Northern Ireland updates plant-health and seed-potato (Solanum tuberosum) legislation

Potato (Solanum tuberosum)

The UK Parliament considered technical amendments covering Northern Ireland plant health, seeds, seed potatoes (Solanum tuberosum) and propagating material. The debate noted that the Windsor Framework permits seed potatoes (Solanum tuberosum) to move from Great Britain to Northern Ireland for growing, while the instrument updates domestic references and EU-aligned biosecurity controls.
