EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations, which extend to Scotland only, implement Commission Directive 2009/74/EC of 26 June 2009 amending Council Directives 66/401/EEC, 66/402/EEC, 2002/55/EC and 2002/57/EC as regards the botanical names of plants, the scientific names of other organisms and certain Annexes to Directives 66/401/EEC, 66/402/EEC and 2002/57/EC in the light of developments of scientific and technical knowledge (O.J. L 166, 27.6.09, p.40).
These Regulations amend Schedule 1 to each of the Cereal Seed (Scotland) Regulations 2005 (S.S.I. 2005/328), the Fodder Plant Seed (Scotland) Regulations 2005 (S.S.I. 2005/329) and the Oil and Fibre Plant Seed (Scotland) Regulations 2004 (S.S.I. 2004/317) to reflect nomenclature changes to certain species (regulations 4, 7 and 11). Regulations 3, 5(a) to (c), 8 and 9 amend other references in S.S.I. 2005/328 and S.S.I. 2005/329 in consequence of these nomenclature changes.
These Regulations also amend the Cereal Seed (Scotland) Regulations 2005 and the Vegetable Seeds Regulations 1993 (S.S.I. 1993/2008) to reduce the minimum germination standard for naked barley and super-sweet corn (regulations 5(d) and 14).
These Regulations also amend Part II of Schedule 5 to the Oil and Fibre Plant Seed (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and the Vegetable Seeds Regulations 1993 by increasing the maximum weight of a seed lot for certain species to 30 tonnes (regulations 12 and 15). The maximum weight of a seed lot remains subject to a margin by which it may be exceeded by virtue of paragraph 23 of Schedule 5 to the Oil and Fibre Plant Seed (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and Part II of Schedule 5 to the Vegetable Seeds Regulations 1993.
