Member states endorse proposal on preservation seed mixtures

摘要

On June 25, member states endorsed a European Commission proposal for the placing on the market of certain types of wild plant seeds from conserved habitats. The proposal, which was adopted by the Standing Committee on seeds and propagating material for agriculture, horticulture and forestry, relaxes rules to allow for the marketing of wild types of plant seeds.rnThese seeds, known as 'preservation seed mixtures', are collected from natural or semi-natural grasslands in accordance with the Habitats Directive (92/43/EEC).
