[4. The crop shall have sufficient varietal identity and varietal purity. In particular, crops [other than those of the species Pisum sativum , [Vicia faba] , Brassica napus var. napobrassica , Brassica oleracea convar. acephala , [Raphanus sativus ssp. oleifera] [or of Poa pratensis] ] shall conform to the following standards: the number of plants of the crop species which are recognizable as obviously not being true to the variety shall not exceed: U.K.
one per 30 m 2 for the production of basic seed,
one per 10 m 2 for the production of certified seed.]
[In the case of Poa pratensis , the number of plants of the crop species which are recognizable as obviously not being true to the variety shall not exceed:
one per 20 m 2 for the production of basic seed,
four per 10 m 2 for the production of certified seed;
however, in the case of varieties which are officially classified as ‘apomictic uni-clonal varieties’ under agreed procedures, a number of plants recognizable as not being true to the variety, which does not exceed six per 10 m 2 , may be regarded as satisfying the beforementioned standards for the production of certified seed. Upon application, a Member State may be authorized, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 21, to assess the satisfaction of the varietal purity standards in the case of crops of Poa pratensis belonging to such varieties not only on the basis of the results of the field inspection carried out in accordance with paragraph 6 of Annex I, where there is evidence that compliance with the varietal purity standards set up in Annex II is ensured by appropriate seed testing or other appropriate means.]
[In the case of the species Pisum sativum , [Vicia faba] , Brassica napus var. napobrassica , Brassica oleracea convar. acephala [, Raphanus sativus spp. oleifera] [and of apomictic uni-clonal varieties of Poa spp] only the first sentence is applicable.]
