Changes from adopted text to adopted text

Removed1. Each Member State shall establish, publish and keep updated, in electronic format, a national register of the basic material of the various species approved on its territory pursuant to Articles 4 and 19 and notified pursuant to Article 18.

RemovedThat register shall contain full details of each unit of approved basic material, together with its unique register reference.

RemovedBy way of derogation from Article 4, the competent authorities shall immediately register in their national registers the basic material included, before … [OJ, please, insert the date of the of this Regulation], in their respective national registers referred to in Article 10(1) of Directive 1999/105/EC, without applying the registration procedure set out in that Article.

Removed2. Each Member State shall establish, publish and keep updated a national list of basic material, which shall be presented as a summary of the national register. It shall make that list available in electronic format to the Commission and the other Member States through FOREMATIS.

Removed3. Member States shall present the national list in a common form for each unit of approval of basic material. For the categories ‘source-identified’ and ‘selected’, it may contain only a summary description of the basic material, on the basis of regions of provenance.

RemovedThe national list shall provide in particular the following details:

Removed(a) botanical name;

Removed(b) category;

Removed(c) type of basic material; [Am. 52]

Removed(d) register reference or, where appropriate, summary thereof, or identity code for region of provenance;

Removed(e) location of basic material: a short name, if appropriate, and one of the following sets of particulars:

Removed(i) for the ‘source-identified’ category, region of provenance and the latitudinal, longitudinal and altitudinal range;

Removed(ii) for the ‘selected’ category, region of provenance and the geographical position defined by latitude, longitude and altitude or the latitudinal, longitudinal and altitudinal range;

Removed(iii) for the ‘qualified’ category, the exact geographical position(s) defined by latitude, longitude and altitude, where the basic material is maintained;

Removed(iv) for the ‘tested’ category, the exact geographical position(s) defined by latitude, and longitude and altitude, where the basic material is maintained;

Removed(f) area: the size of a seed source(s), stand(s) or seed orchard(s);

Removed(g) origin:

Removed(i) indication whether the basic material is autochthonous/indigenous, non-autochthonous/non-indigenous or if the origin is unknown;

Removed(ii) non-autochthonous/ non-indigenous basic material, an indication of the origin, if it is known;

Removed(h) purpose of use of FRM;

Removed(i) in the case of FRM of the ‘tested’ category, an indication whether it is:

Removed(i) genetically modified; or

Removed(ii) an NGT plant;

Removed(j) in the case of qualified and tested categories, information about the place ofharvest area used for the production of clone(s) or clonal mixture(s), where appropriate; [Am. 53]

Removed(ja) any additional information, if available; [Am. 54]

Removed(jb) if applicable, the intellectual property rights existing on the FRM. [Am. 134]

RemovedArticle 13 Union List of Approved Basic Material

Removed1. On the basis of the national lists provided by each Member State in accordance with Article 12, the Commission shall publish a list entitled ‘Union List of Approved Basic Material for the Production of Forest Reproductive Material’.

RemovedThat list shall be made available in electronic format through FOREMATIS.

Removed2. That list shall reflect the details given in the national lists referred to in Article 12(1) and show the area of utilisation. [Am. 55]

RemovedArticle 13a Production from basic material

Removed1. Traceability shall be ensured from the collection of FRM up to the marketing to the end user.

Removed2. Professional operators shall notify the competent authority of their intention to harvest forest reproductive material prior to harvesting in order to allow the competent authority to organise controls.

Removed3. Professional operators shall submit to the competent authority records documenting the harvest of the FRM.

Removed4. Removal from the place of harvest is only permitted with a master certificate.

Removed5. In the interest of the highest possible genetic diversity within the entire seed lot, the seed harvester shall ensure that the seed lot undergoes intensive mixing during all stages of processing prior to marketing or seeding. [Am. 56]

RemovedCHAPTER IV MASTER CERTIFICATE, LABELLING AND PACKAGING

RemovedArticle 14 Master certificate of identity

Removed1. The competent authorities shall issue, upon application of a professional operator, after harvesting the FRM from approved basic material, a master certificate of identity (‘master certificate’), showing the unique register reference of basic material, for all FRM that has been harvested.

RemovedThe master certificate shall attest compliance with the requirements of Article 4(2) that the FRM is derived from approved basic material. [Am. 57]

RemovedThe Commission shall, by means of an implementing act, adopt the content and the model for the master certificate of identity for FRM:

Removed(a) Model master certificate for FRM that is derived from seed sources and stands;

Removed(b) Model master certificate for FRM that is derived from seed orchards or parents of family(ies); and

Removed(c) Model master certificate for FRM that is derived from clones and clonal mixtures;

Removed(ca) Model master certificate for FRM that is derived from a mixture. [Am. 58]

RemovedThat implementing act shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 27(2).

Removed2. Where in accordance with Article 15(2) a Member State adopts measures as regards subsequent vegetative propagation, a new master certificate shall be issued.

Removed3. Where mixing takes place in accordance with Article 15(3), Member States shall ensure that the register references of the components of the mixtures are identifiable, and a new master certificate or other document identifying the mixture shall be issued.

Removed4. Where a lot referred to in Article 15(1) is subdivided into smaller lots that are not processed uniformly and subjected to subsequent vegetative propagation, a new master certificate shall be issued and a reference shall be made to the previous master certificate number.

Removed4a. In the case of a mixture, the professional operator shall announce the mixing to the competent authority in advance in order to allow the competent authority to supervise the mixing process. [Am. 59]

Removed5. A master certificate may also be issued in an electronic form (‘electronic master certificate’).

RemovedThe Commission may, by means of implementing acts, set out technical arrangements for the issuance of electronic master certificates, for ensuring their compliance with this Article and an appropriate, credible and effective mode for the issuance of electronic master certificates. Those implementing acts shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 27(2).

Removed6. The Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts, in accordance with Article 26, supplementing this Article, by setting out rules on:

Removed(a) digital recording of all actions taken by the professional operator and the competent authorities, in order to issue the master certificate; and

Removed(b) establishment of a centralised platform that connects all the Member States and the Commission, to facilitate the processing of, access to and use of those records.

Removed6a. Each Member State shall establish and update a national list of issued master certificates and make that list available to the Commission and competent authorities. [Am. 60]

RemovedArticle 15 Lots

Removed1. FRM shall, during all stages of production, be kept separated by reference to individual units of approval of basic material and the master certificate, when issued, to ensure traceability of the FRM to the approved basic material from which it has been harvested. FRM shall be harvested from those individual units of approval and marketed in lots that shall be sufficiently homogeneous and identified as distinct from other lots of FRM. [Am. 61]

RemovedEach lot of FRM shall be identified by the following:

Removed(a) lot numbercode; [Am. 62]
