Regulatory hell EU edition

Hi all,

I guess most international seed trading is already in /unintended
/underground - seeds are mostly small if you're not growing coconuts,
travel with ordinary letter post and unless there's a big print from the
seed company on it, how could inspectors identify the envelopes? This
may actually be one of the reasons for all of that non- information:
regulators had no dependable numbers on how much small package seed is
traveling around, and sellers and customers have only a small chance to
actually run into trouble. I have a feeling this unsatisfying situation
will continue for quite a while, mostly punishing those who want to
comply and leaving most of the others unscathed. Indeed unsatisfying to
say the least.

This is also being discussed on the SRGC forum http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=17539.0 <http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=17539.0>

I think the bottom line is nobody knows what the hell is going on in regard to plant societies and small nurseries. It seems to be a real mess.

I just hope it doesn’t completely quash international trade of seed. Of course it may just drive it underground.
