What EU Common Catalogue of Varieties of Agricultural Plant Species Directive 2002/53/EC requires
EU Directive 2002/53/EC establishes the EU Common Catalogue of Varieties of Agricultural Plant Species which lists all varieties of agricultural plant species (cereals fodder plants oil and fibre plants beet potatoes etc.) whose seeds and propagating material may be marketed in the EU. Varieties must be registered in at least one Member State catalogue based on DUS (distinct uniform stable) and VCU (value for cultivation and use) tests before entry to the Common Catalogue. The 2024 Plant Reproductive Material Regulation proposal would modernise and unify the eight seeds and propagating material directives into a single framework but Directive 2002/53/EC remains in force pending adoption.
