The Marketing of Vegetable Plant Material (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2007
These Regulations, which extend to Northern Ireland only, amend the Marketing of Vegetable Plant Material Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1995 (“the principal Regulations”) in order to update the list of genera and species of plant material to which those Regulations apply. This implements Article 1 of Commission Directive 2006/124/EC which amended the list of genera and species of plants to which Council Directive 92/33/EEC (“the Council Directive”) applies. The Council Directive has been extended to apply to Zea Mays L.(popcorn and sweetcorn) and, additionally, certain botanical names used in that Directive have been amended.
