Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Seed Potatoes Regulations 2000 (S.S.I. 2000/201) (“the Principal Regulations”). These Regulations give effect to Commission Directive 2008/62/EC, whereby Member States may make certain derogations from compliance with the general requirements for acceptance of varieties and the marketing of seed potatoes.
Article 13 of Commission Directive 2008/62/EC stipulates that seed potatoes of a conservation variety may only be marketed subject to certain conditions. Article 14 of the Commission Directive 2008/62/EC imposes a quantitative restriction upon each Member State for each conservation variety and Article 18 provides for each package or container of seed potato of a conservation variety to bear certain information upon a supplier’s label or printed or stamped notice.
These Regulations introduce these changes:
Regulation 3 amends the interpretation provisions in regulation 2 of the Principal Regulations to include a definition of additional region, a conservation variety, region of origin and Commission Directive 2008/62. Regulation 4 amends regulation 8 by insertion of new paragraphs introducing restrictions placed upon marketing seed potatoes of a conservation variety. Regulation 5 amends Schedule 6 by inserting a requirement for official labels for seed potatoes of a conservation variety to bear the words ‘conservation variety’ and state their region of origin in addition to the other information required.
