Seed Marketing (Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2013 (W.S.I. No. 889 (W. 101) of 2013)

W E L S H S TAT U T O RY I N S T R U M E N T S 2013 No. 889 (W. 101) SEEDS, WALES The Seed Marketing (Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2013 EXPLANATORY NOTE (This note is not part of the Regulations) These Regulations amend the Seed Marketing (Wales) Regulations 2012 (S.I. 2012/245) ("the principal Regulations"). Regulation 3 adds Council Decision 2003/17/EC on the equivalence of field inspections carried out in third countries on seed-producing crops and on the equivalence of seed produced in third countries (OJ No L 8, 14.1.2003, p. 10) to the list of EU instruments in respect of which references in the principal Regulations are to be construed as references to those instruments as amended from time to time. Regulation 4 allows the Welsh Ministers to license exemptions for temporary experiments organised under any of the five European Directives on the marketing of, respectively, beet seed, cereal seed, fodder plant seed, seed of oil and fibre plants and vegetable seed. Other provisions of these Directives are already implemented (in relation to Wales) by the principal Regulations. The Welsh Ministers' Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. As a result it was not considered necessary to carry out a regulatory impact assessment as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with these Regulations.

Mae rheoliad 3 yn ychwanegu Penderfyniad y Cyngor 2003/17/EC ar gywerthedd archwiliadau maes a gyflawnir mewn trydydd gwledydd ar gnydau sy'n cynhyrchu hadau ac ar gywerthedd hadau a gynhyrchir mewn trydydd gwledydd (OJ Rhif L 8, 14.1.2003, t. 10) at y rhestr o offerynnau'r UE y mae'r cyfeiriadau yn y prif Reoliadau i'w dehongli fel cyfeiriadau at yr offerynnau hynny fel y'u diwygir o bryd i'w gilydd. Mae rheoliad 4 yn caniatáu i Weinidogion Cymru drwyddedu esemptiadau ar gyfer arbrofion dros dro a drefnir o dan unrhyw un neu ragor o'r pum Cyfarwyddeb Ewropeaidd ar farchnata hadau betys, hadau ŷd, hadau planhigion porthiant, hadau planhigion olew a ffibr a hadau llysiau, yn y drefn honno. Mae darpariaethau eraill y Cyfarwyddebau hyn eisoes yn cael eu gweithredu (o ran Cymru) gan y prif Reoliadau. Ystyriwyd Cod Ymarfer Gweinidogion Cymru ar wneud Asesiadau Effaith Rheoleiddiol mewn perthynas â'r Rheoliadau hyn. O ganlyniad, ystyriwyd nad oedd yn angenrheidiol gwneud asesiad effaith rheoleiddiol o ran costau a manteision tebygol cydymffurfio â'r Rheoliadau hyn.

Mae'r Rheoliadau hyn yn gwneud darpariaeth at ddiben a grybwyllir yn adran 2(2) o Ddeddf y Cymunedau Ewropeaidd 1972(3) ac mae'n ymddangos i Weinidogion Cymru ei bod yn hwylus dehongli'r cyfeiriad yn y Rheoliadau hyn at Benderfyniad y Cyngor 2003/17/EC ar gywerthedd archwiliadau maes a gyflawnir mewn trydydd gwledydd ar gnydau sy'n cynhyrchu hadau ac ar gywerthedd hadau a gynhyrchir mewn trydydd gwledydd(4) fel cyfeiriad at y Penderfyniad hwnnw fel y'i diwygir o bryd i'w gilydd.

These Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972(3) and it appears to the Welsh Ministers that it is expedient for the reference in these Regulations to Council Decision 2003/17/EC on the equivalence of field inspections carried out in third countries on seed-producing crops and on the equivalence of seed produced in third countries(4) to be construed as a reference to that Decision as amended from time to time.
