Regulation 4 implements Article 5 of Commission Implementing Directive (EU) 2016/317 (OJ L 60, 5.3.16, p 72), which amends Section (A) of Annex III to Directive 2002/56/EC, to add an “Officially assigned serial number” to the label particulars required for the official label on a package or container of basic seed potatoes under Schedule 2 to the principal Regulations.
Regulation 3 makes a minor amendment to regulation 11(3)(a) of the principal Regulations to correct an erroneous reference.
