These Regulations, which extend to Scotland only, further amend the provisions of the Pesticides (Maximum Residue Levels in Crops, Food and Feeding Stuffs) (Scotland) Regulations 2000 (S.S.I. 2000/22) (“the principal Regulations”).

The Regulations implement Commission Directive 2004/95/EC (O.J. No. L 301, 28.9.04, p.42).

The Regulations substitute new maximum residue levels in Part 2 of Schedule 2 of the principal Regulations for residue of the pesticides Bifenthrin and Famoxadone to reflect Commission Directive 2004/95/EC (regulation 2(2)).

The Regulations also update the definition of “Residue Directives” in the principal Regulations (by substituting Schedule 5 to the principal Regulations) to incorporate Commission Directive 2004/95/EC (regulation 2(3)).

Regulation 3 makes consequential revocations.

No Regulatory Impact Assessment has been produced in relation to these Regulations.
