Some of the appendices are missing in the English

http://www.kemi.se/upload/Lagar%20m.m/docs_eng/K98_8_eng.pdf
(see page 56, section 5 of The Chemical Products and Biotechnical
Organisms
Regulations KIFS 1998:8 ), it is not included at the above url
[though it
was formerly available with English headings in 2002].
The mention in English of the lists of pesticides prohibited
by Sweden from
1988 to 1999 reads as follows:
Under "particular Provisions on Pesticides" on page
56 it states ,
"Pesticide products which are no longer approved Section
5 (in Chapter 15)
A pesticide product which is no longer approved may no longer
be marketed or supplied by the person who last held the approval,
unless otherwise decided in a specific case by the National
Chemicals Inspectorate. Other persons may not market, supply or
use such a product after the dates given in Appendix 9."
Only four Appendices are listed, though, in this updated English
pdf
document.
