(a)a part maintained by the Welsh Ministers which shall record suppliers whose principal place of business or trade is in Wales;

(b)a part maintained by the Commissioners which shall record suppliers whose principal place of business or trade is in England F3....

[F4(c)a part maintained by the Scottish Ministers which shall record suppliers whose principal place of business or trade is in Scotland.]

(b)the Commissioners, in relation to a supplier whose principal place of business or trade is in England F6....]

(3) [F9The appropriate authority] shall enter in the Register of Suppliers the name of a supplier (a “registered supplier”) whose application has been submitted in accordance with paragraph (2), except that if they are satisfied that upon their doing so, a breach of these Regulations is likely to occur within a reasonable time after entry of the applicant’s name in the Register of Suppliers, or if they are not satisfied that the applicant is or intends to be a supplier or importer of forest reproductive material, they need not enter the applicant’s name in the Register of Suppliers, and shall instead provide the applicant, within 14 days of reaching such a decision, with written reasons for doing so.
