    COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DIRECTIVE 2012/8/EU

    of 2 March 2012

    amending Directive 2003/90/EC setting out implementing measures for the purposes of Article 7 of Council Directive 2002/53/EC as regards the characteristics to be covered as a minimum by the examination and the minimum conditions for examining certain varieties of agricultural plant species

    (Text with EEA relevance)

    THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

    Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

    Having regard to Council Directive 2002/53/EC of 13 June 2002 on the common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species (1), and in particular Article 7(2) (a) and (b) thereof,

    Whereas:

    (1)

    Commission Directive 2003/90/EC (2) was adopted to ensure that the varieties the Member States include in their national catalogues comply with the guidelines established by the Community Plant Variety Office (CPVO) as regards the characteristics to be covered as a minimum by the examination of the various species and the minimum conditions for examining the varieties, as far as such guidelines had been established. For other varieties this Directive provides that guidelines of the International Union for Protection of new Varieties of Plants (UPOV) are to apply.

    (2)

    The CPVO has since established further guidelines for a number of other species, and has updated existing ones.

    (3)

    Directive 2003/90/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.

    (4)

    The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,

    HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

    Article 1

    Article 2

    For examinations started before 1 October 2012 Member States may apply Directive 2003/90/EC in the version applying before its amendment by this Directive.

    Article 3

    Member States shall adopt and publish, by 30 September 2012 at the latest, the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions.

    They shall apply those provisions from 1 October 2012.

    When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.

    Article 4

    This Directive shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

    Article 5

    This Directive is addressed to the Member States.
