These Regulations, which come into force on 1st July 1999, amend the Seeds (Fees) Regulations 1985 (as amended). They prescribe revised fees in respect of matters arising under the Cereal Seeds Regulations 1993 (as amended), the Fodder Plant Seeds Regulations 1993 (as amended), the Oil and Fibre Plant Seeds Regulations 1993 (as amended), the Beet Seeds Regulations 1993 (as amended), the Vegetable Seeds Regulations 1993 (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 tests on soya bean seeds set out in Schedule 3 paragraph D and the seed lot re-entry fees in Schedules 1 to 5 are new.
The fee payable by a License Seed Testing Station in respect of an official examination of seed has been increased from £4.65 to £8.75. All other fees have been increased by 5 per cent. rounded to the nearest five pence except in the case of the annual fee for Licensed Seed Testing Stations which has been rounded to the nearest £1.
