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.
