Suppliers will have to indicate in
this database next to each variety whether it is available
or not available.
Only in such cases where growers can
prove that they are also not able to obtain similar
varieties organically will they obtain an exemption to use
untreated conventional seeds.
These exemptions will be given for
one sowing only, and the next time the control and
application system will review again.
This also gives the seed companies
the opportunity to produce the required organic seeds in
time for the next sowing.
Over time, demand and supply will be
better organized and fewer exceptions will be necessary.
