Forest Reproductive Material (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2019 (S.R. No. 50 of 2019).

These Regulations amend The Forest Reproductive Material Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2002 to set out the revised requirements which apply in Northern Ireland in relation to forest reproductive material produced in countries outside the European Union. They also implement in relation to Northern Ireland Council Decision 2008/971/EC on the equivalence of forest reproductive material produced in third countries, as amended by Decision No. 1104/2012/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council. No person shall market forest reproductive material in Northern Ireland unless conditions specified in these regulations are met. The Department may authorise a registered supplier by licence to import or market forest reproductive material in Northern Ireland which would otherwise be prohibited. No person may import forest reproductive material into Northern Ireland from a third country for the purpose of marketing it unless— (a) it has been produced in an EU-approved third country or a permitted third country; (b) it is permitted material; and (c) the requirements set out in Schedule 13 are met on entry (OECD Certificate of Provenance).
