EXPLANATORY NOTE

These Regulations amend the Seed Potatoes (England) Regulations 2006 (S.I. 2006/1161) by substituting paragraphs 4, 7 and 10 of Schedule 1. They provide that a growing crop certificate cannot be issued with a statement that seed potatoes are capable of being marketed as pre-basic, basic or certified seed potatoes unless the land in which they are grown is free from Potato Cyst Nematode and has not been demarcated under Schedule 15 to the Plant Health (England) Order 2005 or used for growing potatoes for a specified period.

These Regulations also make minor amendments to the tables in Parts II and III of Schedule 3.
