Hon Dr DAVID CLARK (Minister of Commerce and Consumer Affairs): Part 2 of the bill sets out exactly what rights a plant variety right (PVR) gives the breeder, the exceptions to those rights, and the term of duration of those rights. By aligning with the 1991 revision of the International Convention for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants, UPOV-91, the bill significantly expands breeders' rights compared to the current legislation. And this, of course, is good for economic growth, good for intellectual property development, and has been the subject of some public debate about what the right terms of extension are.
