Amendment 49 #
Proposal for a regulation
Title 1
Title 1
Proposal for a REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL laying down rules on the making available on the market of CE marked fertilisingers and improving nutrition efficiency products (INEP) and amending Regulations (EC) No 1069/2009 and (EC) No 1107/2009 (Text with EEA relevance) ("fertiliser" should be removed throughout the text for those products intended to improve nutrition efficiency of plants.)
Amendment 83 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 16
Recital 16
(16) Products withplaced on the market which have an intended use for one or more functions, at least one of which is covered by the scope of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, shoulare plant protection products and remain under the control tailored for such products and provided for by that Regulation. Where such products also have the function of a fertilising product, it would be misleading to provide for their CE marking under this Regulation, since the making available on the market of a plant protection product is contingent on a product authorisation valid in the Member State in question. Therefore, such products should be excluded from the scope of this Regulation.
