Largely ********. EU regulations do not in general forbid private
individuals from using anything they wish for whatever purpose they
choose. What they do typically forbid is the *marketing* of a particular
substance for a particular purpose, unless it is authorised for that
purpose.

It says, near the bottom "Before any PPP can be placed on the market
or used, it must be authorised in the Member State(s) concerned."

Note the inclusion of the word 'used'. So any PPP (plant protection
product) not authorised must not only not be sold, but it must not be
used. Gardeners are not excluded.

Sorry? If you want to try and interpret text, try this:-


'PPPs (also referred to as 'pesticides') are products in the form in which
they are supplied to the user, consisting of, or containing active
substances, safeners or synergists, and intended for one of the following
uses:'

Says nothing about using products not supplied or intended for that
purpose.
