These Regulations, which are made under section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972, further amend the provisions of the Pesticides (Maximum Residue Levels in Crops, Food and Feeding Stuffs) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2002.
The Regulations implement Commission Directive 2004/95/EC (O.J. No. L301, 28.9.2004, p. 42).
The definition of “the Residues Directives” is updated (regulation 2(2)).
New maximum residue levels are substituted in Part II of Schedule 2 for residues of the pesticides Bifenthrin and Famoxadone (regulation 2(3)).
