Re: [DIYbio] New EU seed law, is it as bad as media makes it sound?

furthermore, plant

reproductive material exchanged in kind

between two persons other than professional

operators is excluded from the scope of

the Regulation

Also, from everything I gather, it is, here are approved species that can be mass sold, with proper labeling.  Any species not on this list must be submitted for heath testing and registration before being sold.

I...  fail to see the issue.

that is what I read. Is this hype because the govt is grand-fathering
all existing varieties or something (that would make some sense I
guess)?

The actual law (or is it just a proposal):
