# The Plant Breeders' Rights (Amendment) Regulations 1990, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Plant Breeders' Rights Regulations 1978.
Schemes have been made to enable plant breeders' rights to be granted in respect of Festulolium, coriander, borage, sunflower, turnip rape, Kalanchoe, Impatiens, Euphor-bia milii and Scaevola aemula. Parts III, IV and XII of Schedule 3 to the 1978 Regulations (which Schedule was inserted into the 1978 Regulations by the Plant Breeders' Rights (Amendment) Regulations 1982 and amended by S.I. 1985/1092) have been amended so as to specify the reproductive and other material which must be delivered to the Controller when an application is made for a grant of plant breeders' rights in respect of varieties of those kinds (regulation 2(a) and (b)(i)).
The amendment made to sub-paragraph 3(i) of Part IV of Schedule 3 to the 1978 Regulations reduces the maximum content by number of seeds of Rumex ssp in varieties of swede rape including oilseed rape, white mustard and brown and black mustard from 20 to 5.
