AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This corrigendum corrects two technical errors in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2024/2770. The first correction removes an erroneous reference to Annex I from the application date provision, so that only point 1 of Annex II applies from 17 October 2028. The second correction deletes specific subparagraphs (i) through (iv) in a cross-reference within Annex II, point 2, simplifying the condition under which end-users must be instructed not to use certain EU fertilising products in contact with soil and to ensure proper disposal. These changes concern biodegradability requirements for polymers used as coating agents and water retention materials in fertilising products.
