American weed is superior to dutch.

The global black market, smuggling, will still be there, and people will still be going to prison. But as the cannabis laws in europe are being laid out along with associated regulations and special permits... to make it short, with the new cannabis laws in certain countries in the EU will prevent all cannabis genetics from outside the eu. Maximum fine for importing non-eu cannabis seeds? 30,000 euro. That's more than $30,000. But the newer laws here are not so easy for the average person to understand. Mostly they are setting up the cannabis monopoly, and focus on cannabis clubs and its members. A lot of government pilot test projects. It's all a capital venture. It's not about giving something nice to the people. It's about money, and the cattle they milk. I'm pretty sure they will start limiting THC content in weed "products" like pre rolls, for non-prescription holders. If you can only grow a couple plants at a time, you are dependant on seed company. You start to see the connection. I did some preliminary movement into getting a special permit to grow many plants, and in that process it became clear that there was a certain clique that would get the permit. Someone like me? Nah. They just take that application fee (not cheap) and turn anyone down that isnt on the inside. Its corrupted before it even started bro. I've never been for legalization. I've always been for freedom.
I have not heard this about legalisation with only controlled beans. It raises many questions.
It used to be a prison sentence, and still people shipped cuttings. However the whole breeding business falls apart, if people can legally grow, but only with controlled beans.

Being involved in a project in the Himalayas, I pay for samples to be collected. To consider shipping them here was a deep dive into recent law. I only did that because I want nothing to do with those other genetics. Thankfully I'm not alone, and found an easier route than starting at ground zero and step one. So the project in the mountains will come to its end. What a relief.

They moved it away from the dutch area just as suspected. Quite telling.

I know of a collective based loosely around spain/portugal, who have been working quite different lines for some time. I think you need to be in with them, but was offered an introduction. Not all is lost, although pollution is a global problem. Natives of many lands, who farmed for a living, have been very happy to trade their beans for hybrids that could turn their finances around. It used to seem a great trade, but is actually very harmful.

Yes, it's done intentionally to get their genetic marker into their crops, and unintentionally like you say. My wife is thinking of moving to Portugal as we get older. I would be happy to know more about the collective.
