Without prejudice to Article 10(2), vegetable propagating and planting material shall be marketed only in sufficiently homogeneous lots and if they are recognised as complying with this Directive and are accompanied by a document made out by the supplier in accordance with the conditions laid down in the schedule established pursuant to Article 4. If an official statement appears on this document, it shall be clearly separated from all other contents of the document.

Requirements on vegetable propagating and planting material for labelling and/or sealing and packaging shall be set out in the schedule referred to in Article 4.

In the case of supply by the retailer of vegetable propagating and planting material to a non-professional final consumer, requirements on labelling may be confined to appropriate product information.
