TITLE VU.K.MARKETING AND LABELLING OF PROPAGATING MATERIAL
Article 8U.K.
1.Propagating material shall be marketed in lots. However, propagating material of different lots may be marketed in a single consignment, provided that the supplier keeps records of the composition and origin of the different lots.
2.Propagating material when marketed shall be accompanied by a label or other document made out by the supplier.
3.In accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 17, requirements as to the label or document referred to in paragraph 2 shall be established. In the case of marketing of propagating material for persons not professionally engaged in the production or sale of ornamental plants or propagating material, requirements on labelling may be confined to appropriate product information. Requirements as to packaging of propagating material may be adopted in accordance with the same procedure.
4.Paragraph 1 shall not apply to propagating material which is marketed for persons not professionally engaged in the production or sale of ornamental plants or propagating material.
Article 9U.K.
1.Propagating material may be marketed with a reference to a variety, only if the variety concerned is:
legally protected by a plant variety right in accordance with provisions on the protection of new varieties, or
officially registered, or
commonly known, or
entered on a list kept by a supplier with its detailed description and denomination. Such lists shall be drawn up in accordance with accepted international guidelines, where these are applicable. The lists shall be available, on request, to the responsible official body of the Member State concerned.
2.As far as possible, each variety shall bear the same denomination in all the Member States, in accordance with implementing measures which may be adopted in accordance with the provisions of Article 17 or, in their absence, in accordance with accepted international guidelines.
3.Where propagating material is marketed with a reference to a group of plants rather than a variety referred to in paragraph 1, the supplier shall indicate the group of plants in such a way as to avoid confusion with any varietal denomination.
4.Additional implementing provisions for the fourth indent of paragraph 1 may be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 17.
