Abstract

These Regulations amend the Fodder Plant Seed (Scotland) Regulations 2005 in order to permit the marketing of preservation mixtures, i.e. a mixture (other than a mixture covered by regulation 8) of fodder plant seed of any of the species specified in Schedule 1, which the Scottish Ministers are satisfied will, when used: (a) assist in the conservation of genetic resource; and (b) reduce the loss of genetic diversity or natural habitat. The Regulations implement Commission Directive 2010/60/EU. They, among other things, insert a new regulation 8A in the principal Regulations to provide a procedure whereby a producer established in Scotland may apply to the Scottish Ministers for an authorization to market either a directly harvested or a crop-grown preservation mixture.
