EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Plant Breeders' Rights Regulations 1978.

Schemes having been made to enable Plant Breeders' Rights to be granted in respect of sainfoin, birdsfoot trefoil, tomatoes, quince rootstock, herbaceous perennials, trees, shrubs and woody climbers, and miscellaneous ornamentals, Schedule 3 has been superseded by a new Schedule which specifies the reproductive and other material which must be delivered to the Controller when an application is made for a grant of plant breeders' rights in respect of these species.

1 1964 c.14; section 38(1) (as amended by S.I. 1978/272) contains a definition of "the Ministers" relevant to the exercise of the statutory powers under which these Regulations are made.
