  33. Regulatory Aspects – Current Regulations SEEDS ACT, 1966 & SEED Rules, 1968 • Provide basic regulatory structure to ensure seed control in India. The Act provides for compulsory quality control and voluntary certification of seeds of any notified kind and variety and truthful labeling of seeds. The Act also created the various seed regulatory bodies and defined their functions & provided guidelines on minimum limits of germination and purity, regulation of the sale of seed, certification, etc. Seeds Control Order, 1983 (under the E C Act, 1955) • This order was issued under the Essential Commodities Act, 1955, and provided the procedure for registration of every person carrying on the business of selling, exporting or importing seeds of a notified kind or variety. New Policy on Seed Development, 1988 • This policy relaxed norms for the import of technology and parental material, and opened the doors to MNC seed companies. However, the policy allowed imports only if the foreign supplier supplies the parental line seeds or breeder seeds to the Indian company within two years of the first consignment. The Protection of Plant Varieties and Farmers‘ Rights Act (PPVFR), 2001. • It recognises the need to protect the plant breeder’s right so as to stimulate R&D in both the public and private sector. It defines the process for plant variety registration and also requires disclosure of the expected performance under given conditions. The Act gives the farmer the right to claim compensation if the seeds does not perform as expected. It also extends the breeders’ right to production, selling, marketing, distribution, export and import of seeds and/or propagating material of protected variety. The Protection of Plant Varieties and Farmers‘ Rights Act (PPVFR), 2001. • This policy laid down the foundation for comprehensive reforms. It included implementation of an effective sui generic system for intellectual property protection to stimulate investment in R&D of new plant varieties. The policy also acknowledged the need to adopt technology and protect the farmer from exploitation. The seeds sector has witnessed many changes since 1966 when the existing Seeds Act was passed. These include new technologies such as GM seeds and the entry of private and foreign seeds companies. In order to address these changes, the proposed Seeds Bill, 2004 seeks to replace the Seeds Act, 1966. The changes include regulation and registration of all seeds to be sold (instead of only notified kinds), provisions for self-certification and accreditation of private seed testing laboratories, and regulation of transgenic seeds.

  34. Regulatory Aspects – Seed Bill 2004 Certification & Registration of Seeds Registration of Seeds Consumer Protection Aim of the Bill Farmers’ Rights • The Bill aims to regulate the quality of seeds sold, and replaces the Seeds Act 1966 • Transgenic variety of seeds will still need clearance under the provisions of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 before being registered. A variety of seed containing any technology considered harmful or potentially harmful shall not be registered. • All varieties of seeds for sale (except those sold by farmers directly) have to be registered. The seeds are required to meet certain prescribed minimum standards • The Bill proposes to establish a Central Seed Committee CSC), which may appoint Sub‐Committees as needed. One of the subcommittees will be the Registration Sub Committee, which shall maintain a National Register of Seeds for all varieties of seed. • Every State Government will establish a State Seed Committee which will have an advisory role • The Bill protects the right of a farmer to save, use, exchange, • share or sell his farm seeds and planting material • However, the farmer cannot sell seeds or planting material under a brand name (if he does then they have to be registered) • Also, all seeds sold by farmers need to conform to the minimum standards regarding germination, physical purity and genetic purity applicable to registered seeds • For all registered varieties, seed producers, distributors and vendors have to disclose the expected performance under certain given conditions • If a registered variety of seeds fails to perform to expected standards, the farmer can claim compensation from the producer or dealer under the Consumer Protection Act, 1986 • The Bill permits self certification of seeds by accredited agencies and allows the central govt. to recognise certification by foreign seed certification agencies • Every seed producer and dealer, and horticulture nursery has to be registered with the State Government. The Seeds Bill was introduced in the RajyaSabha on 9 December 2004. Through registration and certification, the draft law seeks to promote quality seeds Source:
