(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Seeds (Fees) Regulations 1985 (as amended). They prescribe revised fees in respect of matters arising under the Cereal Seeds Regulations 1993 (as amended), the Fodder Plant Seeds Regulations 1993 (as amended), the Oil and Fibre Plant Seeds Regulations 1993 (as amended), the Beet Seeds Regulations 1993 (as amended), the Vegetable Seeds Regulations 1993 (as amended) and the Seeds (Registration, Licensing and Enforcement) Regulations 1985 (as amended) (regulation 2). They also provide for fees to be charged for examinations for crop inspectors and seed samplers.

The matters in respect of which the revised fees are prescribed are listed in the Schedule to these Regulations, and the fees which were chargeable before these Regulations came into force are printed in italics beside the revised fees. New fees have been introduced for crop examinations of crops produced from seed of a variety entered for but not added to the National List (or to the equivalent list in another Member State) intended to produce certified seed, certified seed of the first generation, certified seed of the second generation or certified seed of the third generation.

All fees have been increased by five per cent. rounded to the nearest five pence except in the case of the annual fee for Licensed Seed Testing Stations which has been rounded to the nearest £1.

A Regulatory Appraisal has been prepared in accordance with section 65 of the Government of Wales Act 1998. Copies can be obtained from the National Assembly for Wales Agriculture Department, Cathays Park, Cardiff CF10 3NQ.
