  for obtaining export permits.

5.Parties that wish operations located in their territories to  be
  entered  in  the Register are invited to provide the Secretariat
  with   information  about  these  operations  as  described   in
  Resolution Conf. 9.19, in particular Annexes 1 and 2.





Note:The  registration number for each nursery is composed of  the
     following elements:
        +  P, which refers to Plants
         +   The  two-letter  ISO code of  the  country  on  whose
       territory the operation is located
         +  For each Party a sequential number starting with 1001.
       (This  is  to  avoid confusion with the  numbers  used  for
       operations  breeding animals, starting  with  501  and  the
       prefix  A,  and  with the numbers used for  the  registered
       scientific institutions, starting with 001.)
