Resumen

This Law, consisting of 84 articles divided into nine Chapters and 1 Appendix containing the terminology, aims to manage and control the breeding, release, modification, listing, distribution and export-import of seeds and the protection of new varieties of plants in the Kingdom of Cambodia. This law is intended to ensure the management, encouragement and sustainable development of seeds for the social, economic, and environmental benefits. This law applies to all seeds, including existing and new varieties of plants, except where the management is defined by other concerned laws. Chapter II regulates new varieties and their circulation in the market and deals with the scope and validity of the Plant Breeder's Right. The granting of the right to protect a new plant variety is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry, Mines and Energy. The management of all other matters relating to seeds is under the general jurisdiction of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fishery. Chapter III, dealing with Seed Management, establishes that the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fishery is the competent authority to prepare a national list including both existing and new varieties which can be registered in the list if they satisfy specific conditions. A glossary of terms used in this law is contained in the appendix.
