(This note is not part of the Regulations.)

These Regulations amend the Seeds (Fees) (No. 2) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2002 (S.R. 2002 No. 407), (the “principal Regulations”). The Regulations amend the principal Regulations by inserting an additional entry into Schedules 1 and 2.

These Regulations correct the omission of the fees for official seeds labels and of triticale from the list of seed of the second generation in the principal Regulations.
