Croatia | The new Seed Act provides a more secure material identity and better import controls

The main goal of the new Seed Act is to regulate the production, placing on the market and import of agricultural reproductive material, determine the competence of individual bodies in business, inspection, as well as other issues relevant to the implementation of a single system of agricultural seed and nursery.   

The current Seed Act, passed in 2005, with the accession of the Republic of Croatia to the EU and the new Plant Health Regulation (EU) 2016/2031, and the growing internet trade, can no longer monitor the production and trade of agricultural reproductive material.
