Breeders are facing difficulties when enforcing their Community and national plant variety rights (PVRs). An important reason for this phenomenon is the insufficient knowledge of the applicable legislation amongst breeders, lawyers, prosecutors and judges. For this reason, the Community Plant Variety Office, in close co-operation with the breeders` organizations decided to organize seminars about the issue in places such as Brussels, Warsaw, Madrid, Athens and Hamburg. This event will be held on May 30, 2013, in Rome, Italy.
