Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Plant Protection Products Regulations 2005 (S.I. 2005/1435) which implement in England and Wales Council Directive 91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (OJ No. L230, 19.8.91, p.1, as read with corrigenda published in OJ No. L170, 25.6.92, p.40).

Schedule 1, which sets out the instruments that amend that Directive, is replaced by the Schedule to these Regulations, which lists an additional Directive that adds a further two active substances to Annex I. In consequence the list of active substances which can be used in products capable of being approved under regulations 5 and 6 of the 2005 Regulations for placing on the market and use is extended accordingly.

A full regulatory impact assessment has not been prepared in respect of these Regulations as they have no impact on the costs of business.
