Abstract
This Law regulates plant protection. Its purpose is to regulate the activities of natural persons and legal persons in the field of plant protection in order to prevent the import, introduction and spread of harmful organisms in the territory of the State and the European Union, as well as to ensure that the plant protection measures and plant protection products do not leave an adverse effect on human health, those species of animals, which people raise or utilise for food, and the environment, and to prevent the accumulation of plant protection product residues in the products produced, in the soil and in water above the permissible norms. Plant protection is a set of legal, technical, organisational and practical measures to be taken in order to study biological and ecological factors of the organisms harmful to and competitive with plants, to specify and implement restrictions on and combating of the spread of such organisms. The Ministry of Agriculture of Latvia oversees plant protection in the State.
