New plant health legislation in Finland
Finland has issued a new Plant Material Law and Statute concerning plant material for further cultivation in Finland. The Plant Material Law concerns nursery stock plants, ornamentals and vegetables for further cultivation in commercial production and has the purpose to promote the supply of healthy, high-quality plant material of horticultural plants suited to Finnish growing conditions and the provisions of sufficient information about plants to those who buy or otherwise utilize them.
The new Plant Material Law (663/91) came into force on 1992-04-01 and applies to the sale and importation of horticultural plant material and to the production of such for trading purposes.
