EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)


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

The Regulations update the definition of "Residue Directives" in the principal Regulations to incorporate-

    (a) Commission Directive 2000/24/EC;

    (b) Commission Directive 2000/42/EC;

    (c) Commission Directive 2000/48/EC;

    (d) Commission Directive 2000/57/EC;

    (e) Commission Directive 2000/58/EC;

    (f) Commission Directive 2000/81/EC;

    (g) Commission Directive 2000/82/EC; and

    (h) Commission Directive 2001/35/EC (regulation 2 (2)).

The Regulations specify maximum levels of pesticide residues which crops, food and feeding stuffs may contain in implement of Commission Directives 2000/81/EC, 2000/82/EC and 2001/35/EC (regulation 2(3) to (8)). In regulation 2(7), the reference to diphenylamine is in part implement of Commission Directive 2000/57/EC.

The Regulations delete the maximum residue level of Tecnazene in relation to lettuce from Part 1 of Schedule 2 of the principal Regulations with effect from 1st July 2003 (regulation 2(4)). This residue level had been inserted in Part 1 of Schedule 2 of the principal Regulations by virtue of powers contained in the Food and Environment Protection Act 1985. Community maximum residue levels for Tecnazene are now included in Part 2 of Schedule 2 of the principal Regulations (regulation 2(3) and (6)).

The Regulations also delete maximum levels which became spent on 1st July 2001 (regulation 2(5)) and make a consequential amendment to the footnotes contained in Part 2 of Schedule 2 of the principal Regulations (regulation 2(8)).
