EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations, which extend to Scotland only, further amend the provisions of the Pesticides (Maximum Residue Levels in Crops, Food and Feeding Stuffs) (Scotland) Regulations 2000 ("the principal Regulations").

The Regulations implement Commission Directive 2004/59/EC (O.J. No. L 120, 24.4.04, p.30) and Commission Directive 2004/61/EC (O.J. No. L 127, 29.4.04, p.81).

The Regulations remove references to the pesticide Omethoate and its residues from the principal Regulations to implement Commission Directive 2002/71/EC (O.J. No. L 225, 22.8.02, p.21) (regulation 2(2)(a) and (4)(c)).

With effect from 25th October 2004, the Regulations set new maximum residue levels for the pesticide Bromopropylate (regulation 2(4)(d) and Schedule 1).

With effect from 26th January 2005, the Regulations introduce maximum residue levels for the pesticides 1,2 Dichloroethane, Ethylene oxide and Nitrofen (regulations 2(2)(c) and 2(4)(f) and Schedule 1).

With effect from 26th January 2005, the Regulations set new maximum residue levels for the pesticides Aldrin and dieldrin, Binapacryl, Camphechlor (Toxaphene), Captafol, Chlordane, 1 2 Dibromoethane, Dinoseb, HCH (Hexachlorocyclohexane), Hexachlorobenzene and Mercury compounds (regulation 2(2)(b), (c), (3), (4)(e), (f) and (g) and Schedule 1). HCH (Hexachlorocyclohexane) was previously known as Hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) and Hexachlorobenzene was previously known as Hexachlorobenzene (HCB). The maximum residue levels for the pesticides Chlordane and Mercury compounds, and most of the maximum residue levels for Aldrin and dieldrin, were previously set nationally.

With effect from 26th January 2005, the Regulations insert new definitions of the residues of the pesticides Aldrin and dieldrin, Camphechlor (Toxaphene), Chlordane and Mercury compounds (regulation 2(2)(d)).

The Regulations amend the maximum residue levels of Aramite and Diphenylamine on papaya to implement Commission Directive 2000/24/EC (O.J. No. L 107, 4.5.00, p.28) and Commission Directive 2000/57/EC (O.J. No. L 244, 29.9.00, p.76) respectively (regulation 2(4)(a) and (b)).

These Regulations also update the definition of "Residue Directives" in the principal Regulations (by substituting Schedule 5 to the principal Regulations) to incorporate Commission Directives 2004/59/EC and 2004/61/EC (regulation 2(5) and Schedule 2).

Regulation 3 makes consequential revocations.

No Regulatory Impact Assessment has been produced in relation to these Regulations.
