Plant Protection
Granted to Israel
by U.S. Ruling

WASHINGTON — Is-
raeli plant breeders have
been granted the right to
apply for U.S. certificates of
protection for new varieties
of field crops and flowers
that they develop.
An amendment to regula-
tions under the Plant Vari-
ety Protection (PVP) Act
grants Israeli citizens the
right to apply, for U.S. De-
partment of Agriculture
(USDA) certificates that
offer them exclusive control
over the new plant varities
they develop for a period of
15 years.
To be granted reciprocity
limits, the plant protection
law of a country must first
undergo a review by plant
experts in USDA's Agricul-
tural Marketing Service
(AMS). AMS Administrator
Barbara Lindemann Schlei
said Israel 'is one of five
countries that has so far
passed that test.
With a U.S. certificate an
Israeli plant breeder can
sell the seed of his protected
variety in the United States
and enjoy the same protec-
tion afforded U.S. breeders
in Israel.
