EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)


These Regulations amend the Plant Protection Products Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2005 (S.R. 2005 No. 526) ("the principal Regulations") which implement in Northern Ireland Council Directive 91/414/EEC (O.J. No. L230, 19.8.91, p. 1 to be read with the Corrigenda published in O.J. No. L170, 25.6.92, p. 40) concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market ("the Directive"), as amended.

Schedule 1 which sets out the instruments that amend that Directive is replaced by the Schedule to these Regulations, which lists an additional 13 Directives that add a further 27 active substances to Annex I. In consequence the list of active substances which can be used in products capable of being approved under regulations 5 and 6 of the principal Regulations for placing on the market is extended accordingly.

The Regulations also includes:

    (a) Directive 2006/76/EC which amends the active substance specification for Chlorothalonil which was added to Schedule 1 by Directive 2005/53/EC and;

    (b) Directive 2007/7/EC which amends the expiry dates of 7 active substances already added to Schedule 1 by Directive 2000/80/EC.
