United Kingdom

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2003/2003 is amended as follows:

  1. (1)

    in Table A.1, the entry for fertiliser type 4 ‘sulphate of ammonia’ is replaced by the following:

    ‘

    4Sulphate of ammoniaChemically obtained product containing ammonium sulphate as its essential ingredient, possibly with up to 15 % calcium nitrate (nitrate of lime).

    19,7 % N

    Nitrogen expressed as total nitrogen.

    Maximum content of nitric nitrogen 2,2 % N if calcium nitrate (nitrate of lime) is added.

    When marketed in the form of a combination of ammonium sulphate and calcium nitrate (nitrate of lime), the designation must include “with up to 15 % calcium nitrate (nitrate of lime)”.

    Ammoniacal nitrogen.

    Total nitrogen if calcium nitrate (nitrate of lime) is added

    ’

  2. (2)

    in Table A.1, the entries for fertiliser types 16, 17 and footnote (a) are deleted. Type 18 becomes type 16:

  3. (3)

    the following Section F is added:

    ‘F.

    Nitrification and urease inhibitors

    The urease and nitrification inhibitors listed in the Tables F.1. and F.2. below may be added to the nitrogenous fertilisers types listed in Sections A.1., B.1., B.2., B.3., C.1. and C.2. of Annex I subject to the following provisions:

    1. (1)

      at least 50 % of the total nitrogen content of the fertiliser consists of the nitrogen forms specified in column 3;

    2. (2)

      they do not belong to the fertiliser types mentioned in column 4.

    Fertilisers to which a nitrification inhibitor listed in Table F.1. has been added shall have the words “with nitrification inhibitor ([type designation of nitrification inhibitor])” added to their type designation.

    Fertilisers to which a urease inhibitor listed in Table F.2. has been added shall have the words “with urease inhibitor ([type designation of urease inhibitor])” added to their type designation.

    Technical information, as complete as possible, must be provided with each package or bulk consignment by the person responsible for marketing. This information must enable the user in particular to determine the rates and timing of application in relation to the crop being grown.

    New nitrification inhibitors or urease inhibitors may be included in the Tables F1 or F2 respectively after evaluation of the technical files submitted in accordance with guidelines to be elaborated for these compounds.
