Whereas:

(1) Article 9(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1238/95 of 31 May 1995 establishing implementing rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 2100/94 as regards the fees payable to the Community Plant Variety Office ², sets out the level of the fee payable to the Community Plant Variety Office (‘the Office’), for each year of the duration of a Community plant variety right as provided for in Article 113(2)(d) of Regulation (EC) No 2100/94.
