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, amend the Pesticides (Maximum Residue Levels in Crops, Food and Feeding Stuffs) (Scotland) Regulations 2005 ("the principal Regulations").

These Regulations implement Commission Directive 2007/73/EC (O.J. No. L 329, 14.12.2007, p.40).

The Regulations come into force, in stages, on 28th March 2008, 15th June 2008 and 15th September 2008. They substitute or insert maximum residue levels for the pesticides Acetamiprid, Deltamethrin, Imazalil, Indoxacarb, Pendimethalin, Pymetrozine, Pyraclostrobin, Thiacloprid and Trifloxystrobin.

A Regulatory Impact Assessment ("RIA") was prepared in respect of the principal Regulations which provides a basis for establishing the impact of amendments to those Regulations. Copies of the RIA can be obtained from the Scottish Government Rural Directorate, Area 1B, Pentland House, 47 Robb"s Loan, Edinburgh, EH14 1TY. Copies have been placed in the Scottish Parliament Information Centre.
