Banned from domestic use in 2003 under EU biocidal products regulation due to environment and health issues (col tar based). Still available for commercial use (railway sleepers, telegraph poles, agricultural fencing). A further increase in the ban is coming in early 2005 except for railway sleepers and telegraph poles.
