It also amends those Directives to take account of new classifications of certain subspecies as independent species.\nThese Regulations also add the vegetable species Asparagus officinalis L. and Cichorium intybus L. to the list of species to which the provisions of the Seeds (National Lists of Varieties) Regulations 2001 apply.\nA transposition note is annexed to the Explanatory Memorandum which is available from the Food and Environment Research Agency, Whitehouse Lane, Huntingdon Road, Cambridge, CB3 OLF.\nAn impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.",
