COUNCIL DIRECTIVE
of 27 November 1990
on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on
certain products of plant origin, including fruit and vegetables
(90/642/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic
Community, and in particular Article 43 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 production plays a very important role in the Community:Whereas the yield from that production is continually affected by
harmful organisms and weeds;
Whereas it is essential to protect plants and plant products against these
organisms, not only to prevent a reduction in yield or damage to the
products harvested but also to increase agricultural productivity;
Whereas one of the most important methods of protecting plants and
plant products from the effects of these organisms is the use of chemical
pesticides; whereas, however, mandatory maximum levels should be set
as low as is consistent with good agricultural practice;
Whereas, however, their favourable effect on plant production is not the
only effect of these pesticides, since they are generally dangerous
substances 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 plant
products; whereas these pesticides should not be used in circumstances
which present a risk to human or animal health and to the environment;
Whereas the Community should encourage the use of alternative, organic
farming methods;
Whereas Council Directive 76/895/EEC of 23 November 1976 relating to
the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on fruit and
vegetables (
4), as last amended by Directive 89/186/EEC (5), fixes
maximum levels for the said residues and ensures the free movement
throughout the Community of products with levels less than, or equal to,
these maximum levels; whereas, however, the said Directive permits
Member States, in cases where they consider this justified, to authorize
products containing levels higher than the maximum levels to be put into
circulation within their own territories;
Whereas this last provision leads in some cases to continuing differences
between Member States as regards the maximum permissible levels for
these pesticide residues, which can help to create barriers to trade and
thus hinder the free movement of goods within the Community; whereas,
with a view to achieving the single market in 1992, these barriers should
be removed;!B

(2) OJ No C 260, 15. 10. 1990, p. 56.
(3) OJ No C 329, 30. 12. 1989, p. 11.

Whereas, for these reasons, the possibility for Member States to
authorize higher levels should be withdrawn and maximum levels
mandatory in all Member States should be fixed for certain active
substances in and on fruit and vegetables, which must be observed when
these products are put into circulation;
Whereas, again with a view to ensuring the free movement of goods
within the Community, mandatory maximum levels should also be fixed
for certain pesticides in and on certain other products of plant origin;
Whereas, moreover, observance of the maximum levels will ensure that
products can move freely and that the health of consumers and of animals
is properly protected;
Whereas, however, the determination of mandatory maximum levels for
pesticide residues requires lengthy technical consideration, so that such
levels cannot be imposed immediately upon the pesticide residues
regulated by Directive 76/895/EEC;
Whereas it is therefore necessary to adopt separate rules providing for
these mandatory maximum levels, with a view to transferring pesticide
residues from Directive 76/895/EEC to these separate rules progressively
as mandatory levels are determined for them;
Whereas, accordingly, this Directive does not affect Directive
76/895/EEC, which shall continue to apply to certain pesticide residues
not subject to this Directive;
Whereas the establishment of a list of pesticide residues and their
maximum levels is a matter falling within the competence of the
Council; whereas, however, this list should not include pesticide residues
still covered by Directive 76/895/EEC;
Whereas it is appropriate to apply this Directive to products intended for
export to third countries, except in certain cases where it can be
established that importing countries require particular treatments which
would necessitate higher maximum levels than those fixed for the
Community pursuant to this Directive; whereas, however, it is not
appropriate to apply this Directive to products intended for the
manufacture of products other than foodstuffs and feedingstuffs, or for
sowing or planting;
Whereas, in order to guarantee compliance with this Directive when
products are put into circulation, Member States must take suitable
control measures; whereas the necessary inspections should be
programmed, carried out and their results reported in accordance with
Council Directive 89/397/EEC of 14 June 1989 on the official inspection
of foodstuffs (1);
Whereas Community methods of sampling and analysis should be
established and, in the case of analysis methods, used at least as reference
methods; whereas the establishment of these methods is a technical and
scientific implementing measure which should be determined by means
of a procedure involving close cooperation between the Member States
and the Commission within the Standing Committee on Plant Health;
whereas the analysis methods should comply with the criteria set out in
the Annex to Council Directive 85/591/EEC of 20 December 1985
concerning the introduction of Community methods of sampling and
analysis for the monitoring of foodstuffs intended for human con-
sumption (2);
Whereas future modifications of the list of products of plant origin in or
on which pesticide residues may be present must be adopted by the
Council;
Whereas Member States should be allowed to reduce temporarily the
levels laid down if they subsequently prove dangerous to human or
animal health; whereas it is appropriate in these cases also to establish
close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission
within the Standing Committee on Plant Health,!B

HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
Article 1
1. This Directive shall apply to products within the groups specified in
column 1 of the Annex, examples of which are given in column 2, in so
far as products in these groups, or the parts of product described in
column 3, may contain certain pesticide residues.
The list of pesticide residues concerned and their maximum levels shall
be established by the Council, acting by a qualified majority on a
proposal from the Commission. A pesticide residue shall not be included
on the list for as long as a maximum level is fixed for it by Directive
76/895/EEC.
2. This Directive shall apply without prejudice to:(a) the provisions of Council Directive 64/54/EEC of 5 November 1963
on the approximation of the laws of the Member States concerning
the preservatives authorized for use in foodstuffs intended for human
consumption (
1), as last amended by Directive 85/585/EEC (2),
relating to biphenyl (diphenyl), orthophenylphenol, sodium ortho-
phenyl phenate and 2-(4-thiazolyl)-benzimidazole (thiabendazole),
which shall continue to regulate the use of those substances until
they and their maximum levels are included in the list referred to in
paragraph 1;
(b) the provisions of Council Directive 74/63/EEC of 17 December 1973
on the fixing of maximum permitted levels for undesirable
substances and products in feedingstuffs (3), as last amended by
Directive 87/519/EEC (4);
(c) the provisions of Directive 76/895/EEC;(d) the provisions of Council Directive 86/362/EEC of 24 July 1986 on
the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on
cereals (
5), as last amended by Directive 88/298/EEC (6).
3. This Directive shall also apply to products referred to in paragraph 1
intended for export to third countries. However, maximum pesticide
residue levels set in accordance with this Directive shall not apply in the
case of products treated before export where it can be satisfactorily
proved that:
(a) the third country of destination requires that particular treatment in
order to prevent the introduction of harmful organisms into its
territory; or
(b) the treatment is necessary in order to protect the products against
harmful organisms during transport to the third country of
destination and storage there.
4. This Directive shall not apply to the products referred to in
paragraph 1 where it can be established by appropriate evidence that they
are intended for:
(a) the manufacture of products other than foodstuffs and animal feed;
or
(b) sowing or planting.
Article 2
For the purposes of this Directive:
(a) ‘pesticide residues’ shall mean residues of the pesticides and of their
metabolites, and breakdown or reaction products, included in the list!B

referred to in Article 1, which are present in or on the products
referred to in the said Article;
(b) ‘putting into circulation’ shall mean any post-harvest handing over,
whether or not for a consideration, of the products referred to in
Article 1.
Article 3
1. The products or, as the case may be, the parts of products referred to
in Article 1 shall not contain, from the time they are put into circulation,
pesticide residue levels higher than those specified in the list referred to
in Article 1.
In the case of dried products for which maximum levels are not fixed, the
maximum level applicable shall be that laid down in the list referred to in
Article 1, taking into account the residue concentration caused by the
drying process.
2. Member States shall ensure, at least by check sampling, compliance
with the maximum levels referred to in paragraph 1. The necessary
inspections shall be carried out in accordance with Directive 89/397/EEC
and in particular Article 4 thereof.
Article 4
1. The competent authority or authorities of the Member States shall
draw up forward programmes laying down the nature and frequency of
the inspections to be carried out in accordance with Article 3 (2) over a
specific period.
2. By 1 August each year, the Member States shall send to the
Commission all the necessary information on implementation during the
previous year of the programmes referred to in paragraph 1, specifying:
— the criteria applied in drawing up these programmes,
— the number and type of inspections carried out,
— the number and type of infringements established.3. By 1 November each year, and for the first time in 1993, the
Commission shall forward to the Member States, after consulting them
within the framework of the Standing Committee on Plant Health, a
recommendation concerning a coordinated programme of inspections for
the following year. This recommendation may be subsequently adjusted
as required during implementation of the coordinated programme.
The coordinated programme shall set out in particular the priority criteria
to be applied in its implementation.
The information provided for in paragraph 2 shall contain a special,
separate section on implementation of the coordinated programme.
4. Five years after the adoption of this Directive the Commission shall
forward to the Council a report on the application of this Article,
accompanied, if necessary, by any appropriate proposals.
Article 5
Member States may not prohibit or impede the putting into circulation
within their territories of the products referred to in Article 1 on the
grounds that they contain pesticide residues, if the quantity of such
residues in and on the products or parts of products concerned does not
exceed the maximum levels specified in the list referred to in Article 1.!B1990L0642 — EN — 18.06.1996 — 005.001 — 5
Article 6
1. The sampling methods necessary for carrying out the checks
provided for in Article 3 on fruit and vegetables shall be those laid
down by Commission Directive 79/700/EEC (1). The sampling methods
necessary for carrying out such checks on products other than fruit and
vegetables, and the methods of analysis for all products, shall be
determined in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 9.
The existence of Community methods of analysis shall not preclude
Member States from using other tested and scientifically valid methods
provided that this does not hinder the free movement of products
recognized by virtue of Community methods as complying with the rules
provided for in this Directive. In the event of differences in the
interpretation of results, those obtained by the use of Community
methods shall prevail.
2. The methods of analysis determined under paragraph 1 shall comply
with the criteria set out in the Annex to Directive 85/591/EEC.
3. Member States shall inform the other Member States and the
Commission of the other methods used pursuant to paragraph 1.
Article 7
Amendments to the Annex as a result of developments in scientific or
technical knowledge shall be adopted by the Council acting by a
qualified majority on a proposal from the Commission.
Article 8
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 the list referred to in Article 1 endangers human or animal
health, and therefore requires swift action to be taken, that Member State
may temporarily reduce the level in its own territory. In that case, it shall
immediately notify the other Member States and the Commission of the
measures, attaching a statement of the reasons therefor.
2. The Commision shall quickly examine the grounds given by the
Member State referred to in the first subparagraph and shall consult the
Member States within the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
hereinafter referred to as ‘the Standing Committee’; it shall then deliver
its opinion forthwith and take the appropriate measures. The Commis-
sion shall immediately notify the Council and the Member States of any
measures taken. Any Member State may refer the Commission’ s
measures to the Council within 15 days of such notification. The
Council acting by a qualified majority may take a different decision
within 15 days of the date on which the matter was referred to it.
3. If the Commission considers that the maximum levels laid down in
the list referred to in Article 1 should be amended to resolve the
difficulties mentioned in paragraph 1 and to ensure the protection of
human health, it shall initiate the procedure laid down in Article 10, with
a view to adopting those amendments. In this case, the Member State
which has taken measures under paragraph 1 may in that event maintain
them until the Council or the Commission has taken a decision in
accordance with the said procedure.
Article 9
1. Where the procedure laid down in this Article is to be followed, the
matter shall be referred without delay to the Standing Committee by its
chairman, either on his own initiative or at the request of a Member
State.!B
