		Aldrin & dieldrin	Binapacryl	Bromopropylate	Camphechlor (Toxaphene)	Captafol	Chlordane	1,2-Dibromoethane	1,2-Dichloroethane	Dinoseb	Ethylene oxide	HCH (Hexachlorocyclohexane)	Hexachlorobenzene	Mercury compounds	Nitrofen
		Applying from 26 January 2005	Applying from 26 January 2005	Applying from 25 October 2004	Applying from 26 January 2005	Applying from 26 January 2005	Applying from 26 January 2005	Applying from 26 January 2005	Applying from 26 January 2005	Applying from 26 January 2005	Applying from 26 January 2005	Applying from 26 January 2005	Applying from 26 January 2005	Applying from 26 January 2005	Applying from 26 January 2005
UNITS: Maximum residue levels (MRLs) are expressed in milligrammes of residue per kilogramme of food. KEY: * Level at or about the limit of determination. FOOTNOTES:
(1) Paddy or rough rice, husked rice and semi-milled or wholly milled rice.
(2) Other cereals do not include rice.
(3) 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.
(4) These levels are for fresh raw cow’s milk and fresh whole cream cow’s milk expressed on the whole milk.
(5) 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 of 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
(6) Birds' eggs in shell (other than eggs for hatching) and whole egg products and egg yolk products (whether fresh, dried or otherwise prepared)
(7) For eggs and egg products with a fat content higher than 10%, the maximum level is expressed in mg/kg fat. In this case, the maximum level is 10 times higher than the maximum level for fresh eggs.
(8) All meat except poultrymeat.
(35) Scarole includes broad-leaf endive.
(40) Where there are columns the MRLs relate to the sum of alpha isomers (left hand column) and the sum of beta isomers (right hand column).
1. Fruit, fresh, dried or uncooked, preserved by freezing not containing added sugar: nuts"

Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations, which extend to Scotland only, further amend the provisions of the Pesticides (Maximum Residue Levels in Crops, Food and Feeding Stuffs) (Scotland) Regulations 2000 (“the principal Regulations”).

The Regulations implement Commission Directive 2004/59/EC (O.J. No. L 120, 24.4.04, p.30) and Commission Directive 2004/61/EC (O.J. No. L 127, 29.4.04, p.81).

The Regulations remove references to the pesticide Omethoate and its residues from the principal Regulations to implement Commission Directive 2002/71/EC (O.J. No. L 225, 22.8.02, p.21) (regulation 2(2)(a) and (4)(c)).

With effect from 25th October 2004, the Regulations set new maximum residue levels for the pesticide Bromopropylate (regulation 2(4)(d) and Schedule 1).

With effect from 26th January 2005, the Regulations introduce maximum residue levels for the pesticides 1,2 Dichloroethane, Ethylene oxide and Nitrofen (regulations 2(2)(c) and 2(4)(f) and Schedule 1).

With effect from 26th January 2005, the Regulations set new maximum residue levels for the pesticides Aldrin and dieldrin, Binapacryl, Camphechlor (Toxaphene), Captafol, Chlordane, 1 2 Dibromoethane, Dinoseb, HCH (Hexachlorocyclohexane), Hexachlorobenzene and Mercury compounds (regulation 2(2)(b), (c), (3), (4)(e), (f) and (g) and Schedule 1). HCH (Hexachlorocyclohexane) was previously known as Hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) and Hexachlorobenzene was previously known as Hexachlorobenzene (HCB). The maximum residue levels for the pesticides Chlordane and Mercury compounds, and most of the maximum residue levels for Aldrin and dieldrin, were previously set nationally.

With effect from 26th January 2005, the Regulations insert new definitions of the residues of the pesticides Aldrin and dieldrin, Camphechlor (Toxaphene), Chlordane and Mercury compounds (regulation 2(2)(d)).

The Regulations amend the maximum residue levels of Aramite and Diphenylamine on papaya to implement Commission Directive 2000/24/EC (O.J. No. L 107, 4.5.00, p.28) and Commission Directive 2000/57/EC (O.J. No. L 244, 29.9.00, p.76) respectively (regulation 2(4)(a) and (b)).

These Regulations also update the definition of “Residue Directives” in the principal Regulations (by substituting Schedule 5 to the principal Regulations) to incorporate Commission Directives 2004/59/EC and 2004/61/EC (regulation 2(5) and Schedule 2).

Regulation 3 makes consequential revocations.

No Regulatory Impact Assessment has been produced in relation to these Regulations.
