Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations revoke and replace the Marketing of Ornamental Plant Material Regulations 1995. The Regulations implement:

1)  Council Directive 98/56/EC on the marketing of propagating material of ornamental plants (O.J. No. L226, 13.8.98, p. 16);E+W+S

2)  a Commission Directive setting out additional provisions for lists of varieties of ornamental plants as kept by suppliers under Directive 98/56;E+W+S

3)  a Commission Directive setting out requirements as to the label or other document made out by the supplier pursuant to Council Directive 98/56; andE+W+S

4)  a Commission Directive amending Commission Directive 93/49/EEC setting out the schedule indicating the conditions to be met by ornamental plant propagating material and ornamental plants pursuant to Council Directive 91/682/EEC; those provisions of Directive 93/49 which remain in force are re-enacted in the Regulations.E+W+S

The bulk of the Regulations come into force on 1st July 1999; regulation 7 will come into force on 1st August 1999 and regulation 9 will come into force on 31st December 1999.

(2)  Propagating material intended for use in the conservation of genetic diversity is exempted from the Regulations (regulation 3).E+W+S

(3)  The quality requirements for propagating material, including citrus material and flower bulbs, are modified (regulations 4, 5 and 6).E+W+S

(4)  The system of accreditation for those who market plant material is ended with effect from 1st August and a system of registration is introduced with effect from that date, although accreditation numbers can continue in use until 31st December (regulations 1, 7 and 16).E+W+S

(5)  Suppliers must notify the Minister of the appearance on their premises of any plant pest which is listed in the Plant Health (Great Britain) Order 1993 (regulation 8).E+W+S

(6)  The information to appear in suppliers’ documentation is modified with effect from 31st December 1999, when the form of documentation prescribed under the 1995 Regulations ceases to have effect (regulations 1, 9, 16 and the Schedule).E+W+S

(7)  Importers of propagating material from third countries are required to ensure that it is equivalent to material produced in accordance with Directive 98/56 and to notify the responsible official body (regulation 12).E+W+S

This timeline shows the different points in time where a change occurred. The dates will coincide with the earliest date on which the change (e.g an insertion, a repeal or a substitution) that was applied came into force. The first date in the timeline will usually be the earliest date when the provision came into force. In some cases the first date is 01/02/1991 (or for Northern Ireland legislation 01/01/2006). This date is our basedate. No versions before this date are available. For further information see the Editorial Practice Guide and Glossary under Help.
