(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) (England and Wales) Regulations 2005 (S.I. 2005/3286).
The Regulations implement Commission Directives 2005/70/EC (OJ No. L276, 21.10.2005, p.35), 2005/74/EC (OJ No. L282, 26.10.2005, p.9) and 2005/76/EC (OJ No. L293, 9.11.2005, p.14).
Regulations 1 to 4 come into force on 27th April 2006. Regulation 4 makes amendments which substitute 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, Pymetrozine and Thiabendazole.
Regulation 5 comes into force on 10th May 2006. It amends—
(a)Schedule 1, 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, 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, by replacing 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, by replacing the column for the pesticide Glyphosate with the two new columns for Glyphosate; and by inserting new entries in the columns for the pesticides Bromoxynil, Chlorpropham, Dimethenamid-P, Flazasulfuron, Flurtamone, Ioxynil, Mepanipyrim, Propoxycarbazone, Pyraclostrobin, Quinoxyfen and Zoxamide.
A Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) was prepared in 2005 when the Principal Regulations were previously consolidated and provides a basis for establishing the impact of amendments to the Principal Regulations of the kind made by these Regulations. A consultation in 2003 indicated that compliance costs were virtually unchanged from those quoted in the 1999 RIA. Copies of the assessment can be obtained from the Pesticides Safety Directorate, Room 308, Mallard House, Kings Pool, 3 Peasholme Green, York Y01 7PX or via the website www.pesticides.gov.uk. Copies have been placed in the library of each House of Parliament.
