"Through this report, Parliament has approved the European Commission proposal to amend the Council decision as regards the inclusion of forest reproductive material of the ‘qualified’ category and the updating of the name of the authorities responsible for the approval and control of the production. The Council decision determines the conditions under which forest reproductive material of the ‘source identified’, ‘selected’ and ‘qualified’ categories may be imported into the Union. The aim of this updating is to facilitate trade in this forest material, in particular for fast growing tree plantations intended for energy/biomass production, which is the aspect giving us the most cause for concern. The Commission’s intention to include forest and agricultural plants and seeds in just one directive is viewed by sector organisations as a further obstacle to their development. For that reason, we have already alerted the Commission to the consequences of applying this legislation to national operators in the sector. The requirements imposed on agricultural material cannot and must not be the same as those imposed on forest material, as it is natural for agricultural material to have completely different rules, due to being part of the food chain. These amendments will not protect small producers and are in fact a reason for increased concern."@en1
