S.L. 433.30 ст. 30Size requirements of seed potatoes and tubers.

(1) Seed potatoes may not be marketed unless they are of a minimum size such that they do not pass through a square mesh of 25mm x 25mm. In the case of potato tubers which are too large to pass through a square mesh of 35mm x 35mm, the upper and lower size limits shall be expressed in multiples of 5. The maximum variation in size between tubers in a lot shall be such that the difference between the dimensions of the two square meshes used does not exceed 25mm. These sizing standards may be modified in accordance with the rules of the European Union. A lot shall not contain more than 3% by weight of tubers smaller than the minimum size indicated or more than 3% by weight of tubers larger than the maximum size indicated.

(2) The Directorate may, in respect of seed potatoes produced in the Maltese territory, further reduce the permitted variation in size between tubers in a lot.
