(d) the period for which marketing is authorised;

(e) the date on which the authorisation was issued; and

(f) the proposed name of the variety of the seed potatoes.

3.  No authorisation is to be issued by an authorised officer unless that officer is satisfied that—

(b) the land on which the seed potatoes are growing or were grown is not land which is demarcated under [F49 Part 3 of Schedule 2 to the Official Controls (Plant Health) Regulations] as contaminated with Wart Disease (Synchytrium endobioticum (Schilb) Perc) or is within a safety zone demarcated under [F50 those Regulations];

(c) the land on which the seed potatoes are growing or were grown is land which is not contaminated by Globodera species infesting potatoes;

(d) the seed potatoes are taken from a crop of seed potatoes free from Globodera species infesting potatoes, Synchytrium endobioticum (Schilb) Perc, Clavibacter michiganensis (Smith) Davis et al ssp Sepedonicus (Spieck & Kotth) Davis et al) and Ralstonia solanacearum (Smith) Yabuuchi et al);

(e) the number of growing plants affected by blackleg does not exceed 4%;

(f) the immediately succeeding crop produced from the seed potatoes is, in the opinion of the authorised officer, likely to contain—

(i) not more than 0.5% by number of growing plants which do not breed true to variety and not more than 0.2% by number of growing plants which are of a different variety; and

(ii) not more than 10% by number of growing plants which show symptoms, other than slight symptoms, of severe virus diseases F51 ... (light mosaics causing discoloration and not leaf deformation are to be ignored); and
