During the official inspections that took place at the Arena Market in Győr, the Pet Market in Újfehértó and Iregszemcsé, the inspectors determined that a significant part of the propagating materials on the markets do not comply with the LII of 2003. the provisions of the law. This law provides for the state recognition of plant varieties, as well as the production and marketing of propagating materials.
Due to non-compliance, some of the propagating material was destroyed on site, while another part was locked up
In Újfehértó, in the case of fruit grafts, 350 raspberry trees, 100 blackcurrant trees, 15 common sycamore trees, and a smaller amount of peach, plum, cherry and apple trees were destroyed. The reason for the destruction was primarily the lack of a label or a plant passport, as well as unverified origin. In several cases, the species identity of the plants offered for sale turned out to be questionable.
