  7. Objective and rationale: [X]  food safety, [  ] animal health, [  ] plant protection, 
[ ] protect humans from animal/plant pest or disease, [  ] protect territory from 
other damage from pests.   
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 p atterns 
differ between different production regions and countries as pests, diseases and 
environmental factors vary. This means that Brazilian MRLs for agricultural chemicals in 
food may differ from Codex standards.
