EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)


These Regulations, which extend to England and Wales only, are made under section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 and further amend the provisions of the Pesticides (Maximum Residue Levels in Crops, Food and Feeding Stuffs) (England and Wales) Regulations 1999 (S.I.1999/3483).

The Regulations specify maximum levels which crops, food and feeding stuffs may contain in implementation of Commission Directives 2002/5/EC and 2002/23/EC. New columns of pesticide are added to Part 2 Schedule 2 of the 1999 Regulations for the residues of Flupyrsulfuron-methyl and Pymetrozine (regulation 2(6)(a)). Complete revised columns for the residues of pesticides Amitraz, Azoxystrobin and Lambda-cyhalothrin have been substituted for existing columns in Part 2 Schedule 2 (regulation 2(6)(b)).

Regulation 2(3) adds the names of further pesticide residue substances to Schedule 1.

Other minor alterations to implement changes of pesticide residue for other pesticides, namely Acephate, Chlorothalonil, Cypermethrin, Ethephon, Fenbutatin Oxide, Kresoxim-methyl and Metalaxyl, are made to specified products in regulation 2(5).

The definition of "the Residues Directives" is updated to take account of the Directives being implemented (regulation 2(2)).
