In January 2024, we issued a formal request to holders of Retained EU Plant Variety Rights to provide an address for service in the UK or details of a UK agent. This information is legally required by the Controller of the Plant Variety Rights Office. 

Please see this letter, also available in Welsh, for further information.

Please also see Annex 1, Annex 2 and Annex 3.

If you do not provide an address for service in the UK or details of a UK agent, your Retained EU Plant Variety Right(s) may be at risk of termination in the future.

If you have any queries please email pvs.helpdesk@apha.gov.uk with the Holder of Rights and the EU
grant number/s that your query relates to (you can find these numbers in column A on the spreadsheet in
section 2) in the subject heading.
