COUNCILDIRECTIVE
of23November1976
relating to the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in
andonfruitandvegetables
(76/895/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic
Community, and in particular Articles 43 and 100 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social
Committee(2),
Whereas crop productionplays animportan t role inthe European
Economic Community;
Whereas the yield from that production is continually affected by
harmful organisms of either animal or vegetable origin and also by
viruses;
Whereas it is absolutely essential to protect plants against these organ-
isms, not only to prevent a reduction in yield but also to increase
agricultural productivity;
Whereas one of the most important methods of protecting plants and
plant products from the effect of these harmful organisms is by theuse of chemical pesticides;
Whereas, however, these pesticides do not have only a favourable
effect on plant production, since they are generally toxic substances orpreparations with dangerous side effects;
Whereas a large number of these pesticides and of their metabolized or
breakdown products may have harmful effects on consumers of plantproducts;
Whereas these pesticides should not be used in circumstances which
could present a risk to human or animal life;
Whereas different methods exist in certain Member States for avoiding
this risk; whereas some of these States have fixed different levels for
the maximum content of the residues of certain pesticides in or on
treated plants and plant products which must be observed when theseproducts are put into circulation;
Whereas the differences which exist between Member States for the
maximum permissible levels for pesticide residues canhelp to create
barriers to trade and thus hinder the free movement of goods withinthe Community; whereas for this reason certain maximum levelsshould be fixed which may be applied by the Member States;
Whereas in fixing these maximum levels the requirements of plant
production and the need to protect human and animal health must bereconciled;
Whereas, initially, maximum levels should be fixed for the residues of
certain pesticides in and on fruit and vegetables taking into account the
fact that fruit and vegetables are generally intended for humanconsumption and, on occasions, for animal feed; whereas thesemaximum levels must represent the lowest possible levels;
Whereas the free circulationthroughout the Commun ity of products
with a level of residue of certainpesticides less thanor equal to themaxima fixed in Annex II should be assured; whereas at the same1976L0895 — EN — 04.11.2002 — 018.001 — 2

(2) OJ No C 40, 25. 3. 1969, p. 4.

time Member States should be allowed to permit the circulationintheir
territory, without discrimination and in cases where they consider thisjustified, of products which have a content higher than the said maxima
either by fixing or by refraining from fixing maximum levels for them;
Whereas it is not necessary to apply the provisions of this Directive to
fruit and vegetables intended for export to third countries;
Whereas, nevertheless, the maximum levels fixed in Annex II could
unexpectedly prove dangerous to human or animal health; whereas
Member States should therefore be allowed inthat case to reduce
temporarily these levels;
Whereas it is appropriate inthat case to establish close cooperation
between the Member States and the Commission within a StandingCommittee on Plant Protection;
Whereas, where Member States fix maximum content levels for
products marketed ontheir territory they should make certainthat theselevels are observed by means of official checks, consisting, at least, ofsampling;
Whereas, inthat case, the official checks should be made by usin g
Community methods of sample-taking and Community methods of
analysis;
Whereas the fixing of methods of sampling and analysis is a technical
and scientific implementing measure; whereas in order to facilitate theadoption thereof, the rules relating to those samples and analysesshould be laid down by means of a procedure establishing close coop-
erationbetweenthe Member States an d the Commissionwithinthe
Standing Committee on Plant Protection;
Whereas any amendment to the Annexes should, in view of their basi-
cally technical nature, be made easier by an accelerated procedure,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
Article 1
1. This Directive concerns products intended for human or, in
exceptional cases, animal consumption listed under the CommonCustoms Tariff headings set out in Annex I and in or on which are
found the pesticide residues listed in Annex II.
2. This Directive shall also apply to the same products after drying
or processing or after inclusion in a composite food in so far as theymay contain certain pesticide residues.
3. This Directive shall apply without prejudice to Commission
Directive 91/321/EEC of 14 May 1991 on infant formulae and follow-
onformulae(
1) and Commission Directive 96/5/EC of 16 February
1996 on processed cereal-based foods and baby foods for infants andyoung children(
2). However, until maximum levels have been estab-
lished in accordance with the provisions of Article 6 of Directive 91/321/EEC or Article 6 of Directive 96/5/EC the provisions of Article
5a (1) and (3) to (6) of this Directive shall apply for the products
concerned.
Article 2
For the purposes of this Directive:1. ‘pesticide residues’ shall meanresidues of the pesticides an d of their
metabolites, and breakdown or reaction products as defined in1976L0895 — EN — 04.11.2002 — 018.001 — 3

whether or not for a consideration, of the products referred to inArticle 1.
Article 3
1. Member States may not prohibit or impede the putting on the
market withintheir territories of the products referred to inArticle 1on the ground that they contain pesticide residues if the quantity of
these residues does not exceed the maximum levels laid down in
Annex II.
2. Member States may, incases where they con sider this justified,
authorize the circulationwithintheir territories of products referred toinArticle 1 which con tainpesticide residues higher thanthose laiddown in Annex II.
3. Member States shall inform the other Member States and the
Commission of any implementation of paragraphs 1 and 2.
Article 4
1. Where a Member State, as a result of new information or of a
reassessment of existing information considers that a maximum level
fixed in Annex II endangers human or animal health, and thereforerequires swift actionto be taken , that Member State may temporarilyreduce the level inits ownterritory. Inthat case, it shall immediatelynotify the other Member States and the Commission of the measures
taken, attaching a statement of the reasons therefor.
2. Inaccordan ce with the products laid downinArticle 8, it shall be
decided whether the maximum levels laid down in Annex II are to beamended. Until such time as a decision is taken by the Council or theCommission in accordance with the abovementioned procedure, theMember State may maintain the measures which it has implemented.
Article 5
Amendments to Annexes I and II as a result of developments in scien-
tific or technical knowledge shall be adopted in accordance with the
procedure laid downinArticle 7. Inparticular, whenestablishin gmaximum residue levels, account shall be taken of a relevant dietaryintake risk assessment and of the number and quality of the data avail-able.
Article 5a
1. For the purposes of this Article a Member State of originshall be
defined as the Member State in whose territory a product specified inArticle 1 (1) and (2) is either legally produced and marketed or put into
free circulation, and a Member State of destination as the Member
State into whose territory such product is introduced and put into circu-lation for operations other than transit to another Member State or thirdcountry.
2. Member States shall introduce arrangements for establishing
maximum residue levels, whether permanent or temporary, for products
referred to in Article 1 (1) and (2), brought into their territories from a
Member State of origin, taking into account good agricultural practicein the Member State of origin, and without prejudice to conditionsnecessary to protect the health of consumers, in cases where nomaximum residue levels have beenestablished for these products inaccordance with Article 5.1976L0895 — EN — 04.11.2002 — 018.001 — 4

3. Where
— no maximum residue level has been established for a product
referred to in Article 1 (1) and (2) in accordance with Article 5, and
— that product, which satisfies the maximum residue levels applied by
its Member State of origin, has been subjected in the Member State
of destination to measures whose effect is to prohibit or restrict itsputting into circulation, on the grounds that the product containspesticide residue levels inexcess of the maximum residue levelaccepted in the Member State of destination, and
— either the Member State of destination has introduced new
maximum residue levels or has altered the levels laid downinits
legislation, or it has made changes to its controls which are dispro-portionate and/or discriminatory compared with those for itsdomestic production, or the maximum residue level applied by theMember State of destination differs substantially from the corre-
sponding levels established by other Member States, or the
maximum residue level applied by the Member State of destinationrepresents a disproportionate level of protection compared with thelevel of protectionapplied by the Member State to pesticidescarrying a similar risk or to similar agricultural products or food-stuffs,
the following exceptional provisions shall apply:
(a) the Member State of destination shall communicate the measures
adopted to the other Member State concerned and the Commission
within 20 days of their application. The notification shall document
the facts involved;
(b) onthe basis of the n otificationreferred to in(a), the two Member
States concerned shall contact each other without delay in order toremove, whenever possible, the prohibitive or restrictive effect ofthe measures adopted by the Member State of destination by meansof measures agreed betweenthem; the Member States shall submit
all the requisite information to each other.
Within a period of three months of the notification referred to in
(a), the Member States concerned shall inform the Commission of
the result of such contacts and in particular the measures theyintend to apply, if any, including the maximum residue level theyhave agreed. The Member State of originshall in form the otherMember States of the result of such contacts;
(c) the Commission shall immediately refer the matter to the Standing
Committee on Plant Health and, if possible, submit a proposalaimed at establishing in Annex II a temporary maximum residue
level, which shall be adopted inaccordan ce with the procedure
laid downinArticle 7.
In its proposal, the Commission shall take account of existing tech-
nical and scientific knowledge on the matter and in particular datasubmitted by the Member States with anin terest, especially thetoxicological assessment and estimated ADI, good agriculturalpractice and the trial data which the Member State of origin used
to establish the maximum residue level, together with the reasons
given by the Member State of destination for deciding on themeasures inquestion .
The period of validity of the temporary maximum level shall be
laid down in the legal act adopted and may not exceed four years.That period may be linked to the supply, by the Member State oforigin and/or other Member States with an interest, of the trial datarequired by the Commissioninorder to set the maximum residue
level inaccordan ce with Article 5. At their request, the Commis-
sion and the Member States shall be kept informed regarding theprogramme of trials established.
4. Any measure provided for in paragraphs 2 or 3 shall be taken by
a Member State with due regard for its obligations under the Treaty, in
particular Articles 30 to 36 thereof.
