Abstract

These Regulations implement Commission Directive 95/6/EC amending Annexes I and II to Council Directive 66/402/EEC on the marketing of cereal seed as amended. They permit the marketing of seeds of hybrids of rye as Certified Seed. They establish conditions to be met both by the crops from which seeds of hybrids of rye are obtained and by the seeds themselves: (a) The crop shall have sufficient varietal identity and varietal purity as regards the characteristics of the components, including male sterility; (b) In particular, the crop shall conform to the following standards: (i) the number of plants of the crop species that are recognisable as obviously not being true to the component shall not exceed one per 30 square metres for the production of Basic Seed and, in respect of official field inspections of the female component, one per 10 square metres for the production of Certified Seed; and (ii) in the case of Basic Seed where male sterility is used, the level of sterility of the male-sterile component shall be at least 98 percent; (c) Where appropriate, Certified Seed shall be produced in mixed cultivation of a female male-sterile component with a male component which restores male fertility. Regulation 2(5) also corrects a drafting error in the first line of paragraph 3(a) of Part II of Schedule 4 to the Cereal Seeds Regulations 1993.
