UNITS: Maximum residue levels (MRLs) are expressed in milligrammes of residue per kilogramme of food. KEY: * Level at or about the limit of determination.

Pyrimethanil to Ziram

Group to which food belongs	Groups include the following products	Pyrimethanil	Quinoxyfen	Rimsulfuron		Thiram(53)		Ziram(53)
(1) Paddy or rough rice, husked rice and semi-milled or wholly milled rice.
(2) Levels are measured on fat, except in the case of foods with a fat content of 10% or less by weight. In these cases the residue is related to the total weight of the boned foodstuff and the MRL is one tenth of the value given in the table, but must be no less than 0.01 mg/kg.
(3) These levels are for fresh raw cow’s milk and fresh whole cream cow’s milk expressed on the whole milk.
(4) For preserved, concentrated or sweetened cow’s milk; for raw milk and whole cream milk of another animal origin; and for butter, cheese or curd. Whether made from cow’s milk or other milk or a combination, the following levels apply:
-if the fat content is less than 2% by weight, the MRL is taken as half that set for raw milk and whole cream milk;
-if the fat content is 2% or more by weight, the MRL is expressed in mg/kg of fat and is set at 25 times that set for raw milk and whole cream milk.
(5) Birds’ eggs in shell (other than eggs for hatching) and whole egg products and egg yolk products (whether fresh, dried or otherwise prepared).
(6) Scarole includes broad-leaf endive.
(13) Broccoli includes calabrese.
(53) These maximum residue levels apply when single residue methods are employed for the specific quantification of Propineb, Thiram or Ziram, as the case may be.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of these Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Pesticides (Maximum Residue Levels in Crops, Food and Feeding Stuffs) (England and Wales) Regulations 2005 (S.I. 2005/3286) (“the 2005 Regulations”) in order to transpose—

(a) Commission Directive 2007/55/EC amending certain Annexes to Council Directives 76/895/EEC, 86/362/EEC, 86/363/EEC and 90/642/EEC as regards maximum residue levels for azinphos-methyl (OJ No L 243, 18.9.2007, p. 41);

(b) Commission Directive 2007/56/EC amending certain Annexes to Council Directives 86/362/EEC, 86/363/EEC and 90/642/EEC as regards maximum residue levels for azoxystrobin, chlorothalonil, deltamethrin, hexachlorobenzene, ioxynil, oxamyl and quinoxyfen (OJ No L 243, 18.9.2007, p. 50);

(c) Commission Directive 2007/57/EC amending certain Annexes to Council Directives 76/895/EEC, 86/362/EEC, 86/363/EEC and 90/642/EEC as regards maximum residue levels for dithiocarbamates (OJ No L 243, 18.9.2007, p. 61); and

(d) Commission Directive 2007/62/EC amending certain Annexes to Council Directives 86/362/EEC and 90/642/EEC as regards maximum residue levels for bifenazate, pethoxamid, pyrimethanil and rimsulfuron (OJ No L 260, 5.10.2007, p. 4).

These Regulations substitute or insert—

(a) residue definitions for certain pesticides in Schedule 1 to the 2005 Regulations which identify the pesticide residues that are taken into account in the measuring of residue levels for each pesticide; and

(b) maximum residue levels for certain pesticides in Schedule 2 to the 2005 Regulations.

A Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) was prepared for the 2005 Regulations and provides a basis for establishing the impact of amendments of the kind made by these Regulations. A consultation in 2003 indicated that compliance costs were virtually unchanged from those quoted in an RIA prepared in 1999. Copies of the RIA prepared in 2005 can be obtained from the Pesticides Safety Directorate, Room 308, Mallard House, Kings Pool, 3 Peasholme Green, York, YO1 7PX or via the website www.pesticides.gov.uk. Copies have been placed in the library of each House of Parliament.
