Recital 27 a (new)
Recital 27 a (new)
(27 a) Furthermore, existing exceptions from the requirement of a plant passport, for direct supply to final users, under Article 81, should also apply in cases where the purpose of sale is for conservation. For purpose of conservation, seed is often shared at no profit to the sharer, or at cost-recovery pricing, and such transactions occur at small volumes. Seed conservation often happens in a decentralised way, and, rather than in monocultures, it is usually undertaken in agroecological systems with a high diversity of plants and (beneficial) animals, with seeds often shared in a limited local or regional context. This context has a reduced risk of pests and risk of spread of pests. In this case, the exception should apply regardless of the means of sale, including where the sale is made by distance selling.
