Abstract

This Regulation sets definitions and makes provisions for the prevention of bad weeds seeds spreading. Section 1 gives definitions: waste is defined as residues of cereals or seeds left after sorting operations. Section 2 prohibits the storage of waste or its transportation unless packed in a way to prevent its dispersing and bad weeds seeds have been treated in a way to eliminate their germination power. Feeding animals with waste is prohibited unless bad weeds seeds have been treated in the aforementioned way. Tools and vehicles shall not exit a local authority territory unless clean from waste. Section 3 sets offences and penalties.
