Abstract

The Commission is required pursuant to article 16(1) of Directive 2008/72/EC to decide whether vegetable propagating and planting material, other than seed, produced in a third country is equivalent to vegetable propagating and planting material other than seed produced in the European Union and complying with the requirements and conditions of that Directive. The decision has not been adopted yet. Pending its adoption, and in order to prevent trade patterns from being disrupted, Member States importing vegetable propagating and planting material, other than seed, from third countries are allowed to apply to such products conditions at least equivalent to those applicable to similar European Union products in accordance with article 16(2) of Directive 2008/72/EC. This Decision extends until 31 December 2022 the period of application of such derogation.
