Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2016/1925, adopted at Brussels on 31 October 2016 by the European Commission, repeals Implementing Decision (EU) 2016/17, which had previously authorised the United Kingdom to prohibit on its territory the marketing of the hemp variety Finola listed in the Common Catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species. The repeal is addressed to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and is grounded in Article 18 of Council Directive 2002/53/EC of 13 June 2002 on the common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species. The background to this Decision is as follows: Article 32(6) of Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013 provides that areas used for the production of hemp may only be eligible for support if the varieties used have a tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) content not exceeding 0,2 %. Article 45(3) of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 809/2014 requires a Member State to request authorisation to prohibit marketing of a hemp variety if the average THC content exceeds that threshold for a second consecutive year. The United Kingdom had made such a request on 28 April 2015 regarding the variety Finola. However, on 15 March 2016, the United Kingdom officially informed the Commission that further testing revealed the THC content for 2014 did not in fact exceed the 0,2 % threshold, and accordingly requested repeal of the original authorisation. The measures in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed.
