&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;It has not included the clause on price regulation of seeds&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The Union Cabinet on Wednesday approved additional amendments to the Seeds Bill. 2004.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The amendments 
however did not include the clause on price regulation of seeds that is 
being demanded by members of Parliament who have moved amendments to the
Bill that may be introduced in this session. They wanted a regulatory 
mechanism on pricing of seeds so that seeds were available to farmers at
affordable price and not left to &amp;ldquo;market forces.&amp;rdquo; This proposed 
amendment has not been accepted by the government.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;On the demand of the 
MPs and civil society groups, the government has approved an amendment 
to raise the maximum penalty for &amp;ldquo;misrepresentation/ or suppression of 
facts, procedural violation or non-performance of the seeds &amp;ldquo;without 
intention&amp;rdquo; to one year and Rs. 5 lakh. There was a provision for 
cancellation of registration as well, official sources told The Hindu.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The additional 
amendments also provide for nomination on the proposed National Seed 
Committee of the chairpersons of the Protection of Plant Varieties and 
Farmers&#039; Rights Authority and the National Bio-diversity Authority.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Another amendment okayed relates to submission of seed certification copy and periodic returns to the State government.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The amended Seeds 
Bill, 2010, seeks to regulate the quality of seeds and planting 
material, to curb the sale of spurious and poor quality seeds, increase 
private participation in seed production and distribution and liberalise
import of seeds and planting materials.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The Bill that seeks 
to repeal and replace the existing Seeds Act, 1966, also has a provision
that no transgenic variety of seed would be registered unless cleared 
under the provisions of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986. Such 
seeds would have to be labelled and conform to specific standards. &lt;br /&gt;

affordable price and not left to &amp;ldquo;market forces.&amp;rdquo; This proposed

&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;On the demand of the

intention&amp;rdquo; to one year and Rs. 5 lakh. There was a provision for

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The Union Cabinet on Wednesday approved additional amendments to the Seeds Bill. 2004.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The amendments 
however did not include the clause on price regulation of seeds that is 
being demanded by members of Parliament who have moved amendments to the
Bill that may be introduced in this session. They wanted a regulatory 
mechanism on pricing of seeds so that seeds were available to farmers at
affordable price and not left to &amp;ldquo;market forces.&amp;rdquo; This proposed 
amendment has not been accepted by the government.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;On the demand of the 
MPs and civil society groups, the government has approved an amendment 
to raise the maximum penalty for &amp;ldquo;misrepresentation/ or suppression of 
facts, procedural violation or non-performance of the seeds &amp;ldquo;without 
intention&amp;rdquo; to one year and Rs. 5 lakh. There was a provision for 
cancellation of registration as well, official sources told The Hindu.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The additional 
amendments also provide for nomination on the proposed National Seed 
Committee of the chairpersons of the Protection of Plant Varieties and 
Farmers&#039; Rights Authority and the National Bio-diversity Authority.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Another amendment okayed relates to submission of seed certification copy and periodic returns to the State government.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The amended Seeds 
Bill, 2010, seeks to regulate the quality of seeds and planting 
material, to curb the sale of spurious and poor quality seeds, increase 
private participation in seed production and distribution and liberalise
import of seeds and planting materials.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The Bill that seeks 
to repeal and replace the existing Seeds Act, 1966, also has a provision
that no transgenic variety of seed would be registered unless cleared 
under the provisions of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986. Such 
seeds would have to be labelled and conform to specific standards. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The Union Cabinet on Wednesday approved additional amendments to the Seeds Bill. 2004.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The amendments 
however did not include the clause on price regulation of seeds that is 
being demanded by members of Parliament who have moved amendments to the
Bill that may be introduced in this session. They wanted a regulatory 
mechanism on pricing of seeds so that seeds were available to farmers at
affordable price and not left to &amp;ldquo;market forces.&amp;rdquo; This proposed 
amendment has not been accepted by the government.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;On the demand of the 
MPs and civil society groups, the government has approved an amendment 
to raise the maximum penalty for &amp;ldquo;misrepresentation/ or suppression of 
facts, procedural violation or non-performance of the seeds &amp;ldquo;without 
intention&amp;rdquo; to one year and Rs. 5 lakh. There was a provision for 
cancellation of registration as well, official sources told The Hindu.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The additional 
amendments also provide for nomination on the proposed National Seed 
Committee of the chairpersons of the Protection of Plant Varieties and 
Farmers&#039; Rights Authority and the National Bio-diversity Authority.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Another amendment okayed relates to submission of seed certification copy and periodic returns to the State government.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The amended Seeds 
Bill, 2010, seeks to regulate the quality of seeds and planting 
material, to curb the sale of spurious and poor quality seeds, increase 
private participation in seed production and distribution and liberalise
import of seeds and planting materials.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The Bill that seeks 
to repeal and replace the existing Seeds Act, 1966, also has a provision
that no transgenic variety of seed would be registered unless cleared 
under the provisions of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986. Such 
seeds would have to be labelled and conform to specific standards. &lt;br /&gt;
