Council Directive 66/403/EEC on the marketing of seed potatoes.

This Directive shall apply to seed potatoes marketed within the Community.

The Member States shall provide that seed potatoes, which do not during marketing satisfy the minimum conditions, laid down in Annex II may be sorted. The tubers that are not rejected shall then undergo a further official examination. The Member States shall require that packages of basic seed potatoes and certified seed potatoes be labelled on the outside with an official label in one of the official languages of the Community conforming to the specification in Annex III.
