 2001: 54.216 toneladas 
 2002: 52.017 toneladas  Media: 56.444 toneladas  Cálculo del nivel de activación (de conformidad con el artículo 5 del Acuerdo sobre la Agricultura): 
 
Penetración de las  importaciones = 1.284/56.444   = 2,3% (por lo tanto, el nivel de activación de base es del 125%)  Nivel de activación = (125% x 1.284 tonelad as) + (52.017 toneladas - 54-216 toneladas) 
  = 0 toneladas < 105%  de la media de las importaciones = 1.348 toneladas 
 Por lo tanto, el nivel de activación es de 1.348 toneladas.

5. Description of content:  The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is soliciting
comments on a proposed pesticide policy guidance document entitled "Guidance for
Identifying Pesticide Chemicals that have a Common Mechanism of Toxicity, for Use in
Assessing the Cumulative Toxic Effects of Pesticides".  This guidance document was
developed by EPA in response to the recent amendments to the Federal Insecticide,Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the Federal Food, Drug, and Cometic Act
(FFDCA) as promulgated by the Food Qualit y Protection Act of 1996 (FQPA).  These
amendments require EPA to consider in their process of determining safety of a given
pesticide the possibility of cumulative toxic effects resulting from aggregate exposure to the
pesticide and other pesticides that are toxic from a common mechanism.  Hence, in
assessing the risk posed by a given pesticide, EPA must also assess the combined risks to
human health that can result from exposure to the pesticide and other pesticides that have acommon mechanism of toxicity.  The guidance document describes the approach that EPA
will use for identifying and categorizing pesticide chemicals that have common mechanisms
of toxicity for purposes of assessing the cumulative toxic effects of such pesticides.
