The Norwegian Plant Variety Board acts as an advisory body. The objective of the acceptance procedure is to ensure that marketed varieties are sufficiently adapted to the growth-conditions in Norway. As a rule, seeds can only be marketed if the variety is listed in the National list of varieties or in the EU Common Catalogue.
