6. Description of content:  The draft Law aims to establ ish 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, an tidotes 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 fertiliz ing 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, Reg ulation (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 o f the registration period without the need 
for approval of an antidote or synergist active substance that is part of the preparative 
form.  G/SPS/N/UKR /193/Rev.1
