(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations further amend the Plant Protection Products (Scotland) Regulations 2005 (S.S.I. 2005/331) (“the principal Regulations”) which implement in Scotland 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 corrigendum published in O.J. No. L 170, 25.6.92, p.40) (“the Directive”).
These Regulations amend the definition of “the Directive” in the principal Regulations so as to implement Commission Directives 2006/39/EC (O.J. No. L 104, 13.4.06, p.30), 2006/41/EC (O.J. No. L 187, 8.7.06, p.24), 2006/45/EC (O.J. No. L 130, 18.5.06, p.27), and 2006/64/EC (O.J. No. L 206, 27.7.06, p.107) which amend Annex 1 to the Directive (regulation 3).
These 4 Directives amend the specification of the active substance, propoxycarbazone, and add 11 substances to the list of active substances in Annex I of the Directive. The 4 Directives and the additional 11 active substances are therefore added to Schedule 1 to the principal Regulations by substituting a new Schedule for Schedule 1 to the principal Regulations (regulations 3 and 4). In consequence the list of active substances which can be used in products capable of being approved under regulations 5 and 6 of the principal Regulations for placing on the market and use is extended accordingly.
Finally, the Regulations revoke the Plant Protection Products (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2006 (S.S.I. 2006/241) which amended the principal Regulations and which amendment is superseded by these Regulations (regulation 5).
A full regulatory impact assessment has not been prepared in respect of these Regulations because they have no impact on the costs of business.
1972 c. 68. Section 2(2) was amended by the Scotland Act 1998 (c. 46), Schedule 8, paragraph 15. The function conferred upon the Minister of the Crown under section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972, insofar as within devolved competence, was transferred to the Scottish Ministers by virtue of section 53 of the Scotland Act 1998.
