Abstract

The Regulations provide that fodder plant seed may not be marketed unless it has been certified, closed and labelled in accordance with the EEC Directives on the marketing of fodder plant seed, except in the case of a small number of species the marketing of which is still allowed as commercial seed. In addition, they provide that fodder plant seed may not be marketed unless it is seed of a variety registered in the National Catalogue or in the EEC Common Catalogue. Mixtures of fodder plant seed may not be marketed unless they have been officially certified, closed and labelled and, in the case of mixtures intended for the production of fodder plants, they have been mixed in the presence and under the supervision of a full-time officer of the official authority. Further these Regulations provide for the registration by the Minister for Agriculture of any person who carries on the business of processing, mixing, importing or packing fodder plant seed.
