Abstract

The Regulations apply to the certification and marketing of seed of oil and fibre plants of the species specified in Schedule 2 to these Regulations (reg. 5). The Regulations include provisions that lay down the procedures relating to the certification of seed of oil and fibre plants in Wales (Part II), including provisions relating to the entry of seed lots (reg. 6), the entry of crops (reg. 7), the field inspection of crops (reg. 8), the lodging of field inspection reports and similar documents (reg. 9), the re-grading of crops (reg. 10), seed testing (reg. 11), the lodging of seed test reports (reg. 12), the re-grading of seed (reg. 13) and the withdrawal of official certification (reg. 14). The Regulations include provisions that prohibit the marketing of seed of oil and fibre plants in Wales except for seed that falls into one of the categories listed in Schedule 6 (reg. 15). These categories are defined in Schedule 1. The prohibition does not apply in the case of seed of a category that is not listed in Schedule 6 where an authorization has been granted for scientific purposes or selection work (reg. 18) or for the purpose of tests and trials (reg. 19) or is authorized by a general licence made under regulation 20. The Regulations lay down requirements relating to the sampling (reg. 23) and packaging (reg. 24) of seed and the sealing (reg. 25) and labelling of packages (reg. 26) of seed. The Regulations enable the National Assembly for Wales to make arrangements for any person to act under its responsibility in carrying out official measures (regulation 28) and include provisions relating to the charging of fees (reg. 29). The contravention of these Regulations is a criminal offence (section 16(7) of the Plant Varieties and Seeds Act 1964).
