Abstract

The Regulations control the production with a view to marketing, the certification and the marketing of seed potatoes in Wales, other than those intended for export outside the European Union. They give effect to the requirements of Council Directive 2002/56/EC on the marketing of seed potatoes as last amended by Commission Implementing Decision 2014/367/EU. They restrict the marketing of seed potatoes in Wales to those seed potatoes meeting the requirements of the defined terms “pre-basic seed potatoes”, “basic seed potatoes”, “test and trial seed potatoes” and “scientific and selection seed potatoes” (as defined). They also concern the certification and grading of seed potatoes produced in Wales. When issuing a crop inspection report to certify seed potatoes as either pre-basic seed potatoes or basic seed potatoes, the authorised officer must also determine the applicable Union grade.
