On 22 July 2026, the Council of the European Union published a corrigendum correcting the Greek language version of Council Directive 2002/53/EC on the common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species. The correction replaces the phrase "καλλιεργητικής αξίας και της χρησιμότητας" (cultivation value and usefulness) with "αξίας καλλιέργειας και χρήσης" (value for cultivation and use) in recital 6 and Articles 4(1), 4(2), 4(2)(b), 7(2)(c), and 7(2)(c) fourth indent. Additionally, a spelling error in Article 4(1) is corrected by replacing "επαρχώς" with "επαρκώς" (sufficiently). The corrigendum, classified as an obvious error in one language version, follows Procedure 2(b) under the Council's rules. Member States have eight days from publication to submit observations to the Directorate Quality of Legislation of the Council's Legal Service. The directive, originally adopted on 13 June 2002 and published in the Official Journal on 20 July 2002, establishes a common catalogue of agricultural plant varieties that are eligible for marketing within the EU. The correction ensures terminological consistency with other language versions and does not alter the substantive provisions of the directive. No prior coverage of this file exists in the available record.
