The Seed Marketing (Amendment) Regulations 2012

Made
Laid before Parliament
Coming into force
The Secretary of State makes these Regulations in exercise of the powers in sections 16(1), (1A), (2), (3), (5) and 36 of the Plant Varieties and Seeds Act 19641, after consultation in accordance with section 16(1) of that Act with representatives of such interests as appear to be concerned, and in exercise of the powers in paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to the European Communities Act 19722.
These Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 19723 and it appears to the Secretary of State that it is expedient for the reference in these Regulations to Council Decision 2003/17/EC on the equivalence of field inspections carried out in third countries on seed-producing crops and on the equivalence of seed produced in third countries4 to be construed as a reference to that Decision as amended from time to time.
