THE ACT

ON AMENDMENTS TO THE PLANT VARIETY PROTECTION ACT

Article 1

In the Plant Variety Protection Act (Official Gazette 131/97, 62/00 and 67/08), in Article 1, a

new paragraph 2 is added which reads:

“(2) This Act contains the provisions aligned with the following legislation of the European

Union: Council Regulation (EC) No 2100/94 of 27 July 1994 on Community plant variety rights

(SL L 227, 1. 9. 1994).”

Article 2

After Article 12a, a new Article 12b is added which reads:

“Article 12b

(1) Plant breeder's right shall not be violated in cases where harvested material of the

protected variety for certain plant species, which the farmer obtained by planting on his own

holding, is used for propagating purposes on his own agricultural holding.

(2) A farmer who realises the possibility referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article shall pay an

equitable remuneration to the holder of plant breeder's right, which is lower than the licence

paid by the seed producer.

(3) A farmer who realises the possibility referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article shall, on

request by the holder of the plant breeder's right, submit information on the sawn/planted

areas.

(4) Small farmers shall not be required to pay any remuneration in respect of the possibilities

laid down in paragraph 1 of this Article.

(5) The Minister shall stipulate the criteria for determining small farmers of the plant species to

which the provision of paragraph 1 of this Article applies.

material.“
