# The Plant Breeders' Rights (Fees) (Amendment) Regulations 1999, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Plant Breeders' Rights (Fees) Regulations 1998 so as to prescribe revised fees in respect of various matters relating to plant breeders' rights arising under the Plant Varieties Act 1997 or the Plant Breeders' Rights Regulations 1998 (regulation 2 and the Schedule).
The matters in respect of which the revised fees are prescribed are listed in the Schedule to these Regulations and the fees which were chargeable before these Regulations come into force are printed in italics beside the revised fees.
Application, test and renewal fees (other than renewal fees for roses which remain unchanged) have been increased by 5 per cent., rounded to the nearest £5. Grant and other fees in Part IV of the Schedule have been similarly increased apart from the fees for items 3, 6, 7 and 8 which remain unchanged.
A Regulatory Impact Assessment has been prepared and placed in the libraries of both Houses of Parliament. Copies can be obtained from the Plant Variety Rights Office and Seeds Division of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, White House Lane, Huntingdon Road, Cambridge CB3 0LF.
