Recital 14

Plant protection products, also referred to as pesticides, are subject to specific provisions for their authorisation at national level, based on Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council1, and should therefore also be excluded from the scope of this Regulation.

  1. 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 (OJ L 309, 24.11.2009, p. 1). ↩︎
