EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)


These Regulations, which extend to England and Wales, further amend the Plant Protection Products Regulations 1995(S.I. 1995/887) which implement in Great Britain Council Directive 91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (OJ No. L230, 19.8.91, p.1 as read with OJ No. L170, 25.6.92, p.40).

The Regulations amend the definition of "the Directive" in S.I. 1995/887 so as to implement - 

    (a) Commission Directive 2000/80 (which repeals and replaces earlier Directives and adds lambda-cyhalothrin to Annex I to the 1991 Directive);

    (b) the following Directives - 

           Commission Directive 2001/21

           Commission Directive 2001/47

           Commission Directive 2001/49

    which add amitrol, diquat, pyridate, thiabendazole, Paecilomyces fumosoroseus and flupyrsulfuron-methyl to Annex I to the 1991 Directive; and

    (c) Commission Directive 2001/36/EC, which substantially amends the Annex II dossier requirements for inclusion of an active substance in Annex I, and Annex III dossier requirements for approval of plant protection products.

Transitional arrangements to implement derogations contained in two of the Directives are included in regulation 3 to cover the position of certain existing provisional approvals. Those containing the active substance flupyrsulfuron-methyl (Commission Directive 2001/49/EC) shall continue, whilst those containing fenhexamid (Commission Directive 2001/28/EC) shall be treated as revived and extended, until later dates mentioned therein.

These Regulations revoke the Plant Protection Products (Amendment)(No. 2) Regulations 2001 which are either spent or consolidated in these Regulations and also consequentially modify the Plant Protection Products (Fees) Regulations 2001.
