Extension of Authorisation for minor use in Great Britain and Northern Ireland (formerly known as 'SOLAs')
As Extensions of Authorisations for minor use conditions will not be given on the product label provided by pesticide manufacturers it is essential that anyone who needs to use a pesticide product in accordance with an Extension of Authorisation must read the text of the Extension of Authorisation before commencing any spraying operation.
