Marketing of Ornamental Plant Propagating Material Amendment (Scotland) Regulations 2018 (S.S.I. No. 284 of 2018).

These Regulations amend the Marketing of Ornamental Plant Propagating Material Regulations 1999 in order to fully transpose Council Directive 98/56/EC on the marketing of propagating material of ornamental plants. They also transpose Commission Implementing Directive (EU) 2018/484 and update out of date references to domestic legislation and EU instruments. The Regulations: replace references to Council Directive 77/93/EEC with references to Council Directive 2000/29/EC; replace references to the Plant Health (Great Britain) Order 1993 (S.I. 1993/1320) with references to the Plant Health (Scotland) Order 2005; and insert a new regulation 6A providing for additional requirements to be met when marketing propagating material of the Palmae family of the genera and species listed in schedule 2 (which is also inserted by these Regulations).
