NEW APPROACHES TO THE FORMATION OF THE STATE REGISTER OF BREEDING ACHIEVEMENTS APPROVED FOR USE

The results of the analysis of the industry discussion on the formation and maintenance of the State register of breeding achievements approved for use are presented. Currently, there are several points of view on the need  for this registry. The first one, which is related to the diversity of crop cultivation conditions on the territory of the Russian Federation, reflects the position of the Ministry of agriculture of Russia and State scientific institutions. The second one, which is related to excessive administrative barriers that may lead to unjustified costs for business community participants and will not contribute to achieving socially useful results, reflects the position of the Ministry of economic development of Russia. The third, related to the need to change the paradigm of state regulation in the field of breeding and seed production, reflects the position of business representatives. Legal gaps in the legislation of the Russian Federation are reflected in relation to the formation and maintenance of the State register of selection achievements allowed for use. There is a list of legal documents provided for by the draft Federal law “On seed production”, which will form the legal basis for the formation and maintenance of the State register of breeding achievements approved for use, and will provide a systematic approach to the development of breeding and seed production in the Russian Federation. New approaches to the formation and maintenance of the State register of breeding achievements approved for use in the framework of the draft Federal law “On seed production” are described, as well as issues related to the fee for consideration of the request for inclusion of information about a variety or hybrid in the State register of breeding achievements approved for use. Approaches to the formation of a list of genera and species of agricultural plants are proposed, according to which the inclusion of information about varieties or hybrids in the specified register is mandatory.
