The German Plant Protection Act serves the purpose of plant protection , the protection of plant products and the protection of people, animals and the ecosystem from dangers, in particular through the use of plant protection products .
In addition to general statements on plant protection, it contains regulations on the use of and traffic with plant protection products, plant protection equipment and plant strengtheners . In addition, the official monitoring and disclosure requirements are regulated.
By authorizing the government to prohibit the use of individual substances in all respects by means of a statutory ordinance, the law determines the criminal liability of (even attempted) use, placing on the market or transfer (within the EU ) of plant protection products for which a complete ban on use according to this plant protection Application regulation exists. Plant protection products with such a complete ban on use or their mixtures are to be disposed of by law and declared waste , so that any unauthorized handling of them is punishable or at least unlawful in the event of negligence.
The first Plant Protection Act was passed in Germany in 1937, and after the Second World War in 1949 in the Federal Republic and in 1953 in the GDR.
Section 12 of the PflSchG also regulates in the regulations for the use of plant protection products the period within which the product may still be used if the authorization has expired or has been revoked at the request of the authorization holder ( use-by period ).
