These Regulations, which extend to Wales only, implement Community Directives and a Decision relating to the marketing of various cultivation varieties of seed and for measures to prevent genetic erosion and the acceptance of locally adaptable or present landraces. These Regulations prescribe requirements for the marketing of seed. Seed must comply with the requirements set out for certification, packaging, sealing and labelling. A licence is required to carry out certain operations such as marketing seed. The Regulations also concern record-keeping requirements and grants power to the Welsh Ministers to license crop inspectors, seed samplers and seed testing stations to act under these Regulations.
