The Secretary of State and the Welsh Ministers are designated[1] for the purposes of section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972[2], as read with paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to that Act[3], in relation to the common agricultural policy.
The Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in that section and it appears to the Secretary of State and to the Welsh Ministers that it is expedient for the reference to Council Directive 91/414/EEC, concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market[4], to be construed as a reference to that instrument as amended from time to time.
Acting jointly, the Secretary of State and the Welsh Ministers (the Welsh Ministers acting in relation to Wales only), in exercise of the powers conferred on them by that section, make the following Regulations.

EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Plant Protection Products Regulations 2005 (S.I. 2005/1435) which implement in England and Wales Council Directive 91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (OJ No. L230, 19.8.91, p.1).
A new definition for that Directive is substituted to the effect that references to that Directive are references to it as amended from time to time.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
