Regulation 12 Variation of licences
A crop inspector may apply to the Secretary of State for his licence to be varied so as to authorise him to inspect crops being grown to produce seed of another species and category listed in Part I of Schedule 2 in addition to the species and category specified in his licence or instead of such species and category.
Where an application is made under paragraph (1) it shall be treated as though it had been made under regulation 10(1) and the Secretary of State may vary a crop inspector’s licence so as to authorise him to inspect crops of the species and category to which his application relates if she is satisfied that the applicant has satisfied the requirements of regulation 11(1).
In varying a licence under paragraph (2) the Secretary of State may vary the functions of the crop inspector specified in his licence and the conditions imposed by his licence.
Subject to regulation 36, the Secretary of State may vary a crop inspector’s licence whether or not she has received any application under this regulation by—
removing his authorisation to inspect a species and category of crop if she is satisfied that the crop inspector is no longer qualified to inspect crops of that species and category or that his authorisation to inspect such crops is otherwise no longer appropriate; or
varying the functions or the conditions set out in the licence.
