(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations extend to England and Wales and 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, p. 1).
Regulation 2 (2) and (5) simplify the definition provision for the Directive by creating a new Schedule AA1 which lists the instruments that amend the definition of the Directive in Regulation 2 of these Regulations following the listing of active substances in Annex I to the Directive.
Regulation 2 (3) amends regulation 7 (provisional approvals) by adding a new regulation 7 (5A) to indicate the date by which time the provisional approvals containing active substances that have been included in Annex I to the Directive must be either amended to a standard approval or withdrawn. Regulation 2 (5) creates a new Schedule A1 that lists the dates mentioned in the implementing EC instruments for extensions of provisional approvals.
These Regulations implement for the first time certain Directives which have added the following active substances in Annex I: Commission Directive 2002/48/EC (which adds the active substances iprovalicarb, prosulfuron and sulfosulfuron to the Annex on 1st July 2002), Commission Directive 2002/64/EC (which adds cinidon-ethyl, cyhalofop-butyl, famoxadone, florasulam, metalaxyl-m and picolinafen to the Annex on 1st October 2002), Commission Directive 2002/81/EC (which adds flumioxazine to the Annex on 1st January 2003) and amends the definition further on 1st March 2003 when these Regulations implement Commission Directive 2002/37/EC (to add ethofumesate to the Annex on that date).
Council Directive 1999/45/EC (OJ No. L200, 30.7.99, p. 1) concerning the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of Member States relating to classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous preparations has been implemented by the Chemicals (Hazard Information and Packaging for Supply) Regulations 2002 (S.I. 2002/1689). As a result of revocation of the earlier Chemicals (Hazard Information and Packaging for Supply) Regulations 1994 (S.I. 1994/3247) regulation 27(4) is deleted (regulation 2(4)).
Certain labelling provisions in paragraph 1 of Schedule 2 have been amended by regulation 2(7) and (8) to reflect the repeal of Directive 78/631/EEC (OJ No. L 206 29.7.1978, p. 13) by Council Directive 1999/45/EC. This repeal is also now reflected with a reference to the 1999 Directive in paragraph 2(b) of Schedule 1 (regulation 2(6)).
