COM(93) 505 final 
Brussels, 21 October 1993 
Proposal for a 
COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 
amending the Annexes to Council Directives 86/362/EEC and 86/363/EEC 
on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on 
cereals and foodstuffs of animal origin respectively 
Proposal for a 
COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 
amending Annex 11 to Directive 90/642/EEC relating to the fixing of 
maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on certain products of 
plant origin, including fruit and vegetables and providing for the 
establishment of a list of maximum levels 
(presented by the Commission)

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 
The present proposals are the second in the series of priority lists of 
pesticides not previously harmonized under Community pesticide residue 
legislation; the present proposals constitute, the results of the second 
such list. When adopted, the proposal will facilitate Community trade in 
the agricultural products covered by the measures. 
The proposals provide for the amendment of Annex 2 to Council Directive 
90/642/EEC (last amended by Council Directive 93/58/EEC) and Council 
Directive 86/362/EEC and 86/363/EEC (last amended by Council Directive 
93/57/EEC). At the time of adoption of the framework directives, Council 
provided for amending Council directives to progressively establish lists 
of pesticides and their maximum levels. The present proposals fall within 
the exclusive competence of the Community. A system involving uniform 
maximum levels is necessary in order to enculation of the concerned 
agricultural products and ensure protection of consumer health. The other 
features of the proposals are as follows: 
To establish Community MRLs for 12 important pesticides that may leave 
residues in food and have not been previously covered by Community 
legislation. In common with the fi?st priority list, a period of four years 
has bean allowed for the generation of data in the case of certain 
pesticide product combinations, where existing data is considered 
inadequate by current standards. 
These proposals will have little or no impact on small or medium-sized 
enterpr ises. 
The proposals would have no impact on the budget of the European 
Communit ies.

Proposal for a 
COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 
amending the Annexes to Council Directives 86/362/EEC and 86/363/EEC 
on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues 
in and on cereals and foodstuffs of animal origin respectively 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, 
Having regard to Directive 86/362/EEC of 24 July 1986 on the fixing of 
maximum levels for pesticide residues in cereals^1) as last amended by 
Directive 93/57/EFC, and In particular Article 11 thereof, 
Having regard to Directive 86/363/EEC of 24 July 1986 on the fixing of 
maximum levels for pesticide residues In foodstuffs of animal origin^2) as 
last amended by Directive 93/57/EEC^3), and in particular Article 11 
thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Whereas the Commission has received a mandate in the framework of Council 
Directives 86/362/EEC and 86/363/EEC to prepare the list of pesticide 
residues and their maximum levels for approval by Council; 
Whereas, in the light of technical and scientific progress and the 
requirements of public health and agriculture, it is now desirable to amend 
Annex II to Directives 86/362/EEC and 86/363/EEC by adding provisions 
relating to further pesticide residues for cereals and foodstuffs of animal 
origin, namely, daminozide, lambda-cyhalothrin, ethephon, propiconazole, 
carbofuran, carbosulfan, benfuracarb, furathlocarb, cyfluthrin, metalaxyl, 
benalaxyl, fenarimol;

(3) OJ NO L 211, 23.08.1993, p. 1.

Whereas, however, available data are insufficient for certain pesticide-
cereal /foodstuff s of animal origin combinations as appropriate; whereas a 
period of time, not exceeding four years, will be necessary to generate such 
data; whereas, therefore, maximum levels should be established on the basis 
of such data by 1 January 1999 at the latest; whereas failure to provide 
satisfactory data shall result in the establishment of levels at the 
appropriate limit of determination; 
Whereas, in order better to estimate dietary intake of pesticide residues, 
it is prudent to establish simultaneously, where possible, maximum residue 
levels for individual pesticides in all major components of the diet; 
whereas these levels represent the use of minimum quantities of pesticide to 
achieve adequqte control, applied in such a manner that the amount of 
residue is the smallest practicable and is toxicologicaIly acceptable; 
Whereas the maximum residue levels established in the current Directive will 
have to be reviewed in the framework of the re-evaluations of active 
substances provided for in the work programme established in Article 8(2) of 
Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant 
protection products on the market^4), 
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE

Proposal for a 
COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 
amending Annex II to Directive 90/642/EEC relating to the fixing of maximum 
levels for pesticide residues in and on certain products of plant origin, 
including fruit and vegetables and providing for the establishment of a 
list of maximum levels. 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES: 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, 
Having regard to Council Directive 90/642/EEC^1) relating to the fixing of 
maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on certain products of plant 
origin, including fruit and vegetables as last amended by Directive 
93/58/EEC^2^, and in particular Article 1 thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Whereas the Commission has received a mandate in the framework of Council 
Directive 90/642/EEC to prepare the list of pesticide residues and their 
maximum levels for approval by Council; 
Whereas, pesticide residues may arise in products of plant origin including 
fruit and vegetables as a result of agricultural practices; whereas, to 
establish maximum levels for the former, it is necessary to take into 
account relevant data for both authorized pesticide uses and supervised 
trials; whereas, however, available data is frequently insufficient by 
current standards to establish maximum levels; 
(1) OJ No L 350, 14.12.1990, p. 71. 
(2) OJ No L211, 23.08.1993, p. 6. 
-^ 
Whereas, in order better to estimate dietary intake of pesticide residues, 
it is prudent to establish simultaneously, where possible, maximum residue 
levels for individual pesticides in all major components of the diet; 
whereas thess levels represent the use of minimum quantities of pesticide to 
achieve adequate control, applied in such a manner that the amount of 
residue is the smallest practicable and is toxicologically acceptable; 
Whereas, it is now appropriate that maximum levels be fixed for certain 
pesticides-, narrioly, tiaminozide, lambda-cyha lothr in, prop iconazole, 
carbofuran, carbosulfan, benfurocarb, furathiocarb, cyfluthrin, metalaxyi, 
benalaxyi, fenarimoi, in products of animal origin; whereas, however, it is 
not possible to establish maximum pesticide residue levels for all 
pesticide residue product combinations due to insufficient data; 
Whereas, in cases of insufficient data availability a period of time 
should be allowed for the generation of the necessary data; whereas a period 
not exceeding four years would seem reasonable for this purpose; whereas, 
therefore, maximum levels should be established on the basis of such data by 
30 June 1999 at the latest; failure to provide satisfactory data shall 
result In the establishment of levels at the appropriate limit of 
déterminât ion. 
Whereas the maximum residue levels established in this Direct ice will have 
to be reviewed in the framework of the re-evaluation of active substances 
provided for in the work programme established in Article 8(2) of Council 
Dirctive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant
