# The Plant Protection Products (Fees) (Amendment) Regulations 2004, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations which are made under section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 amend the Plant Protection Products (Fees) Regulations 2003 (S.I. 2003/660), which set fees for the processing and examination of applications for approval for plant protection products and related works.
The Regulations alter the fees that are payable as detailed in the table of comparison with the Plant Protection Products (Fees) Regulations 2003 set out below.
The structure of Part A of the table in the Schedule to the Regulations has been amended to reflect changes to, and to clarify, the elements of the processing and examination required.
The Regulations also update the definitions for the “1991 Directive” and “data” and substitute a new definition, “the 2003 Regulations”, for the “1995 Regulations” to reflect the revocation of the Plant Protection Products Regulations 1995 (S.I. 1995/887 as amended) and their re-enactment with modifications for England and Wales in the Plant Protection Products Regulations 2003 (S.I. 2003/3241) and for Scotland in the Plant Protection Products (Scotland) Regulations 2003 (S.S.I. 2003/579).
A Regulatory Impact Assessment has been prepared and placed in the library of each House of Parliament. Copies can be obtained from Pesticides Safety Directorate, Room 314, Mallard House, Kings Pool, 3 Peasholme Green, York YO1 2PX or from the website www.pesticides.gov.uk.
