Regulation 8 Emergency approvals

In special circumstances the Ministers may approve, for a period not exceeding 120 days, the placing on the market and use of any plant protection product not complying with regulation 6 for a limited and controlled use if such a measure appears necessary because of an unforeseeable danger which cannot be contained by other means.

An approval granted under this regulation shall specify the requirements and conditions relating to the placing on the market and use of the product.

Any person who contravenes or causes or permits any person to contravene any requirement or condition of an approval granted under this regulation shall be guilty of an offence.
