Plant reproductive material: production and making available on the market

The Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development adopted the report by Sergio Paolo Francesco SILVESTRIS (EPP, IT) on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the production and making available on the market of plant reproductive material (plant reproductive material law).

The parliamentary committee recommended that the European Parliament, at first reading of the ordinary legislative procedure, reject the Commission proposal. It called on the Commission to withdraw its proposal and submit a new one.

To recall, the proposal aims to consolidate and update legislation on the marketing of the material reproduction of plants (MRV) by repealing and replacing twelve existing directives.
