Abstract
"Pesticides" in this Act includes plant protection substances and pesticides not used for agricultural purposes. The Act also regulates the placing on the market and use of "active substances". "Active substances" are micro-organisms, including viruses, which can act as plant protection substance or other pesticide. Articles 1A to 9A provide for the admitting on the market of pesticides. Act No. 689 of 1998 amends the principal Act by making provision for a Commission for the admission of pesticides (arts. 1(a)-(m). Decisions concerning admittance are made by the Commission (art. 4). Articles 10 to 16(a) provide for restrictions on the use of and prohibit certain actions in relation to admitted pesticides. Article 3 formulates detailed conditions for admitting pesticides on the market. Admittance shall be valid for a maximum period of 10 years. The Act refers to Community legislation. (56 articles)
