Summary

Generated

This codification consolidates existing rules establishing equivalence between EU and third-country seed inspections and production standards, facilitating seed imports. It primarily affects agricultural seed producers, traders, and plant breeding sectors engaged in international trade. The Commission adopted an amended proposal in March 2026, and the file is now with the co-legislators.
