Addendum  
The following communication, received on 25 August 2016, is being circulated at the request of the 
Delegation of Canada .

Established Maximum Residue Limit: Trifloxystrobin  
The proposed maximum residue limit (PMRL) document for trifloxystrobin notified in 
G/SPS/N/CAN/1023 (dated 31 May 2016) was adopted 23 August 2016. The proposed MRLs were 
established via entry into the Maximum Residue Limits Database and are provided directly below:  
MRL (ppm ) Raw Agricultural Com modity (RAC) and/or Processed Commodity  
30 Leafy greens (Crop Subgroup 4A), Leafy Brassica greens (Crop Subgroup 5B)  
9.01 Leaf petioles (Crop Subgroup 4B)  
2.0 Head and stem Brassica (Crop Subgroup 5A)  
0.062 Dried shelled pea and bean (Crop Subgroup 6C, exc ept soybeans)  
0.053 Cereal grains (Crop Group 15, except sweet corn, rice, and sorghum)  
ppm = parts per million  
1 The new crop subgroup MRL will replace the existing crop subgroup MRL of 3.5 ppm  
2 The new MRL of 0.06 ppm (to cover trifloxystrobin and the a cid metabolite CGA -321113) will replace the 
existing MRL of 0.02 ppm (to cover trifloxystrobin), based on the new foliar use pattern.  
3 The MRL is proposed to be extended to the entire cereal grains crop group 15.  
MRLs are established for each commodity in cluded in the listed crop groupings in accordance with 
the Residue Chemistry Crop Groups  webpage ( http://www.hc -sc.gc.ca/cps -spc/pest/part/protect -
proteger/food -nourriture/rccg -gcpcr -eng.php ) in the Pesticides and Pest Management section of 
Health Canada's website.  
MRLs established in Canada may be found using Health Canada's Maximum Residue Limit 
Database  (http://pr -rp.hc-sc.gc.ca/mrl -lrm/index -eng.php ) on the Maximum Residue Limits for 
Pesticides  webpage ( http://www.hc -sc.gc.ca/cps -spc/pest/part/protect -proteger/food -
nourriture/mrl -lmr-eng.php ). The database allows users to search for pesticide(s) or for food 
commodity(ies).
