Abstract

The Regulations specify the requirements which must be met before materials may be designated and sold as EEC fertilizers and apply also to materials intended for use as fertilizers which are not so designated (regs. 2 and 3). They prescribe names for and descriptions of such materials (regs. 4 and 5 and Schedule 1) and particulars and information to be given in the statutory statements required by law to be provided when such materials are sold for such use (reg. 5 and Schedule 2).The marking and labelling of materials held for sale are controlled by regulation 8 and Schedule 2. Special provision for the marking of certain imported materials is made in regulation 9.Regulation 10 provides for the use in certain cases of a mark, the meaning of which can be ascertained from a register kept in accordance with that regulation. The enforcement of certain provisions is provided for in regulation 11 and the use of metric measures in the sampling of materials is specified in regulation 12.Provisions in respect of EEC fluid fertilizers are to be found in regulations 4(1) and (5), 7(c), 9(c) and 10(1)(c), Section C of Schedule 1 and Part I of Schedule 2.
