Consultation: The plant protection products regulations 2011
The Chemicals Regulations Directorate is carrying out a UK wide follow-up consultation, inviting views on two sets of draft Regulations which will underpin the implementation in the UK of legislation arising from the EU’s Thematic Strategy on Pesticides. The first supports the operation of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market. The second sets fees and charges to recover the Government’s costs of implementing this and other EU legislation on plant protection products.
This consultation will be of interest to a wide range of stakeholders: members of the public; all users of pesticides including home/garden products; local authorities and other public and government bodies; the agriculture and horticulture industries; businesses and organisations involved in amenity use of pesticides; trade associations; farming unions; businesses involved in the manufacture, supply and use of pesticides; and non-governmental organisations, consumer and rural groups.

The closing date for comments is the 12th April 2011.
