Fruit Trees Propagation Material (Amendment No. 2) Regulations, 2020 (L.N. 144 of 2020)

These regulations, which transpose the Commission Implementing Directive (EU) 2019/1813 amending Implementing Directive 2014/96/EU on the requirements for the labelling, sealing and packaging of fruit plant propagating material and fruit plants intended for fruit production, amend the Fruit Trees Propagation Material Regulations (principal regulations). In detail, item (4) of Section I of Schedule II to the principal regulations is amended to substitute the colour of the labels of pre-basic, basic and certified material. Section IV is substituted: in particular item (1) concerning the supplier’s document for CAC material, is substituted to ensure that CAC material is marketed with a document prepared by the supplier in compliance with items (2), (3) and (4) that follow and to ensure that the supplier’s document does not resemble to the accompanying document referred to in Section I and Section II, so as to avoid any possible confusion between those two documents. Item (2) concerning the minimum information to be contained in the supplier’s document is also substituted. Item (3) is amended to provide for the supplier's document to be yellow if it is affixed to the CAC material. Finally, item (4) requires that the supplier's document is indelibly printed in one of the official languages of the Union, clearly visible and legible.
