EC(4),andinparticularArticle10thereof,
HavingregardtoCouncilDirective90/642/EECof27November1990
on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on
products of plant origin, including fruit and vegetables(5), as last
amended by Commission Directive 2003/69/EC(6), and in particular
Article7thereof,
Whereas:
(1)Inthecaseofcerealsandproductsofplantoriginincludingfruit
andvegetables, residuelevelsreflecttheuseofminimumquan-
tities of pesticides necessary to achieve effective protection ofplants, applied in such a manner that the amount of residue isas low as is practicable and toxicologically acceptable, havingregard, in particular to the protection of the environment andthe estimated dietary intake of consumers. In the case of food-
stuffs of animal origin, residue levels reflect the consumption
by animals of cereals and products of plant origin treated withpesticides, and where relevant, the direct consequences of theuse of veterinary medicines. Community maximum residuelevels (MRLs) represent the upper limit of the amount of such
residues that might be expected to be found in commodities
whengoodagriculturalpracticeshavebeenrespected.
(2)MRLsforpesticidesarekeptunderreviewandchanged totakeaccount of new information and data. MRLs are fixed at the
lowerlimit ofanalytical determination whereauthorisedusesof
plant protection products do not result in detectable levels ofpesticide residue in or on the food product, or where there areno authorised uses, or where uses which have been authorisedby Member States have not been supported by the necessarydata,orwhereusesinthird countries resultinginresiduesinor
on food products which may enter into circulation in the
Community market have not been supported by the necessarydata.2004L0002—EN—28.01.2004—000.001—2

(3)In the case of fenamiphos, a Member State informed the
CommissionofitsdesiretorevisenationalMRLsinaccordance
withArticle8ofDirective90/642/EEC,inthelightofconcernsaboutconsumerintake.AproposalforthereviewofCommunityMRLswassubmittedtotheCommission.
(4)The lifetime and short term exposure of consumers to fenami-phos referred to in this Directive via food products has been
reassessed and evaluated in accordance with Community proce-
dures and practices, taking account of guidelines published bythe World Health Organisation(
1). It is calculated that the
MRLs fixed in this Directive will not lead to unacceptableconsumerexposure.
(5)Whererelevant,theacuteexposureofconsumerstothosepesti-cidesviaeachofthefoodproductsthatmaycontainresidueshasbeen assessed and evaluated in accordance with Communityproceduresandpractices,takingaccountofguidelinespublishedby the World Health Organisation. It is concluded that thepresence of pesticide residues at or below the MRLs proposed
inthisDirectivewillnotcauseacutetoxiceffects.
(6)ThroughtheWorldTradeOrganisation,theCommunity'strading
partners have been consulted about the MRLs proposed in thisDirective and their comments on these levels have been takenintoaccount.
