The social, economic, environmental, ecological and cultural functions of the mountains require that, for their sustainable management and for the improvement and conservation of forest genetic resources, forest materials reproduction of the species and hybrids used in selecolas are phenotypic and genetically of high quality, as well as appropriate to the conditions of the environment in which they are used.

The Order of 21 January 1989 regulating the marketing of forest reproductive material and the Order of 21 January 1989 on the external quality standards of forest materials (a) reproduction is made available on the market and incorporated into our legal order, respectively, Council Directive 66 /404/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of forest reproductive material and their amendments, as well as Council Directive 71 /161/EEC of 30 March 1971 on quality standards of the forest reproductive material placed on the market in the Community and its modifications.

The Council of the European Union has considered it appropriate to promulgate Council Directive 1999 /105/EC of 22 December 1999 on the marketing of forest reproductive material, which it recovers and updates the two directives mentioned above.

Royal Decree 1356/1998 of 26 June lays down the rules applicable to the production, placing on the market and use of forest reproductive material of species not subject to Community legislation.

This royal decree incorporates into our internal order Directive 1999 /105/EC and the peculiarities of the Spanish forest situation that were contemplated in the aforementioned Royal Decree 1356/1998, repealing, in turn, the Real Decree 1356/1998 and the abovementioned orders of 21 January 1989.

In the elaboration of this royal decree, the autonomous communities and affected sectors have been consulted.

In its virtue, on the proposal of the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food and the Minister of the Environment, after the approval of the Minister of Public Administration, in agreement with the State Council and prior deliberation of the Council of Ministers at its meeting on 7 March 2003,

DISPONGO:

The specific objective shall be indicated in the national register.

1. Origin: to be determined, by historical data or other appropriate means, if it is an indigenous or indigenous, non-indigenous or non-indigenous bearing, or if its origin is unknown and, for non-indigenous base materials, its source, if known.

2. Insulation: the selected stands must be located at a sufficient distance from the lowest quality bearing of the same species or with any bearing of species or varieties related to which they may form hybrids. Particular attention shall be paid to this requirement when stands that surround indigenous or indigenous stands are non-indigenous or non-indigenous or of unknown origin.

3. Effective population size: select stands must be integrated by populations with a sufficient number of trees, density and distribution so that adequate interpollination is ensured and the unfavourable effects of the inbreeding.

4. Age and development: select stands must consist of trees of an age or stage of development that allow the criteria given for selection to be clearly judged.

5. Uniformity: select stands must show a normal degree of individual variation in the morphological characters. If necessary, the lower trees should be removed.

6. Adaptive capacity: adaptation to the dominant ecological conditions in the region of provenance must be evident.

7. Health and resistance: the trees of the selected stands must be free from attacks by harmful organisms and present resistance to the climatic and adverse location conditions of the place where they are growing, except as regards the damage caused by the contamination.

8. Production by volume of wood: it shall normally be greater than the average observed in masses of the same region of origin under similar ecological and management conditions.

9. Quality of wood: it will be valued for those of the highest quality. The proportion of individuals with the best characteristics will be higher than the average observed in masses in the same region of origin.

10. Shape or pattern of growth: they must present particularly good morphological characteristics, especially straight and circular trunks, the inclination and bifurcation of the shaft, the angle and thickness of the branches and good natural pruning. In addition, the proportion of trees that present hanging or reversed fiber should be low.

11. Access: the select roll will be easily accessible, especially in the time of harvesting of the forest reproductive material.

12. Delimitation: it must have clear boundaries, which will be supported in the geographical or dasocratic divisions of the mountains.

When the primary target of selection is cork production, the following characteristics are considered:

13. Production of cork: the average production of cork from the select film will be higher in quantity and quality than the average observed in the region of origin. The quality will be analysed by tasting in the tree. Exceptionally, a rodent can be admitted as a select without performing the tasting for not being the year of the uncorché, and in this case it is necessary to perform the tasting when it comes to the turn of the discorche.

14. Sanitary state of the cork: the trees of the selected stands, in an important proportion, must be free from the attacks of organisms harmful to the cork.

When the primary target of selection is the production of fruit, the following characteristics shall be considered:

15. Fruit production: the average production of fruit per hectare per year must be higher than the average observed in masses of the same region of origin with similar treatments.

16. Health status of the fruit: the trees of the selected stands, in an important proportion, must be free from the attacks of organisms harmful to the fruit.

When the main objective of the selection includes several of the above, or is a multifunctional objective, the characters that may be applicable, as indicated above, will be appropriately valued.
