COUNCIL DIRECTIVE
of 24July 1986
on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on
foodstuffs of animal origin
(86/363/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 (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas crop and animal production play a very important role in the
Community;
Whereas the yield from that production is continually affected by
harmful organisms and weeds;
Whereas it is absolutely essential to protect plants, plant products and
livestock against these organisms, not only to prevent a reduction inyield but also to increase agricultural productivity;
Whereas one of the most important methods of protecting plants, plant
products and livestock from the effects of these harmful organisms is the
use of chemical pesticides;
Whereas, however, these pesticides do not have only a favourable effect
on plant and animal production, since they are generally toxicsubstances or preparations with dangerous side-effects;
Whereas a large number of these pesticides and of their metabolites or
breakdown products may have harmful effects on consumers of plantand animal products;
Whereas these pesticides and the contaminants which may accompany
them can present dangers for the environment and indirectly affect
humans through animal products;
Whereas, in order to deal with these dangers, several Member States
have already fixed maximum levels for certain pesticide residues in andon foodstuffs of animal origin;
Whereas the differences which exist between Member States with regard
to the maximum permissible levels for pesticide residues can help to
create barriers to trade and thus hinder the free movement of goods
within the Community;
Whereas, for this reason, in an initial stage, maximum levels should be
fixed for certain organochlorine compounds in meat and meat productsand milk and milk products, which must be observed when theseproducts are put into circulation;
Whereas, moreover, observance of the maximum levels will ensure that
the goods can circulate freely and that the health of consumers is
properly protected;
Whereas at the same time the Member States should be enabled to
authorize the monitoring of levels of pesticide residues in foodstuffs ofanimal origin produced and consumed in their territory by a monitoringsystem and related measures so as to provide safeguards equivalent tothose resulting from the levels laid down;1986L0363 — EN — 01.08.1997 — 006.001 — 2

(3) OJ No C 300, 18. 11. 1980, p. 29.

Whereas it is normally sufficient to apply check sampling to fresh milk
or frozen cream at the dairy or when it is put on sale to the finalconsumer; whereas, however, Member States should be authorized also
to apply check sampling to fresh milk and fresh cream at an earlier
stage;
Whereas it is not necessary to apply this Directive to products intended
for export to third countries;
Whereas Member States should be allowed to reduce temporarily the
levels laid down if they unexpectedly prove to be dangerous to human oranimal health;
Whereas it is appropriate in that case to establish close cooperation
between the Member States and the Commission within the StandingCommittee on Plant Health;
Whereas, in order to guarantee compliance with this Directive when the
foodstuffs in question are put into circulation, the Member States must
provide for suitable control measures;
Whereas Community methods of sampling and analysis should be
established to be used at least as reference methods;
Whereas methods of sampling and analysis are technical and scientific
matters, which should be determined by means of a procedure involvingclose cooperation between the Member States and the Commissionwithin the Standing Committee on Plant Health;
Whereas Council Directive 64/433/EEC of 26 June 1964 on health
problems affecting intra-Community trade in fresh meat (
1), as last
amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3768/85 (2), Council Directive 72/
462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary problems upon
importation of bovine animals and swine and fresh meat from third
countries (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3768/85, and
Council Directive 85/397/EEC of 5 August 1985 on health and animal-health problems affecting intra-Community trade in heat-treated milk (
4),
as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3768/85, provide for the fixing of
permitted limits for pesticides with regard respectively to fresh meat sent
from one Member State to another, fresh meat imported from thirdcountries and heat-treated milk sent from one Member State to another,and for the laying down of the required methods of analysis; andwhereas maximum residue levels laid down in this Directive should alsoapply for the purposes of those three Directives;
Whereas it is appropriate that Member States make an annual report to
the Commission on the results of their control measures so as to enable
information concerning levels of pesticide residues to be collected for
the Community as a whole;
Whereas the Council should review this Directive before 30 June 1991
with the aim of attaining a uniform Community system,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
Article 1
1. This Directive shall apply to the foodstuffs of animal origin listed
in Annex I, to the products obtained from them after drying or

Article 5
Where for a product belonging to a group referred to in Annex I, a
provisional maximum residue level application throughout the Commu-nity is set by the Commission in accordance with the provisions ofArticle 4 (1) (f) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (
3),
that level will be indicated in Annex II with a reference to that
procedure.
Article 5a
1. For the purposes of this Article a Member State of origin shall be
defined as the Member State in whose territory a product specified in
Article 1 (1) is either legally produced and marketed or put into free
circulation and a Member State of destination as the Member State intowhose territory such product is introduced and put into circulation foroperations other than transit to another Member State or third country.
2. Member States shall introduce arrangements for establishing
maximum residue levels, whether permanent or temporary, for productsreferred to in Article 1 (1), brought into their territories from a Member
State of origin, taking into account good agricultural practice in the
Member State of origin, and without prejudice to conditions necessary toprotect the health of consumers, in cases where no maximum residuelevels have been established for these products in accordance with theprovisions of Articles 4 (1) or 5.
3. Where
— no maximum residue level has been established for a product
referred to in Article 1 (1) in accordance with Articles 4 (1) or 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 its
putting into circulation, on the grounds that the product containspesticide residue levels in excess 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 down in its legislation, orit has made changes to its controls which are disproportionate and/ordiscriminatory compared with those for its domestic production, orthe maximum residue level applied by the Member State of
destination differs substantially from the corresponding levels

protection applied by the Member State to pesticides carrying a
similar risk or to similar agricultural products or foodstuffs,
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 Commissionwithin 20 days of their application. The notification shall documentthe facts involved;
(b) on the basis of the notification referred to in (a), the two Member
States concerned shall contact each other without delay in order to
remove, whenever possible, the prohibitive or restrictive effect of
the measures adopted by the Member State of destination by meansof measures agreed between them; the Member States shall submitall 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 theresult of such contacts and in particular the measures they intend toapply, if any, including the maximum residue level they have
agreed. The Member State of origin shall inform the other Member
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 proposal aimed
at establishing in Annex II a temporary maximum residue levelwhich shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid downin Article 12.
In its proposal, the Commission shall take account of existing
technical and scientific knowledge on the matter and in particulardata submitted by the Member States with an interest, especially thetoxicological assessment and estimated ADI, good agricultural
practice and the trial data which the Member State of origin used to
establish the maximum residue level, together with the reasons givenby the Member State of destination for deciding on the measures 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. Thatperiod may be linked to the supply, by the Member State of originand/or other Member States with an interest, of the trial data
required by the Commission in order to set the maximum residue
level in accordance with Article 4 (1). At their request, theCommission and the Member States shall be kept informedregarding the programme 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

►M3(*) Indicates lower limit of analytical determination.
(1) In the case of foodstuffs with a fat content of 10 % or less by weight, the residue is related to the total weight of the boned foodstuff. In such cases, the maximum level ►C1is one tenth of the value ◄related to fat content, but
must be no less than 0,01 mg/kg.
(2) In determining the residues in raw cow's milk and whole cream cow's milk, a fat content of 4 % by weight should be taken as a basis. For the other foodstuff s listed in Annex I under heading Nos 0401, 0402, 0405 00 and 0406:
— with a fat content of less than 2 % by weight, the maximum level is taken as half that set for raw milk and whole cream milk,— with a fat content of 2 % or more by weight, the maximum level is expressed in mg/kg of fat. In such cases, the maximum level is 25 times that set for raw milk and whole cream milk.
(
3) For eggs and egg products with a fat content higher than 10 % the maximum level is expressed in mg/kg fat. In this case the maximum level is 10 times higher than the maximum level for fresh eggs.
