From this it will be seen that the information that could be provided if all the items were filled in, is extremely comprehensive and exceeds the basic information required under the EU Directive 1999/105. In particular the Supplier must be officially registered and quote his registration number and each Suppliers Document (Irish Exports) must be given a sequential number. The other information provided may be available or deducible in the document used by suppliers in other countries but in the Irish document the information is clearly available either as tick boxes or simple script
In Ireland the common name rather than the Latin name is universally used in forestry. This is abbreviated to two capital letters which are invariably used on the labels. Thus JL is Japanese Larch (Larix kaempferi), NF is Noble Fir and SO Sessile Oak etc. Where different origins are recognised within the natural range of these forest species the second letter may be substituted, thus SS is Sitka Spruce but Sitka Spruce from Washington origin is SW and LP is Lodgepole Pine but LN is Lodgepole Pine from North Coastal origin.
Much of the information on the Supplier’s Document and Labels is duplicated on the delivery notes, advice notes and invoices. Thus the statutory information may be provided to the customer more than once. The master certificate number for each lot of plants used must be provided and checked before payment of planting grant aid can be made.
