Ornamental Plants Council Law (Export and Marketing)-1976.

This Law makes provisions for the institution of an Ornamental Plants Production and Marketing Council. The Council shall be appointed within six months from the date of this Law. The Council will operate as a single exporter for ornamental plants although the executive committee has the power to authorize private exporters to deal with the exportation of some species. An Authorized Exporter will operate within the guidelines set by the council. Rules from the Fruit Production and Marketing Board Law-1973, must be revised and adapted for this Law. Financial fines are set for transgressors and a court may order, in addition to the financial fine, a Marketing Prohibition Order valid until another order is published or a verdict is obtained. The Ministers in charge of the execution of this Law have the power to set regulations. Annex (1) contains a list of ornamental species.
