Transitional arrangements for provisional approvalsE+W
3. In so far as they extend to England and Wales, the Plant Protection Products Regulations 1995 shall be modified so that where there is an approval granted under regulation 7(1) (provisional approvals), or extended pursuant to regulation 7(5)—
(a)the inclusion of the active substances acibenzolar-s-methyl and pymetrozine in Annex I to the Directive does not revoke any such approval in respect of any plant protection product containing either active substance, and that approval shall continue in effect until an approval is granted under regulation 5(1) (standard approvals), or 31st March 2003, whichever is the earlier;
(b)the inclusion of the active substance flupyrsulfuron-methyl in Annex I to the Directive does not revoke any such approval in respect of any plant protection product containing that active substance, and that approval shall continue in effect until an approval is granted under regulation 5(1), or 30th November 2002, whichever is the earlier; and
(c)if the plant protection product contains any of the active substances mentioned in (a) or (b), together with another active substance not yet placed in Annex I to the Directive, such approval shall continue in effect unless revoked by the Secretary of State under regulation 13(5) (applications, reviews, revocations and modifications).
