A number of institutions are drafting biodiversity indicators for cultivated species (cf. used by farmers). In countries where seed production and marketing are regulated, it is necessary to consider the impact of this regulation when designing indicators and interpreting data.
In France, the GEVES (Institute which tests varieties for registration) published a report in 2006 which proposes 10 indicators. However, these indicators have not factored in regulation criteria. For example, one conclusion states that there are more species today in the National Register, therefore more diversity. It fails to explain that there are more species in the register simply because more species are regulated. Indeed, before these species were produit, They Were Already Used by farmers. The Legislator Does not Increase Biodiversity by Deciding to Regulate Already a specie used. The AIMS
article to explain how to factor in social regulation Criteria to Avoid distorted data and build reliable Biodiversity Indicators.

GEVES Report 2006 proposes ten indicators for crop biodiversity. In an article published in the Courier environment in September 2007, I explained that the seed market is a highly regulated market. It is necessary to set the factor 'regulation' in these indicators, without which some do not show the evolution of diversity and other data of them are distorted.
For example, the report says there are more species in the Official Catalogue, and therefore concludes that there is more biodiversity . However, it is explained that these species prior to the Catalogue, were used in agriculture. It is therefore not an increase in biodiversity, just that there are more regulated species.
The aim of this paper is to suggest how to take into account the factor 'rules' to avoid distortion of data and to develop good indicators.
