PART 2Marketing of Plant Material
Labelling, sealing and packaging of certified plant materialI110
1
Certified plant material, which is marketed, must be labelled, sealed and packaged in accordance with this regulation.
2
The Welsh Ministers must issue or approve a label (an official label) if that label meets the requirements in Part 1 of Schedule 2.
3
But a label used in the retail supply of certified plant material to a non-professional final consumer need only contain appropriate product information, including the name of the responsible authority, the supplier’s name or registration number, the botanical name and variety denomination.
4
An official label must be affixed to the certified plant material.
5
Where certified plant material forms part of the same lot and is being marketed in a package, bundle or container, an official label must be affixed to that package, bundle or container.
6
Paragraphs (4) and (5) do not apply where certified plant material is accompanied by a plant passport issued in accordance with Directive 2000/29/EC, which contains the information in paragraph 4 of Schedule 2.
7
A supplier must not market certified plant material in lots of two or more plants or parts of plants unless those lots are sufficiently homogeneous and are properly packaged.
8
For the purposes of paragraph (7), “properly packaged” means the plants or parts of plants—
a
are in a package or container that is sealed in a way that prevents the package or container from being opened without damaging the closure or rendering the official label invalid; or
b
form part of a bundle that is tied in such a way that the plants or parts of plants forming part of the bundle cannot be separated without damaging the tie or ties.
