European Communities (Authorization, Placing on the Market, Use and Control of Plant Protection Products) (Amendment) Regulations, 1996.

The amendments, inter alia, specify the detailed requirements relating to fate and behaviour in the environment and impact on non-target species, to be submitted in support of applications for authorization for marketing and use of plant protection products, including evaluation as to the risk of fish kills, and fatalities in large vertebrates, or terrestrial predators, regardless of effects at population or community level. The Minister may from time to time specify the maximum levels of residues of plant protection products which may be contained in specified controlled products.
