COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DIRECTIVE (EU) 2020/432
of 23 March 2020
amending Council Directive 2002/55/EC with regard to the definition of vegetables and the list of genera and species in Article 2(1)(b)
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 2002/55/EC of 13 June 2002 on the marketing of vegetable seed (1), and in particular Article 2(2) thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
In Commission Implementing Directive (EU) 2019/990 (2), which amended Article 2(1)(b) of Directive 2002/55/EC, the definition of ‘vegetables’ preceding the table in that Article was erroneously deleted. As a result, Article 2(1)(b) of Directive 2002/55/EC no longer contains a definition of ‘vegetables’, which is an essential part of that Directive. |
|
(2) |
Directive 2002/55/EC should therefore be corrected accordingly. |
|
(3) |
For reasons of legal certainty, the transposition date set out in this Directive should match the transposition date set out in Implementing Directive (EU) 2019/990. |
|
(4) |
The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
Article 1
