Summary
This consultation is being carried out by the Chemicals Regulation Directorate of HSE on behalf of Defra.
It concerns the approach to be taken in implementing a Directive on the Sustainable use of Pesticides (Directive 2009/128/EC) and two provisions in a Regulation on Plant Protection Product Authorisations (Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009) which may need to be implemented by domestic legislation.

This consultation will be of interest to a wide range of stakeholders: members of the public; all users of pesticides including home/garden products; local authorities and other public and government bodies; the agriculture and horticulture industries; businesses and organisations involved in amenity use of pesticides; trade associations; farming unions; businesses involved in the manufacture, supply and use of pesticides; and non-governmental organisations, consumer and rural groups.
