Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations further amend the Plant Protection Products Regulations 1995 (“the 1995 Regulations”), which implement Council Directive 91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (O.J. No. L 230, 19.8.91, p.1, as read with corrigenda published in O.J. No. L 170, 25.6.92, p.40).

The Regulations amend the definition of “the Directive” in the 1995 Regulations so as to implement–

(a)

Commission Directive 2000/80/EC (O.J. No. L 309, 9.12.00, p.14) (as from 1st July 2002);

(b)

Commission Directive 2001/21/EC (O.J. No. L 69, 10.3.01, p.17) (as from 1st July 2002); and

(c)

Commission Directive 2001/28/EC (O.J. No. L 113, 24.4.01, p.5),which add lambda-cyhalothrin, amitrole, diquat, pyridate, thiabendazote and fenhaxamid to Annex I to the Directive (regulation 2).

The Regulations also make consequential amendments to the Plant Protection Products (Fees) Regulations 1995, as amended (regulation 3).

Finally, the Regulations revoke regulation 2(a) of the Plant Protection Products Amendment (Scotland) Regulations 2001, which amended the 1995 Regulations and which amendment is superseded by these Regulations (regulation 4).
