Summary

The dossier is a proposed Regulation extending the term of Community plant variety rights for the species asparagus and the species groups flower bulbs, woody small fruits and woody ornamentals. The amendments would extend the term of the rights concerned by five years and introduce a derogation allowing farmers to use the product of the harvest for propagation; they reference balancing the breeder's work with the farmer's freedom.

In plenary, Parliament usually votes in steps: first on amendments to the text (sometimes split into parts, so Members can accept one half of a sentence and reject the other), then on the text as a whole. The “main vote” is the one that adopts or rejects the text itself. Each vote below shows exactly which step it was. How voting works →
