Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations.)

These Regulations amend the Plant Protection Products Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2004 (S.R. 2004 No. 126) (“the principal Regulations”) which implement in Northern Ireland Council Directive 91/414/EEC (O.J. No. L230, 19.8.91, p. 1 to be read with the Corrigenda published in O.J. No. L170, 25.6.92, p. 40) concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (“the Directive”), as amended.

Schedule 1 which sets out the instruments that amend that Directive is replaced by the Schedule to these Regulations, which lists an additional eight Directives that add a further 17 active substances to Annex I. In consequence the list of active substances which can be used in products capable of being approved under regulations 5 and 6 of the 2004 Regulations for placing on the market is extended accordingly.

In addition, a drafting correction is made to regulation 27.
