COUNCILREGULATION(EEC)No2377/90
of26June1990
laying down a Community procedure for the establishment of
maximum residue limits of veterinary medicinal products in food-
stuffsofanimalorigin
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European EconomicCommunity, 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 the use of veterinary medicinal products in food-producing
animals may result in the presence of residues of foodstuffs obtained
from treated animals;
Whereas as a result of scientific and technical progress it is possible to
detect the presence of residues of veterinary medicines in foodstuffs atever lower levels; whereas it is therefore necessary to establishmaximum residue limits for pharmacologically active substances which
are used in veterinary medicinal products in respect of all the various
foodstuffs of animal origin, including meat, fish, milk, eggs and honey;
Whereas inorder to protect public health, maximum residue limits
must be established in accordance with generally recognized principlesof safety assessment, taking into account any other scientific assess-
ment of the safety of the substances concerned which may have been
undertaken by international organizations, in particular the CodexAlimentarius or, where such substances are used for other purposes,by other scientific committees established within the Community;
Whereas the use of veterinary medicinal products plays an important
part in agricultural production; whereas the establishment of maximum
residue levels will facilitate the marketing of foodstuffs of animalorigin;
Whereas the establishment of different maximum residue levels by
Member States may hinder the free movement of foodstuffs and of
veterinary medicinal products themselves;
Whereas it is therefore necessary to lay down a procedure for the
establishment of maximum residue levels of veterinary medicinalproducts by the Community, following a single scientific assessmentof the highest possible quality;
Whereas the need for the establishment of maximum residue levels
throughout the Community is recognized in the Community rulesrelating to trade in foodstuffs of animal origin;
Whereas provisions must be adopted with a view to the systematic
establishment of maximum residue levels for new substances capable
of pharmacological action intended for administration to food-produ-cing animals;
Whereas arrangements must also be made for the establishment of
maximum residue levels for substances which are currently used in
veterinary medicines administered to food-producing animals; whereas,
however, in view of the complexity of this matter and the large numberof substances involved, long transitional arrangements are required;
Whereas, after scientific assessment by the Committee for Veterinary
Medicinal Products, maximum residue levels must be adopted by a1990R2377 — EN — 16.08.2003 — 043.001 — 4

rapid procedure which ensures close cooperation between the Commis-
sion and the Member States through the Committee set up underCouncil Directive 81/852/EEC of 28 September 1981 on the approxi-
mation of the laws of the Member States relating to analytical,
pharmaco-toxicological and clinical standards and protocols in respectof the testing of veterinary medicinal products (
1), as last amended by
Directive 87/20/EEC (2); whereas anurgen t procedure is also required
to ensure the swift review of any tolerance which might prove insuffi-
cient to protect public health;
Whereas medicinally induced immunological responses are usually
indistinguishable from those which arise naturally, and do not affect
consumers of food of animal origin;
Whereas the information necessary to assess the safety of residues
should be presented in accordance with the principles laid down byDirective 81/852/EEC,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
1. For the purposes of this Regulation, the following definitions
shall apply:
(a) ‘residues of veterinary medicinal products’: means all pharmacolo-
gically active substances, whether active principles, excipients or
degradationproducts, an d their metabolites which remaininfood-
stuffs obtained from animals to which the veterinary medicinalproduct inquestionhas beenadmin istered;
(b) ‘maximum residue limit’: means the maximum concentration of
residue resulting from the use of a veterinary medicinal product
(expressed inmg/kg or µg/kg ona fresh weight basis) which may
be accepted by the Community to be legally permitted or recog-nized as acceptable in or on a food.
It is based on the type and amount of residue considered to be
without any toxicological hazard for human health as expressed
by the acceptable daily intake (ADI), or on the basis of a temporary
ADI that utilizes an additional safety factor. It also takes intoaccount other relevant public health risks as well as food tech-nology aspects.
When establishing a maximum residue limit (MRL), consideration
is also given to residues that occur in food of plant origin and/or
come from the environment. Furthermore, the MRL may be
reduced to be consistent with good practices in the use of veter-inary drugs and to the extent that practical analytical methods areavailable.
2. This Regulation shall not apply to active principles of biological
origin intended to produce active or passive immunity or to diagnose astate of immunity used in immunological veterinary medicinal
products.
Article 2
The list of pharmacologically active substances used in veterinary
medicinal products in respect of which maximum residue limits havebeen established shall be contained in Annex I, which shall be adopted
inaccordan ce with the procedure laid downinArticle 8. Except as
provided for in Article 9, any amendments to Annex I shall be adoptedinaccordan ce with the same procedure.1990R2377 — EN — 16.08.2003 — 043.001 — 5

(2) OJ No L 15, 17. 1. 1987, p. 34.

Article 3
Where, following an evaluation of a pharmacologically active
substance used in veterinary medicinal products, it appears that it is
not necessary for the protection of public health to establish amaximum residue limit, that substance shall be included in a list inAnnex II, which shall be adopted in accordance with the procedurelaid down in Article 8. Except as provided for in Article 9, any amend-ments to Annex II shall be adopted in accordance with the same
procedure.
Article 4
A provisional maximum residue limit may be established for a pharma-
cologically active substance used in veterinary medicinal products onthe date of entry into force of this Regulation, provided that there areno grounds for supposing that residues of the substance concerned at
the level proposed present a hazard for the health of the consumer. A
provisional maximum residue limit shall apply for a defined period oftime, which shall not exceed five years. That period may be extendedonce only in exceptional cases for a period not in excess of two years ifthat proves expedient for the completion of scientific studies in
progress.
In exceptional circumstances, a provisional maximum residue limit
may also be established for a pharmacologically active substance notpreviously used in veterinary medicinal products on the date of entryinto force of this Regulation provided that there are no grounds for
supposing that residues of the substance concerned at the limit
proposed present a hazard for the health of the consumer.
The list of pharmacologically active substances used in veterinary
medicinal products in respect of which provisional maximum residuelimits have been established shall be contained in Annex III, whichshall be adopted inaccordan ce with the procedure laid downinArticle
8. Except as provided for in Article 9, any amendments to Annex III
shall be adopted inaccordan ce with the same procedure.
Article 5
Where it appears that a maximum residue limit cannot be established in
respect of a pharmacologically active substance used in veterinary
medicinal products because residues of the substances concerned, at
whatever limit, in foodstuffs of animal origin constitute a hazard tothe health of the consumer, that substance shall be included in a listin Annex IV, which shall be adopted in accordance with the procedurelaid down in Article 8. Except as provided for in Article 9, any amend-ments to Annex IV shall be adopted in accordance with the same
procedure.
The administration of the substances listed in Annex IV to food-produ-
cing animals shall be prohibited throughout the Community.
Article 6
1. In order to obtain the inclusion in Annexes I, II or III of a phar-
macologically active substance which is intended for use in veterinarymedicinal products for administration to food-producing animals, anapplicationto establish a maximum residue limit shall be submitted tothe European Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal Products set up
by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2309/93 (
1), hereinafter referred to as
‘the Agency’.
This application shall contain the information and particulars referred
to in Annex V of this Regulation and shall conform with the principleslaid downinDirective 81/852/EEC.1990R2377 — EN — 16.08.2003 — 043.001 — 6
