Draft Law of Ukraine "On Plant Protection Products and Fertilising Products". Language(s): Ukrainian. Number of pages: 42

The draft Law aims to establish the procedures for making available on the market of plant protection products and fertilizing products in accordance with the EU regulations in force. Its purpose is to define the terminology and basic concepts on the approval of active substances, antidotes and synergists contained in the preparative forms of plant protection products, to define unacceptable coformulants that cannot be contained in plant protection products, to harmonize the procedures for making available on the market of fertilizing products and to determine the procedure for handling hazardous waste generated as a result of the use of plant protection products.

The draft Law is developed to improve the state regulation in the sphere of handling plant protection products and fertilizing products taking into account Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC, Regulation (EU) 2019/1009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 June 2019 laying down rules on the making available on the market of EU fertilizing products and amending Regulations (EC) No 1069/2009 and (EC) No 1107/2009 and repealing Regulation (EC) No 2003/2003.

It is established that all valid pesticide registrations made in accordance with the Law of Ukraine "On Pesticides and Agrochemicals" and effective as of the date of entry into force of this Law, will remain valid until the expiration of the registration period without the need for approval of an antidote or synergist active substance that is part of the preparative form.

The Law of Ukraine "On Pesticides and Agrochemicals" will become invalid from the date of enactment of this Law. The draft Law is also notified in accordance with the provisions of the TBT Agreement (in terms of establishing mechanisms for conformity assessment of fertilizing products).
