Euroseeds
Technical Manager Plant Health and Seed Trade
to join the Euroseeds General Secretariat’s team in Brussels, Belgium.
**Background**
The continuously increasing international movement of plant breeding material and commercial
seed requires internationally aligned and practical plant health and seed trade regulations. These
are precondition for seed companies to work efficiently and fully exploit the advantages of
counter-seasonal breeding and seed production and supply markets worldwide.
The European Union’s own comprehensive legal framework for Plant Health and Seed Trade shall
support such international alignment, as well as the free movement of goods within the Internal
Market while protecting Europe from phytosanitary risks.
Both policy areas require constant monitoring and early intervention with high level expertise.
**About Euroseeds**
Euroseeds is the voice of the European seed sector, representing the interests of those active in
research, breeding, production and marketing of seeds of agricultural, horticultural and
ornamental plant species. With more than 36 national member associations from EU Members
States and beyond, Euroseeds represents several thousand seed businesses, as well 67 direct
company members, including from seed related industries.
