C/47/6 page 2 INTRODUCTION 1. The 1978 Act of the International Convention for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants is applicable, according to its Article 4(1), to all botanical genera and species. Its Article 4(2) provides that “the member States of the Union undertake to adopt all measures necessary for the progressive application of the provisions of this Convention to the largest possible number of botanical genera and species.” The 1991 Act of the Convention provides in its Article 3 that “each Contracting Party which is bound by the Act of 1961/1972 or the Act of 1978 shall apply the provisions of this Convention, (i) at the date on which it becomes bound by this Convention, to all plant genera and species to which it applies, on the said date, the provisions of the Act of 1961/1972 or the Act of 1978 and, (ii) at the latest by the expiration of a period of five years after the said date, to all plant genera and species,” and that “each Contracting Party which is not bound by the Act of 1961/1972 or the Act of 1978 shall apply the provisions of this Convention, (i) at the date on which it becomes bound by this Convention, to at least 15 plant genera or species and, (ii) at the latest by the expiration of a period of 10 years from the said date, to all plant genera and species.” 2. This document surveys the measures for the protection of the various taxa 1 that have been instituted by the members of the Union. It also contains additional information which may be useful in the context of this document. 3. This document contains: - the main table; - notes classified by members of the Union. 4. The main table presents the list of taxa protected by those members of the Union which do not protect all plant genera and species. 5. The main table does not contain the following members of the Union, which protect the whole or essentially the whole plant kingdom: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belarus, Bolivia (Plurinational State of), Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Estonia, European Union, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Norway, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Republic of Korea, Republic of Moldova, Romania, Russian Federation, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Tunisia, Ukraine, United Kingdom, United States of America and Uruguay. Details on the situation in those authorities are given in the notes classified by members of the Union. 6. The taxa are listed in the alphabetical order of their respective UPOV Code. 7. The drawing up of the synoptical list of taxa has led to some departures from the relevant laws and regulations, in particular because nomenclatures used are not uniform. It is recommended to consult these laws and regulations when precise information is needed. 8. The notes classified by members of the Union follow the alphabetical order of the ISO codes applicable to countries and organizations (see the list on page 4). The following will be found therein, wherever it has appeared necessary: (a) general notes relating in particular to the way in which the list of protected taxa has been established; (b) special notes relating to a specific taxon. 1 The expression “protected taxon” and the similar expressions mean that titles of protection may be issued for varieties of the taxon concerned.
