Abstract The Regulations continue to implement the provisions of the Directive by providing for the authorisation system in England and Wales under the operation of the Secretary of State. In the Regulations authorisations are described as approvals. The Regulations impose a prohibition on the placing on the market and use of plant protection products unless they have been approved by the Secretary of State under the Regulations and are placed on the market and used in accordance with any conditions or requirements specified in their approval (reg. 3(1) and (2)). Persons intending to place new active substances on the market must apply to the Secretary of State for such substances to be included in Annex I (reg. 3(3) and 4(1)). Applications for standard, provisional and emergency approvals of plant protection products and applications for approval of plant protection products already authorised under the Directive for use in another EEA State are made to the Secretary of State by the persons responsible for first placing the products on the market in England and Wales (reg. 5 to 8, 11 and 13). Similarly, applications for approvals for trial purposes are made to the Secretary of State (reg. 9). The provisions of the Directive concerning extensions of the range of application of approved plant protection products and the provisions requiring the notification of potentially dangerous effects of approved plant protection products are respectively incorporated in regulations 10 and 14.
