Marketing of vegetable seed
1995/0320(CNS)
OBJECTIVE : the proposed consolidated version of Council Directive 70/458/EEC of 29
September 1970 on the marketing of vegetable seed forms part of a much larger programme of
consolidation of the provisions on seeds and propagating material for agriculture, horticulture
and forestry. It aims at legislative consolidation. The existing directives will be replaced by one
new one which will leave their substance untouched but will assemble them into a single text,
with only the formal amendments required by the operation itself. This codified text will serve
as a basis for future legislative developments in this field.
