Vol. 249 No. 14

Ceisteanna—Questious. Oral Answers. - Seed and Plant Breeders.

23.

asked the Minister for Agriculture and Fisheries if legislation is contemplated on breeders rights on seeds and plants used in agriculture and horticulture.

Consideration is at present being given in my Department to the question of our entering into reciprocal arrangements with certain other countries, the object of which would be to afford international protection to the rights of seed and plant breeders in the countries concerned. If such a course is decided upon, legislation would be necessary to implement the arrangement.
