38 Amendments of Norbert LINS related to 2023/0227(COD)

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 6

(6) The scope of this Regulation should only cover the PRM of certain genera and species of increased economic and social importance. That importance should be assessed depending on whether such genera and species represent a significant area of production and value in the Union, on their role for the security of food and feed production in the Union, and on whether they are marketed in at least two Member States. That area of production and value may concern several technical aspects. Depending on the circumstances, it may be calculated on the basis of factors such as the total size of productive land in several different areas of the Union, the marketing value of PRM in relation to specific sectors, or the demands for those species by farmers, final users and industry. Due to other application objectives, separate regulations should be created for wild plant species.

Proposal for a regulation
Article 22

Article 22 Preservation mixtures 1. By way of derogation from Article 21(1), Member States may authorise the production and marketing of a mixture of seeds of various genera or species listed in Part A of Annex I, as well as of different varieties of those genera or species, together with seeds of genera or species of other Parts of that Annex, or of genera or species not listed in that Annex, if such a mixture fulfils all of the following conditions: (a) it contributes to the conservation of genetic resources, or the restoration of the natural environment; and (b) it is naturally associated with a particular area (‘source area’) contributing to the conservation of genetic resources or the restoration of the natural environment; (c) it complies with the requirements of Annex V. Such mixture constitutes a ‘preservation mixture’ and this shall be mentioned on its label. 2. The Commission is empowered to adopt a delegated act, in accordance with Article 75, amending Annex V concerning the following elements: (a) authorisation requirements for mixtures of seeds collected directly from a natural place belonging to a defined source area, for the conservation and restoration of the natural environment (directly harvested preservation mixtures); (b) authorisation requirements for crop- grown preservation mixtures; (c) use and content of certain species; (d) requirements on sealing and packaging; (e) requirements for the authorisation of the professional operators. Those amendments shall be based on the experience gathered by the implementation of this Article, and any technical and scientific developments and the improvement of the quality and identification of preservation mixtures. They may concern particular genera or species only. 3. Professional operators shall report to the respective competent authorities, for each production season, the amount of preservation mixtures produced and marketed by them. The Member States shall report on request to the Commission and to the other Member States the amount of preservation mixtures produced and marketed in their territory and, where applicable, the names of competent authorities responsible for plant genetic resources or of organisations recognised for this purpose.deleted

(f) where the varieties are tolerant to herbicides, they are subject to submitting a plan for cultivation conditions for the production of PRM, and for any other purpose, adopted pursuant to paragraph 3 or, in the case they have not been adopted, as adopted by the competent authorities responsible for registration, to avoid the development of herbicide resistance in weeds due to their use; when a plan for cultivation conditions has already been submitted the application for registrations of subsequent varieties with similar characteristics would adhere to that same plan.
