(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations, which extend to England and Wales, 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).
These Regulations amend the definition of "the Directive" in S.I. 1995/887 so as to implement Commission Directive 2001/87/EC which adds acibenzolar-s-methyl, cyclanilide, ferric phosphate, pymetrozine and pyraflufen-ethyl to Annex I of the Directive.
Transitional arrangements are included in regulation 3 to implement saving provisions included in various implementing Directives with the purpose of disapplying regulation 13(5)(a)(i). These allow for the continuation of provisional approvals containing the two active substances from Commission Directive 2001/87/EC (acibenzolar-s-methyl and pymetrozine), the active substance flupyrsulfuron-methyl from Commission Directive 2001/49/EC, and the active substance fenhexamid from Commission Directive 2001/28/EC until replaced by a decision made on an application for a standard approval, subject to a longstop date.
These Regulations revoke the Plant Protection Products (Amendment) (No. 3) Regulations 2001.
