The UK government is in advanced negotiations with the EU on a proposed SPS agreement.
If you work with pesticides and an agreement is reached, you are likely to see changes to the rules you must follow. This includes:
- active substance approvals
- product authorisations
- maximum residue levels
You can find out more about the proposed agreement in the GOV.UK news story: UK-EU SPS Agreement - Information for Businesses.
Please check this page regularly, as we will update it when more information becomes available.
We will also include information about the agreement in our eBulletin.
