The Forest Reproductive Material (Great Britain) Regulations provide a system of control for seed, cuttings and planting stock that is used for forestry purposes in Great Britain. This ensures that planting stock is traceable throughout the collection and production process to a registered source of Basic Material. In addition, it provides information on the genetic quality of the stock. The Regulations implement a European Directive controlling the marketing of Forest Reproductive Material within the EU and have been in force since 1 January 2003.
