I move amendment No. 1:

In page 7, between lines 21 and 22, to insert the following:

“(4) Part 3 comes into operation on such day or days as the Minister may appoint by order or orders either generally or, in relation to the amendments to the Fertilisers Feeding Stuffs and Mineral Mixtures Act 1955 effected by that Part, with reference to any particular purpose or provision and different days may be so appointed for different purposes or different provisions.”.

My amendment is necessary as it provides greater flexibility and control in the timing of submissions to be uploaded on to the national fertiliser database by economic operators and end users. Furthermore, the amendment provides flexibility, if needed, to allow the sequencing of registration requirements for registration as a professional end user and fertiliser economic operators. My amendment is straightforward and practical.
