EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)


These Regulations which extend to England and Wales, 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 implement Commission Directive 2003/118/EC and corrigenda (OJ No. L342, 30.12.2003, p.58, OJ No. L14, 21.1.2004, p. 55) to Commission Directives 2002/79/EC (OJ No. L291, 28.10.2002, p.1) and 2003/60/EC (OJ No. L155, 24.6.2003, p.15).

The definition of "the Residues Directives" is updated (regulation 2(2)).

In Schedule 1, the residue entries for Metalaxyl-M are corrected (regulation 2(3)).

In Part 2 of Schedule 2 the maximum permitted levels of residue for the pesticides Abamectin and Diquat are corrected and the maximum residue levels for 2,4-D on citrus fruits are amended (regulation 2(4)).

On 1st December 2004 the entry for the residue of Parathion-methyl is amended. In addition, the entry for Parathion-methyl which sets national maximum residue levels for the pesticide is deleted from Part 1 of Schedule 2 and replaced by a new entry in Part 2 of Schedule 2 establishing the Community maximum residue levels for the pesticide (regulation 2(5)).

On the same date the existing maximum residue levels for Acephate which are set out in Part 2 of Schedule 2 are replaced with new maximum residue levels (regulation 2(5)).
