PART B

Guidelines for filling in the different columns of the national list of basic material, as presented in Part A of this
Annex

1. The species should be listed in alphabetical order (column B) and within each species in the order of the categories
(Article 2(l) of Directive 1999/105/EC) (column C) commencing with source identified, followed by selected, qualified and
tested. Within qualified the order will be seed orchard, parents of family(ies), clone and clonal mixture while within tested,
stand will precede seed orchard.

2. The different columns shall be filled in accordance with the standardised order and coding of information as specified

in Part B.4 of this Annex.

3. Column B shall be filled in accordance with the abbreviations as specified in Part B.5 of this Annex.
