Abstract

The present Act lays down provisions relating to integrated pest management. For the purpose of this Act "adverse effect" means harm to humans, animals or the environment. Moreover, the Act contains at the outset a definition clause relating to various terms therein employed, such as “administrator”, “animal”, “appeal board”, “applicant”, “certificate”, “committee”, “integrated pest management”, “licence”, “permi”t, “pest, pest management plan”. The central provision of this Act is, however, contained in Section 3 which rules that a person must not use a pesticide that causes or is likely to cause, or use, handle, release, transport, store, dispose of or sell a pesticide in a manner that causes or is likely to cause, an unreasonable adverse effect. The text consists of sections divided into 7 Parts as follows: Interpretation (1); Prohibitions and authorizations of pesticide use and sale (2); Administration (3); Appeals to the Environment Appeal Board (4); Compliance (5); General (6); Transitional and consequential provisions (7).
