EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations.)
These Regulations, which are made under section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972, further amend the provisions of the Pesticides (Maximum Residue Levels in Crops, Food and Feeding Stuffs) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2002 (S.R. 2002 No. 20 as amended by S.R. 2002 No. 27, S.R. 2002 No. 250 and S.R. 2003 No. 123) ("the principal Regulations").
Part II of Schedule 2 to the principal Regulations is consolidated and takes account of changes and additions to the EC maximum residue levels that have been set at an EC level since the last amendment of that Part by S.R. 2003 No. 123.
These Regulations add new residue levels in Part II of Schedule 2 that have been set by recent amendments to the three Commission Directives: Council Directive 86/362/EEC, Council Directive 86/363/EEC and Council Directive 90/642/EEC. The following new or substituted maximum residue levels are implemented in Part II of Schedule 2 in these Regulations (regulation 2 (5)) -
Commission Directive 2002/79/EC (O.J. No. L291, 28.10.2002, p. 1) for abamectin, azocyclotin and cyhexatin, bifenthrin, bitertanol, bromopropylate, clofentezine, cyromazine, fenpropimorph, flucythrinate, hexaconazol, methacrifos, myclobutanil, penconazole, prochloraz, profenofos, resmethrin and bioresmethrin, triadimefon and triadimenol and tridemorph;
Commission Directive 2002/97/EC (O.J. No. L343, 18.12.2002, p. 23) for 2,4-D, triasulfuron, and thifensulfuron methyl;
The definition of "the Residues Directives" is updated to take account of the latest Directives being implemented (regulation 2(2)).
These Regulations remove pesticide residue levels for Bitertanol that had previously been set nationally by virtue of powers contained in the Food and Environment Protection Act 1985, from the list contained in Part I of Schedule 2 to the principal Regulations as these levels have been replaced by Community levels (regulation 2(4)).
