Council Regulation (EC) No 15/2008
of 20 December 2007
amending Regulation (EC) No 2100/94 as regards the entitlement to file an application for a Community plant variety right
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 308 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament,
Whereas:

(2) In the interests of the facilitation of trade it is appropriate to make the CPVR easily accessible. Therefore, the conditions for entitlement to file an application for the CPVR should be simplified and one application system for all applicants should be introduced.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 2100/94 should therefore be amended accordingly,
