Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations, which extend to Scotland only, further amend the provisions of the Pesticides (Maximum Residue Levels in Crops, Food and Feeding Stuffs) (Scotland) Regulations 2000 (S.S.I. 2000/22) (“the principal Regulations”).

The Regulations implement Commission Directive 2004/95/EC (O.J. No. L 301, 28.9.04, p.42).

The Regulations substitute new maximum residue levels in Part 2 of Schedule 2 of the principal Regulations for residue of the pesticides Bifenthrin and Famoxadone to reflect Commission Directive 2004/95/EC (regulation 2(2)).

The Regulations also update the definition of “Residue Directives” in the principal Regulations (by substituting Schedule 5 to the principal Regulations) to incorporate Commission Directive 2004/95/EC (regulation 2(3)).

Regulation 3 makes consequential revocations.

No Regulatory Impact Assessment has been produced in relation to these Regulations.
