The Order sets regulations on the sale of seeds (specified in Appendix 2). The document applies to batches of seeds specified in Appendix 2. Any trade of seeds shall be subject to registration with the Danish AgriFish Agency after approved certification. A batch including mixtures of seeds must be notified for certification in sealed units and marked with official labels. Businesses shall be subject to the inspection of lots which must comply with standards set in Appendix 3 and 5 on the variety and content of species. Applications for permission to trade in environmental seed mixtures shall be submitted to the Agency on special form by March 1 of the year of production. All costs associated with the inspection shall be borne by the company. Inspection fees should be applied in accordance with relevant international standards. The Danish AgriFish Agency may certify a party of seeds in adherence to regulations for certification of internationally-sold seeds by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), should a lot be exported to a non-EU member state. There is no standard format for communicating control culture results. As a minimum, the statement should clearly indicate which authority has carried out the cultivation, be designed in Danish or English, clearly indicate which party carries out inspections, include the text "The sample(s) has/have been found true to type and meet(s) the EU-norms for varietal purity.
