Abstract

This Regulation, issued by the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Fisheries, applies to varieties of species that need to be registered on the national variety list in order to be placed on the market and which are covered by the Regulations mentioned in Article 1. It does not apply to varieties whose seeds or plants are clearly intended for export to third countries. The Regulation lays down detailed rules on the procedure for registration in the national variety list. The Danish Agricultural Agency (Landbrugsstyrelsen) may reject the registration of a variety if its cultivation may pose a risk to human, animal, or plant health, or to the environment. A genetically modified variety may be registered if is approved for cultivation within the European Union. The national variety list is found in Annex 2.
