According to various sources the EU Commission has not been able to present a revised text of it`s draft Seed Directive so far, due to internal disagreements. Is appears unclear by when the Commission will finalise it`s draft. However it is clear that the vote, which had been envisaged for the 27th of September will not take place. Member states have requested an examination period of one month after the text has been transmitted. No new date has be set for the vote so far.
