Pesticides (Maximum Residue Levels in Crops, Food and Feeding Stuffs) (EEC Limits) (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1999

Amendment of the principal Regulations

5.  In regulation 7 of the principal Regulations, for sub-paragraph (c) there shall be substituted—

“(c) in the case of any product specified in Schedule 2 which has been dried or processed, that Schedule shall have effect where no such maximum permitted level of pesticide residue is specified therein for the product in its dried or processed form as if the maximum permitted level of pesticide residue specified opposite the name of the product had been modified to take account of the concentration of the product caused by the drying process or, as the case may be, the dilution or concentration of the product caused by the processing;

(d) in a case where two or more products have been mixed to form a single composite food in relation to which no such maximum permitted levels are specified in Schedule 2, that Schedule shall have effect as if such maximum permitted levels had been specified in relation to that composite food for each of the pesticide residues which are specified therein opposite the names of each of the products which have been mixed to form the composite food taking into account—

(i) the relative concentrations of each of the constituent products in the mixture; and

(ii) the provisions of sub-paragraph (c).”.
