Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Plant Protection Products Regulations 2005 (S.I. 2005/1435) (“the Principal Regulations”) which implement in England and Wales Council Directive 91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (OJ No. L230, 19.8.91, p.1, as read with corrigenda published in OJ No. L170, 25.6.92, p.40).

Schedule 1 to the Principal Regulations, which sets out the instruments that amend that Directive, is amended by the insertion of the entries set out in the various Parts of the Schedule to these Regulations, which list additional Directives that add one or more further active substances to Annex I of the Council Directive. In consequence the list of active substances which can be used in products capable of being approved under regulations 5 and 6 of the 2005 Regulations for placing on the market and use is extended accordingly.

The amendments relating to the entries set out in Parts 1 to 7 of the Schedule come into force as follows:

Part 1: 1st June 2006

Part 2: 1st September 2006

Part 3: 1st October 2006

Part 4: 1st November 2006

Part 5: 1st January 2007

Part 6: 1st February 2007

Part 7: 1st April 2007
