The Marketing of Vegetable Plant Material Amendment (Scotland) Regulations 2007
These Regulations, which extend to Scotland only, come into force on 1st July 2007. They amend the Marketing of Vegetable Plant Material Regulations 1995 (“the principal Regulations”) in order to update the list of genera and species of plants to which those Regulations apply (regulations 3 and 6). This implements Article 1 of Commission Directive 2006/124/EC, which amended the list of genera and species to which Council Directive 92/33/EEC on the marketing of vegetable propagating and planting material, other than seed, applies. Council Directive 92/33/EEC has been extended to apply to Zea Mays L. (popcorn and sweetcorn) and, additionally, certain botanical names used in that Directive have been amended.
