6. Description of content:  This Draft resolution incorporates the following changes for the 
active ingredient A48.1 - CLORIDRATO DE AVIGLICINA (aviglycine) from the Relation of 
Monographies of Active In gredients of Pesticides, Household Cleaning Products and Wood 
Preservers:  
− changes the safety security period of the applie culture from 28 to 7 days in the 
modality of foliar use (application);  
− includes the apple culture with MRL of 0,05 mg/kg and safety s ecurity period of

  8. Is there a relevant international standard? If so, identify the standard:  
[X] Codex Alimentarius Commission (e.g.  title or serial number of Codex 
standard or related text) : CAC/MRL 1 Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) for 
Pesticides  
[ ] World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) (e.g.  Terrestrial or Aquatic 
Animal Health Code, chapter number) :  
[ ] International Plant Protection Convention (e.g.  ISPM number) :  
[ ] None  
Does this proposed regulation conform to the relevant international standard?  
[ ] Yes   [X] No  
If no, describe, whenever possible, how and why it deviates from the 
international standard:  The scientific methodology used by Brazil to establish MRLs is 
consistent with international best practice. Countries set  MRLs according to the good 
agricultural practice (GAP) applicable to their region. Agricultural chemical use patterns 
differ between different production regions and countries as pests, diseases and 
environmental factors vary. This means that Brazilian MR Ls for agricultural chemicals in 
food may differ from Codex standards.
