Applying for prolongation if there is a representative
Possibility to apply for prolongation (renewal of registration of a vegetable or agricultural variety) when there is a representative. This year, varieties registered in 2008, 2009 and 2015 can apply for prlongation. This also applies to all varieties of potato and sugar beet registered before 2015.
Applying for prolongation if there is a representative
The maintainer of a variety is responsible for prolongation. In September, the Board for plant varieties notifies the maintainers of varieties eligible for prolongation. If a variety is not applied for prolongation, the variety will be deleted from the national variety register and the EU Common Catalogue. Trade is then no longer possible.
A maintainer can have prolongation applied for by a representative.
As a grower/maintainer, you receive the invitation for prolongation. But if you have a representative, please contact that person/company. They can then apply for prolongation on your behalf.
Are you or your organisation a representative of varieties eligible for re-registration?
If so, please contact the breeder/maintainer of the variety so that you as the representative can submit the application.
Please note: the maintainer is responsible for applying for prolongation at all times. Publications on the admission years eligible for prolongation will appear on the website of the Board for plant varieties and in the Gazette around September. More information on re-registration can be found on the website of the Board for plant varieties.
