determining the terms and conditions of a compulsory licence under the provisions of this Chapter,
endeavour to secure--
(i) reasonable compensation to the breeder of the variety relating to the compulsory licence
having regard to the nature of the variety, the expenditure incurred by such breeder in breeding the
variety or for developing it, and other relevant factors;
(ii) that the compulsory licensee of such variety possesses the adequate means to provide to the
farmers, the seeds or other propagating material of such variety timely and at reasonable market
price.

relating to such licence or any seed or other propagating material of such variety from abroad where such
