Orden por la que se modifica la Orden de 28 de octubre de 1994 por la que se aprueba el Reglamento Técnico de Control de la Producción y Comercialización de Plantones de Hortalizas y Material de Multiplicación de Hortalizas distinto de las semillas (Order amending the Order of 28 October 1994 approving the Technical Regulations for the control of the production and marketing of vegetable propagating and planting material, other than seed)

There is a need to establish legal requirements to promote the quality of saffron and the official control to ensure compliance with such requirements. As a result, the Order of 28 October 1994 approving the Technical Regulations for the control of the production and marketing of vegetable propagating and planting material, other than seed, needs to be amended to include saffron. The text is being updated at the same time. It is vital to regulate the control of the production and marketing of plant material used to propagate saffron, so that it meets the necessary quality and health requirements. To that end, the current Technical Regulations for the control of the production and marketing of vegetable propagating and planting material, other than seed, need to be amended to include this species.
