(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Seeds (Fees) Regulations 1985, by prescribing revised fees in respect of matters arising under the Cereal Seeds Regulations 1985 (as amended), the Fodder Plant Seeds Regulations 1985 (as amended), the Oil and Fibre Plant Seeds Regulations 1985 (as amended), the Beet Seeds Regulations 1985 (as amended), the Vegetable Seeds Regulations 1985 (as amended) and the Seeds (Registration, Licensing and Enforcement) Regulations 1985 (as amended) (regulation 2).
The matters in respect of which the revised fees are prescribed are listed in the Schedule to these Regulations, and the fees which were chargeable before these Regulations came into force are printed in italics beside the revised fees.
The range of increases lies, for the most part, between 2.0 per cent and 3.8 per cent, with one rising by 5 per cent. The other exception is the crop inspection fee. This is payable only in association with other fees which have not been increased. The inspection fee alone increases by 11 per cent, but the effect when combined with the other fees is a global increase of between 2.2 per cent and 4.5 per cent.
1964 c. 14; section 16 was amended by the European Communities Act 1972 (c. 68), section 4(1) and paragraph 5(1), (2) and (3) of Schedule 4; see section 38(1) (as amended by S.I. 1978/272) for the definition of "the Ministers".
