  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:  Brazilian MRLs are established based on scientific methodology 
consisten t with international best practices. Countries usually 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 an d 
environmental factors vary. This means that Brazilian MRLs for agricultural chemicals in 
food may differ from Codex standards. However, when a product differs from Brazilian 
MRLs, but is in conformity to Codex standards, it may be imported, provided that  the risk 
assessment does not indicate an unacceptable risk to Brazilian consumers.
