(2) The propagating material referred to in paragraph 1 (a) to (f) may be put into circulation provided that the quality, identity and variety requirements and other characteristics relevant for the use of propagating material (hereinafter referred to as "properties") laid down in the implementing legislation are met. The propagating material referred to in paragraph 1 (g) may be put into circulation if the requirements of Commission Regulation (EU) 2021 / 1189 are met.

(3) Propagating material of agricultural species and vegetables may only be put into circulation if it belongs to a registered variety or variety included in a common catalogue of varieties or if it belongs to an organic heterogeneous material notified by the Constitution pursuant to Article 13 of Regulation (EU) 2018 / 848 of the European Parliament and of the Council.

(5) The seed in the categories of pre-stage propagating material, basic propagating material and certified propagating material may only be put into circulation when the limits for the presence of harmful organisms laid down in the implementing legislation are not exceeded. Seed of species for which no limit on the presence of harmful organisms is established may be put into circulation uncontaminated.

(6) Pre-stage propagating material may also be produced from pre-stage propagating material for a specified number of generations. The implementing legislation sets out the number of generations for each plant species.

(7) The basic propagating material of agricultural species, hops and fruit genera and species may be produced from pre-basic propagating material or basic propagating material for a specified number of generations.

(9) A supplier who puts into circulation pre-stage propagating material, basic propagating material and certified propagating material of fruit genera and species and propagating material of vine and hops other than the final consumer is required to issue under the supervision of the Institute a document which must comply with the requirements laid down in the Decree. This document shall be used together with the label to indicate the different varieties or types of propagating material which are marketed together. Where the particulars on the document conflict with those on the label, the particulars on the label shall always prevail.

(10) The seed of agricultural and vegetable species in the categories of pre-stage propagating material and basic propagating material may be put into circulation with a germination capacity up to 10% lower than that laid down in the implementing legislation. The supplier shall indicate on the separate label the value of germination, the lot number and, for a natural person, the name, surname or business name (4), the place of residence or residence (4a), and the place of business of the supplier, if different from the place of residence or residence (4a); if it is a legal person, a business firm, a registered office, or the location of an organisational component in the Czech Republic. At the same time, the supplier shall indicate on the official label that the seed in question does not comply with the germination requirements laid down in the implementing legislation. For seed intended for circulation to the final consumer in the Czech Republic, the supplier may indicate the reduced germination capacity on the accompanying document. The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to seed imported from third countries, except seed certified in accordance with Paragraph 4 (13).

(11) Garlic seed may only be put into circulation if breeding material, pre-stage propagating material, basic propagating material, certified propagating material or, as regards the category of standard seed or organic heterogeneous material, has been recognised in the categories.

(12) A supplier who places into circulation conformal propagating material of fruit genera and species or propagating material of fruit genera and species referred to in Article 3d other than to the final consumer shall be required to issue a document for such propagating material which shall contain the information provided for in the decree for this document. This document shall be indelibly printed in one of the official languages of the European Union and shall be easily visible and legible.

(13) In the case of the putting into circulation of conformal propagating material or fruit-fruit material of the species referred to in Article 3d to the final consumer, the particulars of the supplier's document referred to in Article 3 (12) may be limited to the particulars laid down in the decree.

If the Institute approves such another area, the variety maintenance shall keep for the conservation of the variety in its region of origin such a quantity of seed as provided for in the implementing legislation. Where an additional seed production area referred to in paragraph 1 has been approved, the Institute for the variety in question shall not approve another seed production area under this paragraph.

The supplier who produces propagating material shall notify the Constitution of the size and location of the propagation crop of the conservation variety before the beginning of each growing season. Where those notifications show that the maximum permitted quantity of seed determined in accordance with the first sentence will be exceeded, the Institute shall allocate to each participating supplier producing propagating material the quantity of seed which may be put into circulation during the relevant growing season in proportion to the quantity initially requested by the supplier and at a maximum quantity equal to the maximum quantity determined in accordance with this paragraph. The supplier shall report to the Institute for each growing season the quantity of seed of each conservation variety put into circulation.

(5) The seed packages put into circulation shall be sealed by the supplier in such a way that the packaging cannot be opened without damaging the sealing system or leaving traces of disturbance on the supplier's label or on the packaging.
