Vegetable Vegetable Registration of Vegetable Varieties in the French CatalogueBefore a new variety can be placed on the market in France, it must be registered in the Official French Catalogue of species and varieties. The French Catalogue and Results for the Plant and Seed SectorsData acquired during the technical examinations for registration can also be widely used in other contexts. Plant Variety ProtectionA new variety can be protected by a specific intellectual property right, called a Plant Variety Right.
