Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Plant Protection Products (Scotland) Regulations 2005 (“the principal Regulations”) which implement in Scotland Council Directive 91/414/EEC (“the Directive”) concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market.

These Regulations come into force on 31st March 2007.

These Regulations amend the definition of “the Directive” in the principal Regulations so as to implement Commission Directives 2006/131/EC, 2006/132/EC, 2006/133/EC, 2006/134/EC, 2006/135/EC, 2006/136/EC, 2007/5/EC and 2007/6/EC, all of which amend Annex 1 to the Directive (regulation 3).

These 8 Directives add 14 active substances to the list of active substances in Annex I of the Directive. The 8 Directives and the additional 14 active substances are therefore added to Schedule 1 to the principal Regulations by substituting the Schedule to these Regulations for Schedule 1 to the principal Regulations (regulation 4). In consequence the list of active substances which can be used in products capable of being approved under regulations 5 and 6 of the principal Regulations for placing on the market and use is extended accordingly.

Finally, the Regulations revoke the Plant Protection Products (Scotland) Amendment (No. 3) Regulations 2006 which amended the principal Regulations and which amendment is superseded by these Regulations (regulation 5).

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