Whereas, in applying the provisions of this Directive, it is appropriate to take into account the production cycles of the various materials;

Whereas, the conditions laid down in this Directive must be regarded as the minimum standard acceptable at this stage taking into account the current production conditions in the Community; whereas they will progressively be developed and refined, in order ultimately to achieve high standards of improved quality;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee for propagating Materials and Ornamental Plants,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

Article 4

1.  The material shall have adequate identity and purity relative to the genus or species in question, or where appropriate, group of plants, and, where marketed or intended to be marketed with a reference to the variety pursuant to Article 9 (1) of Directive 91/682/EEC, shall also have identity and purity as to variety.
