(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 further 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 which crops, food and feeding stuffs may contain in implementation of Commission Directives 2001/39/EC (OJ No. L148, 1.6.01, p.70), 2001/48/EC (OJ No. L180, 3.7.01, p.26), 2001/57/EC (OJ. L208, 1.8.01, p.36) (regulation 2 (4) and the Schedule).
The maximum level for chlorothalonil on bananas is amended to reflect Commission Directive 2001/35/EC (OJ No. L136, 18.5.01, p.42), the maximum level for iprodione on spring onions is amended to reflect Commission Directive 98/82/EC (OJ No. L290, 29.10.98, p.25), and the maximum level for methamidophos on cottonseed is corrected to that set out in Council Directive 93/58/EEC (OJ No. L211, 23.8.93, p.6) (regulation 2(3)).
The definition of “the Residues Directives” is updated to take account of the Directives being implemented (regulation 2(2)).
