Unlike in NACE Rev. 1, which attributes the production of nursery trees to forestry, this activity is treated as an agricultural activity in so far as it relates to the production of tree saplings and fruit-bearing shrubs, vines and ornamental shrubs, whereas the production of forest plants is treated as a forestry activity if the plants are intended for use in the production of forest trees(10).

If it is established that the cultivation of a variety included in the common catalogue of varieties could in any Member State be harmful from the point of view of plant health to the cultivation of other varieties or species, or present a risk for the environment or for human health, that Member State may upon application, be authorised in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 46(2) or in Article 46(3) in the case of a genetically modified variety to prohibit the marketing of the seed or propagating material of that variety in all or part of its territory.

(d) the planning and implementation of programmes providing alternatives to the illicit cultivation of narcotic plants in areas where such cultivation occurs.

The overall spread potential may vary considerably, depending on the species, the genetic modification and the receiving environment, for example plant cultivation in the desert or fish cultivation in the sea.

crop rotation (for example, cultivating the same plant species every year or every fourth year),

(41) Currently, support for energy crops consists of the possibility to grow industrial crops on set-aside land.

cell fusion (including protoplast fusion) of plant cells of organisms which can exchange genetic material through traditional breeding methods.

isolation in land agricultural and aquatic agricultural systems (for example, isolation distances in plant cultivation or quality of isolation in fish farms),

This could include changes in pesticide usage with respect to the cultivation of crop species modified for tolerance to herbicides and resistance to insects.

they are essential for the control of a harmful organism or a particular disease for which other biological, cultural, physical or plant breeding alternatives are not available, and

With respect to the description of manufacturing process and process controls for the herbal substance, information shall be provided to adequately describe the plant production and plant collection, including the geographical source of the medicinal plant and cultivation, harvesting, drying and storage conditions.

- inclusion of the production of wine and olive oil (exclusively using grapes and olives grown by the same holding), the growing of vegetable materials used for plaiting, Christmas trees, fruit trees, vines and ornamental nursery trees (which come under Division 02, Forestry),

Unlike in NACE Rev. 1, which attributes the production of nursery trees to forestry, this activity is treated as an agricultural activity in so far as it relates to the production of tree saplings and fruit- bearing shrubs, vines and ornamental shrubs, whereas the production of forest plants is treated as a forestry activity if the plants are intended for use in the production of forest trees fn.

In the fruit, vegetables, plants and floricultural sector, measures have been introduced to improve farm productivity and product quality, structure the production and distribution chains, develop local processed products and maintain certain traditional production (vanilla, essential oils, etc.), with a view to supporting the local marketing, processing and export sales of those products.

the growing of all types of commercial food crops, including for stock-rearing purposes;

cultivation of legumes, green manures or deep-rooting plants in an appropriate multi-annual rotation programme;

Currently, support for energy crops consists of the possibility to grow industrial crops on set-aside land.

cell fusion (including protoplast fusion) of cells from plants which can be produced by traditional breeding methods;

In addition, when the rearing of each batch of poultry has been completed, runs must be left empty to allow vegetation to grow back, and for health reasons.

cell fusion (including protoplast fusion) of plant cells of organisms which can exchange genetic material through traditional breeding methods.ANNEX II

Rearing systems for herbivores are to be based on maximum use of pasturage according to the availablity of pastures in the different periods of the year.

packing and binding materials, string and rope, cost of soil analysis, crop competition costs, plastic coverings (e.g. for strawberry growing), supplies for the preservation and processing of crops, storage and market preparation of crops done outside the farm, cost of marketing the crop products of the farm, sums paid for the purchase of marketable standing crops or to rent land for a period of less than one year to grow marketable crops, occasional purchases, complementary to the production of the holding, of crop products (e.g. grapes), processed on the holding, etc.

'Aquaculture production` means the output for final consumption, involving extensive or intensive culture techniques, and includes the production of aquatic plants for industrial purposes.

inclusion of the production of wine and olive oil (exclusively using grapes and olives grown by the same holding), the growing of vegetable materials used for plaiting, Christmas trees, fruit trees, vines and ornamental nursery trees (which come under Division 02, Forestry),

is not only a plant indispensable for the maintenance and conservation of soils, but one which makes it possible to develop land that will not bear other crops and which, even under non-intensive farming conditions, which account for the bulk of present production, responds favourably to any improvement in cultivation,

foods and food ingredients consisting of or isolated from plants and food ingredients isolated from animals, except for foods and food ingredients obtained by traditional propagating or breeding practices and having a history of safe food use;

products in the unprocessed state or having undergone only simple preparation such as milling, drying or pressing, derived from plants, but excluding plants themselves as defined in point 6; 'harmful organisms' pests of plants or plant products belonging to the animal or plant kingdom, and also viruses, bacteria and mycoplasmas and other pathogens; 'animals' animals belonging to species normally fed and kept or consumed by man; 'placing on the market' any supply, whether in return for payment or free of charge, other than for storage followed by consignment from the territory of the Community or disposal. Importation of a plant protection product into the territory of the Community shall be deemed to constitute placing on the market for the purposes of this Directive; 'authorization of a plant protection product' administrative act by which the competent authority of a Member State authorizes, following an application submitted by an applicant, the placing on the market of a plant protection product in its territory or in a part thereof; 'environment' water, air, land, wild species of fauna and flora, and any interrelationship between them, as well as any relationship with living organisms; 'integrated control' the rational application of a combination of biological, biotechnological, chemical, cultural or plant-breeding measures whereby the use of chemical plant protection products is limited to the strict minimum necessary to maintain the pest population at levels below those causing economically unacceptable damage or loss. General provisions

they are essential for the control of a harmful organism or a particular disease for which other biological, cultural, physical or plant breeding alternatives are not available, and - the conditions for their use preclude any direct contact with the seed, the crop or crop products;

Unlike in NACE Rev. 1, which attributes the production of nursery trees to forestry, this activity is treated as an agricultural activity in so far as it relates to the production of tree saplings and fruit-bearing shrubs, vines and ornamental shrubs, whereas the production of forest plants is treated as a forestry activity if the plants are intended for use in the production of forest trees(10).

In the interest of conserving plant genetic resources used in forestry as specified in specific conditions which shall be established in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 26(3) to take account of developments in relation to the conservation in situ and the sustainable use of plant genetic resources through growing and marketing of forestry reproductive material of origin which are naturally adapted to the local and regional conditions and threatened by genetic erosion, the Member States may depart from the requirements as laid down in paragraph 2 and Annexes II, III, IV and V insofar as specific conditions are established in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 26(3).
