he terms greenhouse and nursery refer to structures with walls, ceiling and floor designed and used mainly for plant-growing in a controlled, protected environment. At the very least, all containment and protection measures laid out in Annex II  of Spanish Royal Decree 178/2004 must be applied to activities with transgenic plants in greenhouses.
