A certain proof of origin is important for tracing back forest reproductive material. The Czech Republic as a member state of the European Union and on the base of international legislation (Council Directive 1999/105/EC on the marketing of forest reproductive material on the market) has the obligation to create a functioning control system for determination of forest reproductive material. Its aim is to ensure clear identification of reproductive material from the acquisition to delivery to the consumer. The existing legal regulations on forest reproductive material in the Czech Republic provide only the inspection of the master certificates and delivery papers as a control measure. At present, the insufficiency of the current control system consists in the impossibility to prove any infringement of precepts by an objective method that would allow verification of the real origin of a selected sample of forest reproductive material. Objective methods for independent verification of origin of the plant material based on molecular methods, however, are already used, including the first attempts of their utilizing in practice. A certification system called ZüF (“Zertifizierungsring für überprüfbare Forstliche Herkunft Süddeutschland e.V.”) was operationally established in Germany in 2002.
