No less a gardener than Prince Charles (of England) does not like the EU seed marketing legislation, and admits that he could be considered a criminal for saving and distributing unregistered varieties. I have not seen any comments from him on the proposals for the future. But his opinion carries not the slightest bit of weight with the regulators, I promise. I wonder whether he has seen my own modest proposal? Probably not.
(Oooh, but the things I could tell you …)
