Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations extend to England and Wales and further amend the Plant Protection Products Regulations 1995 (S.I. 1995/887) which implement in Great Britain Council Directive 91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (OJ No. L230, 19.8.91, p. 1).
