the sprayer point is a classic, the cost of annual mots just another reason making it less and less viable to be kept on the smaller acreage, ok no problem on bigger outffits and more work for the contractor i guess ......oh hang on a minute ...hmmI don't think anybody is asking for UK legislation to be rolled back. I am only asking for RT rules to roll back to be equal to UK legislation and for imported products to meet the same UK legislation.
As a simple example my sprayer should only be tested once every 3 years in line with UK legislation, not annually as presently required by RT. All imported cereals should also be produced using sprayers that are tested at least once every 3 years which would comply with UK legislation.
To me this would be simple and fair. We wouldn't be at a competitive disadvantage with imports or paying for something that doesn't bring a return or exceeds actual legal requirements. If the government thinks sprayers should be tested every year, then change the law. I respect and live under the rule of law. I am not so keen on accepting rules made up by a commercial organisation that has no real mandate.
Btw. to whom it may concern, ive had my spraying ticket for 30 yrs as well so know whats what as well as the engineering side.
