Summary

The purpose of the bill is to solve the bottlenecks that have appeared due to the development of the field and to create more flexible solutions for entrepreneurs by introducing exceptions. According to the bill, an exception will be introduced, according to which the law will not apply to the seed and propagating material of old varieties (heirloom varieties, hobby gardeners' varieties) marketed in small quantities. The bill also re-creates the possibility to include well-known varieties of fruit and berry crops in the requirements of the variety list propagation material of well-known varieties of fruit and berry crops based on the corresponding variety description, and the seed potato supplier is given the opportunity to print the labels of the seed potato packages themselves, which is a faster and more flexible solution for the supplier. In addition, according to the draft, the obligation to inform the Environmental Board of the intention to carry out experiments with cultivation material in order to determine the sufficient economic profitability of the production of forest material from it is established, for forestry or research.
