Fodder Plant Seeds Regulations 1993 (S.I. No. 2009 of 1993).

These Regulations continue to restrict the marketing in Great Britain of seeds of fodder to specified categories meeting precribed standards (regs. 3, 5 and Schedule 4), to require such seeds to be sold in sealed packages labelled or marked with prescribed particulars (regs. 8 and 9 and Schedule 6) and to make tampering with labels prescribed by regulations an offence (reg. 9). The Regulations also continue to make provision for the taking of samples for the verification of standards (reg. 7 and Schedule 5) and provide that certain particulars stated or implied on a package of seeds are deemed to constitute a statutory warranty by the seller for the protection of the purchaser for the purpose of section 17 of the Plant Varieties and Seeds Act 1964 (reg. 10). The consolidation incorporates a provision, required under Council Directive 88/380/EEC which relates to the marketing to other Member States of seed in respect of which an official certificate has not been issued (reg. 5 (16) and Schedule 6 Part I G).
