Explanatory note (This note is not part of the Regulations) These Regulations amend the Seeds (National Lists of Varieties) (Fees) Regulations 1994 (as amended) so as to prescribe revised fees in respect of matters arising under the Seeds (National Lists of Varieties) Regulations 1982 (as amended) (regulation 2). 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 came into force are printed in italics beside the revised fees. Application, test, trial, observation plot, award and renewal fees have been increased by 3.5 per cent, rounded to the nearest £5. The fee for the purchase of a report from a testing authority in another country has been decreased to accord with the international charge of 350 Swiss Francs. Other fees in Schedule 5 have been increased by £5. A regulatory appraisal has been prepared and placed in the library of both Houses of Parliament.
