UK fertilisers: regulatory reform

The United Kingdom (UK) government, Scottish Government, Welsh Government and the Northern Ireland Executive (referred to collectively as ‘all four governments’) have worked together to produce this consultation and call for evidence, which focuses on proposals to repeal existing fertilisers legislation and replace it with a new regulatory framework (the ‘UK Fertilising Product Regulations’ (“UK FPR”)) for placing fertilising products on the market in the UK. Reform of UK fertilisers legislation aims to support innovation in the fertiliser sector, by smoothing the route to market for newer and novel fertilising products which are less polluting to the environment or are less resource intensive in their creation. As well as increasing user confidence in a more diverse range of safe and effective fertilising products. Bac
