(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Plant Protection Products (Scotland) Regulations 2003 (S.S.I. 2003/579) (“the 2003 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”).
The Regulations implement Commission Directives 2003/112/EC (O.J. No. L 321, 6.12.03, p.32), 2003/119/EC (O.J. No. L 325, 12.12.03, p.41), 2004/20/EC, (O.J. No. L 70, 9.3.04, p.32), 2004/30/EC (O.J. No. L 77, 13.3.04, p.50), 2004/58/EC (O.J. No. L 120, 24.4.04, p.26), 2004/60/EC (O.J. No. L 120, 24.4.04, p.39), 2004/62/EC (O.J. No. L 125, 28.4.04, p.38) and 2004/71/EC (O.J. No. L 127, 29.4.04, p.104).
These 8 Directives add 17 substances to the list of active substances in Annex I of the Directive. The 8 Directives and the additional 17 active substances are therefore added to Schedule 1 to the 2003 Regulations by substituting the Schedule to these Regulations for Schedule 1 to the 2003 Regulations (regulation 2(3) and the Schedule). In consequence the list of active substances which can be used in products capable of being approved under regulations 5 and 6 of the 2003 Regulations for placing on the market is extended accordingly.
In addition, the Regulations make minor amendments to regulation 28 of the 2003 Regulations, substituting the reference to Schedule 3 with the correct reference to Schedule 4 and omitting paragraph 4 (regulation 2(2)).
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.
