Article 5 Application of provisions in the principal Order for licences for scientific research purposes

The provisions of article 28A (“article 28A”) of the principal Order (Licences for trial or scientific purposes and for work on varietal selection) shall apply in respect of the landing, movement and keeping of susceptible material originating in the USA (other than that consigned to Great Britain from another member State, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man or elsewhere in the United Kingdom) which does not fulfil the conditions of landing specified in the Schedule as if the susceptible material were “relevant material” the landing, movement or keeping of which would, but for a licence granted under article 28A, be prohibited under that Order.

Any licence granted under article 28A by virtue of this article shall be treated as if the licence had been granted under the principal Order, and the provisions of the principal Order (including article 24 (Examination, sampling and marking) and 3l(1)(a) and (b) (Offences)) shall apply accordingly.
