## Introductory text

Seeds, Wales
Made 5 March 2014
Laid before the National Assembly for Wales 7 March 2014
Coming into force 31 March 2014
The Welsh Ministers are designated for the purposes of section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 in relation to the common agricultural policy of the European Union.
The Welsh Ministers make these Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred on them by sections 16(1), (1A), (2), (3), (4), (5) and (5A) and 36 of the Plant Varieties and Seeds Act 1964, after consultation in accordance with section 16(1) of that Act with representatives of such interests as appear to be concerned.
The Welsh Ministers make these Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred on them by section 2(2) of, and paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to the European Communities Act 1972.
These Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 and it appears to the Welsh Ministers that it is expedient for the reference in these Regulations to Annex II to Council Directive 2008/72/EC on the marketing of vegetable propagating and planting material, other than seed to be construed as a reference to that Annex as amended from time to time.

## Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Seed Marketing (Wales) Regulations 2012 (S.I 2012/245 (W.39)) and the Marketing of Vegetable Plant Material Regulations 1995 (S.I. 1995/2652) (“the Vegetable Plant Regulations”) in relation to Wales.
These Regulations implement Commission Implementing Directive 2013/45/EU (OJ No L 213, 8.8.2013 p.20) which amends Directive 2002/55/EC (OJ No L 193, 20.7.2002, p.33), Directive 2008/72/EC (OJ No L 205, 1.8.2008, p.28) and Directive 2009/145/EC (OJ No L 312, 27.11.2009, p.44) as regards the botanical name of tomato to reflect revisions to the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature.
Directive 92/33/EEC (OJ No L 157, 10.6.1992, p.1) has been repealed by Directive 2008/72/EC on the marketing of vegetable propagating and planting material, other than seed. The Vegetable Plant Regulations are amended to reflect this repeal and now apply to plant material of the genera and species listed in Annex II as amended from time to time to Directive 2008/72/EC.
The Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. As a result it was not considered necessary to carry out a regulatory impact assessment as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with these Regulations.
