Paragraph 7
Paragraph 7
7. Considers that marketing standards still retain an important role in the production chain, and consequently they should be kept; they render transparent the changes on the market and allow purchasers to compare prices, sizes and quality of products and ensure a level playing-field in European competition; considers also that quality standards should include criteria specific to 'population' seeds and 'traditional, small-scale farming and on- site conservation' breeds forming part of our arable and animal biodiversity, which account for an increasing proportion of consumer demand;
