Recital 2
(2) The basic objective of the above Directives is sustainable agricultural, horticultural and forestry production. In order to ensure productivity, the health, quality and diversity of plant reproductive material is of outmost importanceTo this end, these Directives regulate the making available on the market of plant reproductive material aimed at commercial exploitation. In order to ensure productivity, and a certain quality of plant reproductive material legislation on the marketing of plant reproductive material could be useful for agriculture, horticulture, food and feed security, and the economy in general. Moreover, to ensure sustainability, legislation should take account of the need to meet consumers' expectations, to ensure the adaptability of production to manifold agricultural, horticultural and environmental conditions, to face the challenges of climate change and to foster the protection of agro-biodiversity.
Amendment 85 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 3
Recital 3
(3) EAgriculture faces new environmental challenges including climate change and loss of biodiversity. The legislation needs to take better into account this current situation as well as consumers' changes in terms of consumption. In addition, evolution in the areas of agriculture, horticulture, forestry, plant breeding and making available on the market of plant reproductive material has shown that the legislation needs to be simplified and further adapted to the developments of the sector. Therefore, the above Directives should be replaced by a single Regulation on the production, with a view to making available on the market, and the making available on the market, of plant reproductive material within the Union.

Recital 6
(6) In order to determine the scope of the several provisions of this Regulation it is necessary to define the concepts of ‘'professional operator’' and ‘'making available on the market’'. In particular, in view of the marketing developments of the sector, the definition of ‘'making available on the market’' should be as wide as possible to ensure all forms of transactionsconcise to cover all forms of transactions aiming at commercial exploitation of plant reproductive material. That definition should include inter alia persons concluding volume sales through distance contracts (e.g. electronically) and persons who collect basic forest material. Taking into consideration the principle of proportionality non-professionals and farmers exchanging seeds between each other or with individuals should not be considered as "making plant reproductive material available on the market". Farmers exchanging seeds from their own farm on their own behalf and for their own account should not be regarded as professional operators.

Recital 9
Recital 9
(9) In order to ensure transparency and more effective controls on the production and making available on the market of plant reproductive material aimed at commercial exploitation, professional operators shcould be registered. Farmers should not be considered as professional operators. However, in order to reduce the administrative burden for professional operators, by allowing them to register only once in a single register, it is appropriate that they register in the public registers established by the Member States pursuant to Regulation (EU) No …/….../... (Office of Publication, please insert number of Regulation on protective measures against pests of plants).
Amendment 93 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 13
Recital 13
(13) In order to ensure transparency and enable informed choices by consumers, plant reproductive material belonging to listed genera and species should only be produced or made available on the market under predefined categories. Those categories should reflect different quality levels and production stages and be named ‘'pre-basic’', ‘'basic’', ‘'certified’' and ‘'standard’,'. This should however under no circumstances prevent the use of national or private labels and certification schemes.

Recital 14
Recital 14
(14) In ordOper ato ensure the widest possible availability of plant reproductive material and choices by its users, professional operators should, in principle, be able to make available on the market plant reproductive material belonging to listed genera or species under any of the categories. However, in order to ensure food and feed security, and to achieve a high level of identity, quality and health of plant reproductive material, plant reproductive material should not be made available on the market as standard material if the certification costs are proportionate to those objectivesrs take the decision to make available on the market plant reproductive material as standard material or as material undergoing certification.
Amendment 96 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 16
Recital 16
(16) In order to allow for informed choices by users concerning its identity and characteristics, plant reproductive material belonging to listed genera and species should only be produced andmay be made available on the market if it belongs to varieties registered in national variety registers or in the Union variety register.
Amendment 97 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 27
Recital 27
(27) Plant reproductive material which is made available on the market only in limited quantitiesproduced by small producers (‘niche market plant reproductive material’) should be exempted from the requirement of belonging to a registered variety. That derogation is necessary to prevent undue constraints toand to allow the development of the making available on the market of plant reproductive material, which is of lesser commercial interest, but is important for the maintenance of genetic diversity. However, it should be ensured that that derogation is not regularly used by a wide range of professional operators and it is only used by professional operators which cannot afford the costs and administrative burden of variety registration. This is important to avoid abuses of that derogation and to ensure the application of the rules of this Regulation. Therefore, niche market material should only be made available on the market by professional operators employing a small number of persons and with a small annual turnover.
Amendment 99 #

(31) In order to ensure that all varieties have access to registration and are subject to common rules and conditions rules should be established for the registration of varieties and shouldmay apply to varieties of listed genera or species as well as to varieties of non-listed species.

Recital 36
Recital 36
(36) In the context of the Convention on Biological Diversity to which the Union is a party, the Union has committed to maintain the genetic diversity of cultivated plants, and of wild relatives, and to minimise genetic erosion. That commitment complements the objective of the Union to halt biodiversity loss by 2020. In that context, certain varietiesplant reproductive material should be allowed to be produced and made available on the market even if they do not comply with the requirements concerning distinctiveness, uniformity or stability, to ensure their conservation and sustainable use and thus contribute to the sustainability of agriculture and the adaptation to climate change. Therefore, those varieties should only be registered on the basis of an officially recognised description.

Recital 43
(43) In order to facilitate the registration of varietiesplant reproductive material which serves at combating genetic erosion in the Union, Member States should apply a reduced fee for varieties with officially recognised description and for heterogeneous material. Such reduced fees should be sufficiently low as not to constitute a deterrent or a barrier to the making available on the market of those varieties. In order to provide support to micro-enterprises, they should be fully exempted from the payment of fees.

Recital 44
(44) In order to protect the commercial interests and intellectual property of professional operators, the results of the examination and the description of the genealogical components should be treated as confidential until the variety is finally registered, if the breeder so requests. For the sake of transparency, all descriptions of varieties listed in the national variety registers or in the Union variety register should be made publicly available.

In particular, in view of the marketing developments of the sector, the definition of ‘making available on the market’ should be as wide as possible to ensure all forms of transactions of plant reproductive material. That definition should include inter alia persons concluding sales through distance contracts (e.g. electronically) and persons who collect basic forest material.
