"Mr President, I have found a place for this proposal, and it is on my compost heap, where it needs to go and rot. Diversity of garden plants should be cherished and championed, not regulated and restricted. As a gardener, I say we need our lupins, our lavenders, our dahlias and our day lilies. Gardeners in the UK can choose from over 50[nbsp ]000 different varieties of plants, and we must not have a system that is so costly that our choices will be cut down. Horticulture is not a hobby: it is also worth over nine billion to the UK economy alone.
Registering each one of these plants would cost a company over GBP[nbsp ]300, and we cannot have it. We have tried to change the law, to make it less damaging, but actually it is completely unnecessary. It is unwanted; it does not help the consumer; it does not help the industry. Let us dig it up and shred it!"@en1
