Summary
Each EU Member State must maintain a national database of organic and in-conversion seed and plant reproductive material (PRM). Limited availability and inconsistent listings increase the risk of derogation misuse, making accurate databases essential for phasing out derogations by 2036.
Since 2021, the Router Database (RDB) has linked national databases, enabling suppliers to submit offers once for wider distribution, reducing administrative burden and improving visibility.
In 2026, the RDB will relaunch with new tools and enhanced features. A self-paced training will help suppliers learn, practice, and act as trainers within their teams. Accordingly, the training material will be adapted to reflect the new functionalities.
