Plant Protection Products Regulations 2005 (S.I. No. 1435 of 2005).

The Regulations continue to implement the provisions of the 1991 Directive by providing for the authorization system in England and Wales under the operation of the Secretary of State. In the Regulations authorizations are described as approvals. The Regulations impose a prohibition on the placing on the market and use of plant protection products unless they have been approved by the Secretary of State under the Regulations and are placed on the market and used in accordance with any conditions or requirements specified in their approval. Persons intending to place new active substances on the market must apply to the Secretary of State for such substances to be included in Annex I. Provisions requiring the notification of potentially dangerous effects of approved plant protection products are respectively covered in regulations 10 and 14. The Regulations confer enforcement powers on officers authorized by the Secretary of State, define offences and prescribe penalties. (28 regulations completed by 4 Schedules)
