COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 2002/56/EC
of 13 June 2002
on the marketing of seed potatoes
Article 1
This Directive shall apply to the production with a view to marketing, and to the marketing, of seed potatoes within the Community.
It shall not apply to seed potatoes shown to be intended for export to third countries.
Article 2
For the purposes of this Directive:
(a) ‘marketing’ means the sale, holding with a view to sale, offer for sale and any disposal, supply or transfer aimed at commercial exploitation of seed potatoes to third parties, whether or not for consideration.
Trade in seed potatoes not aimed at commercial exploitation of the variety, such as the following operations, shall not be regarded as marketing:
— the supply of seed potatoes to official testing and inspection bodies,
— the supply of seed potatoes to providers of services for processing or packaging,
provided the provider of services does not acquire title to seed potatoes thus supplied.
The supply of seed potatoes under certain conditions to providers of services for the production of certain agricultural raw materials intended for industrial purposes, or seed propagation for that purpose, shall not be regarded as marketing, provided the provider of services does not acquire title to either the seed thus supplied or the product of the harvest. The supplier of seed potatoes shall provide the certification authority with a copy of the relevant parts of the contract made with the provider of services and this shall include the standards and conditions currently met by the seed potatoes provided.
The conditions for the application of this provision shall be determined in accordance with the procedure laid down in article 25(2);
(b) ‘basic seed potatoes’ means potato tubers
(i) which have been produced according to accepted practices for the maintenance of the variety and of health;
(ii) which are intended mainly for the production of certified seed potatoes;
(iii) which satisfy the minimum conditions laid down in Annexes I and II for basic seed potatoes; and
(iv) which have been found by official examination to satisfy the minimum conditions laid down above;
(c) ‘certified seed potatoes’ means potato tubers
(i) which have been produced directly from basic seed or certified seed, or from seed of a generation prior to basic seed which have been found on official examination to satisfy the conditions laid down for basic seed;
(ii) which are intended mainly for the production of potatoes other than seed potatoes;
(iii) which satisfy the minimum conditions laid down in Annexes I and II for certified seed potatoes; and
(iv) which have been found by official examination to satisfy the abovementioned minimum conditions;
(d) ‘official measures’ means measures taken
(i) by State authorities; or
(ii) by any legal person whether governed by public or by private law, acting under the responsibility of the State; or
(iii) in the case of ancillary activities which are also subject to State control, by any natural person duly sworn for that purpose,
provided that the persons mentioned under (ii) and (iii) derive no private gain from such measures.
Article 3
1. Member States shall provide that seed potatoes may not be placed on the market unless they have been officially certified as ‘basic seed potatoes’ or ‘certified seed potatoes’ and unless they satisfy the minimum conditions laid down in Annexes I and II. The Member States shall provide that seed potatoes which do not, during marketing, satisfy the minimum conditions laid down in Annex II may be sorted. The tubers which are not rejected shall then undergo a further official examination.
2. Member States may subdivide the categories of seed potatoes provided for in Article 2 into grades satisfying different requirements.
3. For seed potatoes which have been officially certified, the following may be determined in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 25(2):
— Community grades,
— the conditions applicable to such grades,
— designations applicable to such grades.
Member States may prescribe the extent to which they apply these Community grades in certifying their own production.
4. For seed potatoes produced by micropropagation techniques and not meeting the size requirements of this Directive, the following may be determined in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 25(2):
— derogation from specific provisions of this Directive,
— the conditions applicable to such seed potatoes,
— the designations applicable to such seed potatoes.
Article 4
Notwithstanding Article 3(1), Member States shall provide that bred seed potatoes of generations prior to basic seed potatoes may be placed on the market.
Article 5
Member States may, as regards the minimum conditions laid down in Annexes I and II, impose additional or more stringent requirements for the certification of seed potatoes produced in their own territory.
Article 6
1. Notwithstanding Article 3(1), Member States may authorise producers in their own territory to place on the market:
(a) small quantities of seed potatoes for scientific purposes or selection work;
(b) appropriate quantities of seed potatoes for other test or trial purposes, provided they belong to varieties for which an application for entry in the catalogue has been submitted in the Member State in question.
In the case of genetically modified material, such authorisation may be granted only if all appropriate measures have been taken to avoid adverse effects on human health and the environment. For the environmental risk assessment to be carried out in this respect, the provisions of Article 7(4) of Directive 2002/53/EC shall apply accordingly.
2. The purposes for which the authorisations referred to in paragraph 1(b) may be given, the provisions relating to the marking of packages, and the quantities and the conditions under which Member States may grant such authorisation shall be determined in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 25(2).
3. Authorisation granted, before 14 December 1998, by Member States to producers in their own territory for the purposes set out in paragraph 1 shall remain in force pending determination of the provisions referred to in paragraph 2. Thereafter, all such authorisations shall respect the provisions established in accordance with paragraph 2.
Article 7
Member States shall require that, for the examination of seed potato tubers for certification, samples are taken officially in accordance with appropriate methods.
Article 8
1. Member States may require that seed potatoes produced in their own territory may be separated during production from other potatoes for plant health reasons.
2. The requirements provided for in paragraph 1 may include measures to:
— separate the production of seed and other potatoes,
— separate the grading, storage, transportation and handling of seed and other potatoes.
Article 9
Member States shall provide that seed potatoes may not be placed on the market if they have been treated with sprout inhibitors.
Article 10
1. Member States shall provide that seed potatoes may not be placed on the market unless they have a minimum size such that they do not pass through a square mesh of 25 × 25 mm. In the case of tubers which are too large to pass through a square mesh of 35 × 35 mm, the upper and lower size limits shall be expressed in multiples of five.
The maximum variation in size between tubers in a lot shall be such that the difference between the dimensions of the two square meshes used does not exceed 25 mm. These sizing standards may be modified in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 25(2).
2. A lot shall not contain more than 3 % by weight of tubers smaller than the minimum size indicated or more than 3 % by weight of tubers larger than the maximum size indicated.
3. Member States may, in respect of seed potatoes produced in their national territory, further reduce the permitted variation in size between tubers in a lot.
Article 11
1. Member States shall require that basic seed potatoes and certified seed potatoes be marketed only in sufficiently homogeneous lots and in closed packages or containers which must be sealed and bear, as prescribed in Articles 12 and 13, a sealing device and markings. The packages must be new; the containers must be clean.
2. Member States may, for the marketing of small quantities to the final consumer, provide for derogations from the provisions of paragraph 1 in respect of packaging, sealing and marking.
Article 12
1. Member States shall require that packages and containers of basic seed potatoes and certified potatoes be sealed officially or under official supervision in such a manner that they cannot be opened without damaging the system of sealing or leaving evidence of tampering on either the official label provided for in Article 13(1) or the package.
In order to ensure closure, the sealing system shall comprise at least either the official label or the affixing of an official seal.
The measures provided for in the second subparagraph above shall not be necessary where a non-reusable sealing system is used.
In accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 25(2) it may be established whether a particular sealing system complies with the provisions of this paragraph.
2. Packages and containers which have been officially sealed shall not be resealed, whether one or more times, except officially or under official supervision. If packages are resealed, the fact of resealing, the most recent date of resealing and the authority responsible therefor shall be stated on the label required under Article 13(1).
3. Member States may provide for exceptions to paragraph 1 in the case of small packages sealed in their own territory. Conditions relating to these exceptions may be determined in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 25(2).
Article 13
1. Member States shall require that packages and containers of basic seed potatoes and certified seed potatoes:
(a) be labelled on the outside with an official label which has not previously been used, which fulfils the conditions laid down in Annex III and the particulars of which are provided in one of the official languages of the Community. The colour of the label shall be white for basic seed potatoes and blue for certified seed potatoes. When a label with a string-hole is used, its attachment shall be ensured in all cases with an official seal. The use of official adhesive labels shall be authorised. In accordance with with procedure referred to in Article 25(2), the indelible printing of the prescribed particulars on the package in accordance with the label model may be authorised under official supervision;
(b) contain an official document, in the same colour as the label, providing at least the label particulars required under Annex III(A)(3), (4) and (6). This document shall be drawn up in such a manner that it cannot be confused with the official label referred to under (a).
This document shall not be necessary if the particulars are printed indelibly on the package or if, in accordance with the provisions under (a), an adhesive label or a label of tear resistant material is used.
2. Member States may provide for exceptions to paragraph 1 in the case of small packages sealed in their own territory. Conditions relating to these exceptions may be determined in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 25(2).
Article 14
In accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 25(2), it may be provided that, in cases other than those provided for in this Directive, packages or containers of basic seed potatoes or certified seed potatoes shall bear a supplier's label (which may either be a label separate from the official label or take the form of the suppliers' information printed on the package or container itself). The particulars to be provided on any such label shall also be established in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 25(2).
Article 15
In the case of seed potatoes of a variety which has been genetically modified, any label or document, official or otherwise, which is affixed to or accompanies the seed lot, under the provisions of this Directive, shall clearly indicate that the variety has been genetically modified.
Article 16
Member States shall require that any chemical treatment of basic seed potatoes or certified seed potatoes be noted either on the official label or on the supplier's label and on the package or inside it or on the container.

In the framework of such experiments, Member States may be released from certain obligations laid down in this Directive. The extent of that release shall be defined with reference to the provisions to which it applies. The duration of an experiment shall not exceed seven years.
Article 20
1. Community comparative tests and trials shall be carried out within the Community for the post-control of samples of seed potatoes placed on the market under the provisions of this Directive, whether mandatory or discretionary, including those relating to plant health and taken during sampling. The comparative tests and trials may include the following:
— seed potatoes harvested in third countries,
— seed potatoes suitable for organic farming,
— seed potatoes marketed in relation to the conservation in situ and the sustainable use of plant genetic resources.
2. These comparative tests and trials shall be used to harmonise the technical methods of certification and to check satisfaction of the conditions with which the seed must comply.

6. The tests and trials foreseen in paragraphs 1 and 2 may be performed only by State authorities or legal persons acting under the responsibility of the State.
7. In accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 25(2), the Commission may prohibit, in whole or in part, the marketing of seed potatoes harvested in a particular area of the Community if the progeny of officially drawn samples of basic seed potatoes or certified seed potatoes harvested in that particular area and grown in one or more Community tests and trials has for three successive years fallen appreciably below the minimum conditions laid down in Annex I(1)(c), (2)(c), (3) and (4).
8. Any measures taken under paragraph 7 shall be withdrawn by the Commission as soon as it has been established with adequate certainty that the basic seed potatoes and certified seed potatoes harvested in the particular area of the Community concerned will in future satisfy the minimum conditions referred to in paragraph 7.
Article 21
1. The Council, acting by a qualified majority on a proposal from the Commission, shall determine whether seed potatoes harvested in a third country and affording the same assurances as regards their characteristics and the arrangements for their inspection, for ensuring identity, for marking and for control are equivalent in these respects to basic seed potatoes or certified seed potatoes harvested within the Community and complying with the provisions of this Directive.
2. Until such time as the Council has taken a decision under paragraph 1, the Member States shall be free to take such decisions themselves. This right shall expire on 1 July 1975.
3. Member States are hereby authorised to extend until ►M9 31 March 2024 ◄ the validity of decisions taken in accordance with paragraph 2, it being understood that these decisions may be used only in accordance with Member States' obligations under the common rules on plant health laid down by Council Directive 2000/29/EC of 8 May 2000 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread in the Community ( 1 ).
