Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations, which extend to England and Wales only, are made under section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 and further amend the provisions of the Pesticides (Maximum Residue Levels in Crops, Food and Feeding Stuffs) (England and Wales) Regulations 1999 (S.I. 1999/3483).

The Regulations specify maximum levels which crops, food and feeding stuffs may contain in implementation of Commission Directives 2000/81/EC (OJ No. L326, 22.12.2000, p.56), 2000/82/EC (OJ No. L3, 6.1.2001, p.18), 2001/35/EC (OJ. L136. 18.5.2001, p.42) and in relation to diphenylamine on apples and pears Commission Directive 2000/57/EC (OJ No. L244, 29.9.2000, p.76) (regulation 2(6), (7) and (8)) and delete spent maximum levels (regulation 2(5)).

Further residue specifications are introduced and the definition of “the Residues Directives” is updated to take account of the Directives being implemented (regulation 2(2) and (3)).

Additionally, the Regulations remove specified maximum level of Tecnazene in relation to lettuce from 1 July 2003 which had been included in Part 1 of Schedule 2 by the 1999 Regulations by virtue of powers contained in the Food and Environment Protection Act 1985 and which have been replaced by the Community maximum level now included in Part 2 of that Schedule (regulation 2(4)).
