Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations, which are made under section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972, amend the Pesticides (Maximum Residue Levels in Crops, Food and Feeding Stuffs) (Scotland) Regulations 2005 (S.S.I. )2005/599 (“the principal Regulations”).

These Regulations implement Commission Directives 2005/70/EC (O.J. No. L 276, 21.10.05, p.35), 2005/74/EC (O.J. No. L 282, 26.10.05, p.9) and 2005/76/EC (O.J. No. L 293, 9.11.05, p.14).

With the exceptions of regulations 5 and 6, these Regulations come into force on 27th April 2006.

Regulation 4 makes amendments which–

(a)update the definition of “the Residues Directives” in regulation 2 of the principal Regulations;

(b)substitutes certain new maximum residue levels in Schedule 2 to the principal Regulations; these are maximum residue levels for residues of the pesticides Ethofumesate, Lambda-cyhalothrin, Methomyl/thiodicarb, Pymetrozine and Thiabendazole; and

(c)inserts a new product, “Cassava”, and a new product group “spices” in Schedule 3 to the principal Regulations.

Regulation 5 comes into force on 10th May 2006. It amends–

(a)Schedule 1 to the principal Regulations, which identifies the substances residues of which are taken into account in the measuring of residue levels for each pesticide, by replacing the residue for the pesticide Metalaxyl; and

(b)Schedule 2 to the principal Regulations, by substituting new maximum residue levels for residues of the pesticides Azoxystrobin, Bifenthrin, Cyromazine, Kresoxim-methyl and Metalaxyl.

Regulation 6 comes into force on 21st April 2007. It amends–

(a)Schedule 1 to the principal Regulations, by substituting the entry for the pesticide Glyphosate with two new entries for Glyphosate; and by inserting new entries for the pesticides Bromoxynil, Chlorpropham, Dimethenamid-P, Flazasulfuron, Flurtamone, Ioxynil, Mepanipyrim, Propoxycarbazone, Pyraclostrobin, Quinoxyfen and Zoxamide; and

(b)Schedule 2 to the principal Regulations, by substituting the column for the pesticide Glyphosate with two new columns for Glyphosate; and by inserting new columns for the pesticides Bromoxynil, Chlorpropham, Dimethenamid-P, Flazasulfuron, Flurtamone, Ioxynil, Mepanipyrim, Propoxycarbazone, Pyraclostrobin, Quinoxyfen and Zoxamide.

No Regulatory Impact Assessment has been prepared in respect of these Regulations.
