This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. This Regulation shall apply from 1 January 2022.

Abstract

This Regulation establishes requirements and rules for the production and marketing of plant reproductive material of organic heterogeneous material concerning the description, minimum quality requirements for seed lots, including identity, analytical purity, germination rates and sanitary quality, packaging, and labelling of plant reproductive material of the organic heterogeneous material. The operators are obliged to keep the necessary records to ensure the traceability, plant health controls and best possible management of the organic heterogeneous material. This Regulation sets out specific criteria and conditions for the performance of official controls to ensure the traceability at all stages of production, preparation and distribution, and compliance with Regulation (EU) 2018/848. The identification and traceability of organic heterogeneous material should thus be guaranteed through the description of its production methods and its phenotypic and agronomic characteristics.
