ISTR problems with one poster called Janet. So does anyone know if this is a real issue - will we see heritage varieties disappear from seed suppliers and plant breeders? Cheers Dave R Janet's reply was as follows: Quote "The previous thread is called Have you heard about this, started May 12th. I quote my post to it: http://ec.europa.eu/dgs/health_consu...oposal_aphp_en. Page 16, para 27, "Plant reproductive material which is made available on the market only in limited quantities by small producers (niche market plant reproductive material) should be exempted from the requirement of belonging to a registered variety. That derogation is necessary to prevent undue constraints to the making available on the market of plant reproductive material, which is of lesser commercial interest, but is important for the maintenance of genetic diversity. " That statement appears to exclude Heritage seeds (and small producers/traders in Heritage seeds) from the need to register varieties. Paras 36 and 37 also appear to derogate Heritage material Plus, there will be no restriction or registration requirement on non- commercial exchanges of seed between private individuals .................................................. Janet" Unquote The full thread is at https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=...rec.gardening/ meNv8Dz6kII I suggest you check your kill file and remove Janet's name from it if it's there. Thanks - drifting of topic a bit but was there a problem with two Janets, one of whom was offensive, and possibly both posting from the same identity? If so, has this been resolved? Cheers Dave R |
