4. Subject to paragraphs 5 to 8, the crop shall conform to the following standards as regards distances from neighbouring sources of pollen—
| Crop | Minimum distance |
|---|---|
| 1 | 2 |
(1) For the production of basic seed— from any pollen source of the genus Beta | 1,000 metres |

| from any pollen sources of the genus Beta not included below | 1,000 metres |
| the intended pollinator or one of the intended pollinators being diploid, from tetraploid sugar beet pollen sources | 600 metres |
| the intended pollinator being exclusively tetraploid, from diploid sugar beet pollen sources | 600 metres |

(e)the intended pollinator or one of the intended pollinators being diploid, from diploid sugar beet pollen sources | 300 metres |
(f)the intended pollinator being exclusively tetraploid, from tetraploid sugar beet pollen sources | 300 metres |
(g)between two sugar beet seed production fields in which male sterility is not used | 300 metres |
