Regulation 2(5)
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations, which extend to England and Wales only, are made under section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 and amend the provisions of the Pesticides (Maximum Residue Levels in Crops, Food and Feeding Stuffs) (England and Wales) Regulations 1999 S.I. 1999/3483.
The Regulations specify maximum levels of pesticide residues which crops, food and feeding stuffs may contain in implementation of Commission Directives 2000/24/EC (OJ No. L107, 4.5.00), 2000/42/EC (OJ No. L158, 30.6.00), 2000/48/EC (OJ No. L197, 3.8.00), 2000/57/EC (OJ No. L244, 29.9.00) and 2000/58/EC (OJ No. L244, 29.9.00) and amend Community maximum residue levels which have been set previously (regulations 2(1), 2(2) and 5).
Further residue definitions are also introduced (regulation 2(3)).
Additionally, the Regulations remove certain maximum levels which were included in Part 1 of Schedule 2 to the Consolidated Regulations 1999 (S.I. 1999/3483) by virtue of powers contained in the Food and Environment Protection Act 1985 and which have been replaced by the Community maximum residue levels now included in Part 2 of that Schedule (regulation 2(4)).
The Regulations also amend Schedule 3 to the Consolidated Regulations 1999 by introducing the new products 'papaya’ and 'chilli peppers’ to reflect the categories specified in Directives 2000/42/EC and 2000/24/EC respectively (regulation 2(6)).
A regulatory impact assessment has been prepared in respect of these Regulations. Copies of this assessment can be obtained from the Pesticides Safety Directorate of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, Room 313, Mallard House, Kings Pool, 3 Peasholme Green, York YO1 7PX.
