The following communication, received on 20 June 2013, is being circulated at the request of the 
Delegation of Canada.

 Established Maximum Residue Limit: Propiconazole 
The proposed maximum residue limit (PMRL) document for propiconazole notified in 
G/SPS/N/CAN/664 (dated 27 March 2013) was adopted 18 June 2013. The proposed MRLs were 
established via entry into the Maximum Residue Limits Database and are provided directly below:  
MRL (ppm) Raw Agricultural Commodity (RAC) and/or Processed Commodity 
35 Dried parsley leaves 
15 Rice bran 13 Fresh coriander leaves, fresh parsley leaves 
10 Peppermint tops, spearmint tops 
9.0 Green onion (Crop Subgroup 3-07B) 7.0 Rice
a 
5.5 Garden beet tops 
5.0 Leaf petioles (Crop Subgroup 4B) 
4.5 Pineapples 3.5 Sorghum
a 
1.5 Sugar beet molasses 
1.3 Low-growing berry (Crop Subgroup 13-07G; except strawberries)b 
1.0 Caneberry (Crop Subgroup 13-07A)c, bushberry (Crop Subgroup 13-07B; excluding 
lingonberries and lowbush blueberries)d 
0.5 Wild ricea 
0.3 Garden beet roots, sugar beet roots 0.25 Carrot roots 
0.2 Bulb onion (Crop Subgroup 3-07A), bananas, field corn
a, peanuts, plantains, 
popcorn graina, sweet corn kernels plus cob with husks removeda 
0.1 Tree nuts (Crop Group 14-11) 
ppm = parts per million 
a This action revises the established Canadian MRL of 0.05 ppm MRL. 
b Strawberries are excluded from this action as a 1.3 ppm MRL is already established on this 
commodity. 
c This action revises the established Canadian MRL of 0.7 ppm on blackberries, loganberries, 
raspberries, and adds MRLs for the remaining commodities in the expanded subgroup 13-07A. 
d This action revises the established Canadian MRL of 0.7 ppm on blueberries, currants, 
elderberries, gooseberries, huckl eberries, and adds MRLs for the remaining commodities in the 
expanded subgroup 13-07B. Lingonberries and lowbush blueberries are excluded as they are included in Subgroup 13-07G, with a higher MRL. G/SPS/N/CAN/664/Add.1

  MRLs are proposed for each commodity included 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/pe st/part/protect- proteger/food-
nourriture/mrl-lmr-eng.php "). The database allows users to search for pesticides(s) or for food 
commodity(ies).
