COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES 
Brussels, 02.10.1995 
COM(95) 448 final 
Proposal for a 
COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 
amending Annex II to Council Directive 76/895/EEC relating to 
the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on 
fruit and vegetables-and Annex II to Council 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) 
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. 
(presented by the Commission) 

Explanatory Memorandum 
The present proposals represent the fourth in the series of ad 
hoc priority lists of pesticides to be established since the 
adoption of Council Directive 90/642/EEC, and for which it is 
considered urgent to establish for the first time harmonized 
maximum pesticide residues levels (MRLs). Directive 
90/642/EEC in completing the range of products to include most 
important components of the diet, allows a more systematic 
approach to be taken to establishing Community MRLs than was 
previously possible. The basis for prioritization of 
pesticides is their significance in agriculture and potential 
for trade difficulties due to the presence of residues in 
treated products. Accordingly, when adopted, the proposals 
will facilitate Community trade in the products covered by the 
measures. 
The proposals provide for the amendment of Annex II to 
Council Directive 76/895/EEC, Annex II to Council Directive 
90/642/EEC and the Annexes to Council Directives 86/362/EEC 
and 86/363/EEC. At the time of the adoption of the framework 
directives, Council provided for amending the 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 facilitate circulation 
of the concerned agricultural products and to ensure 
protection of consumer health. The other features of the 
proposals are as follows: 
À 
To amend the maximum pesticide residue levels for 
glyphosate in soyabean and fenarimol in bananas in order 
to reflect the authorised uses in certain third countries 
and to facilitate international trade. The new levels 
provided for are acceptable from a dietary intake point 
of view. 
To amend the maximum pesticide residue levels for 
iprodione in rhubarb and for benomyl in rhubarb and 
courgettes. The new levels provided for are acceptable 
from a dietary intake point of view. 
To establish Community maximum pesticide residue levels 
for 13 widely used pesticides that may leave residues in 
agricultural products, 7 of which have not been 
previously covered by Community legislation. It is 
proposed to defer decisions for certain pesticide/product 
combinations due to inadequate data by current standards 
and not withstanding the existence of Good Agricultural 
Practice in certain Member States. A maximum period of 
four years is envisaged in such cases to allow for the 
generation of data and during this period maximum levels 
for the particular pesticide/product combinations will 
remain unharmonized. 
The proposals will have little or no impact on small or 
medium-sized enterprises. 
The proposals would have no impact on the budget of the 
European Community. 
Proposal for a 
COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 
amending Annex II to Council Directive 76/895/EEC relating to 
the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on 
fruit and vegetables and Annex II to Council 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 UNION 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 
Community, 
Having regard to Council Directive 76/895/EEC of 23 November 
1976 relating to the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide 
residues in and on fruit and vegetables1, and in particular 
Article 5 thereof, 
OJ No L 340, 09.12.1976, p. 26 
Having regard to Council Directive 90/642/EEC of 27 November 
1990 relating to the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide 
residues in and on certain products of plant origin, including 
fruit and vegetables2 as last amended by Directive 94/30/EC3, 
and in particular Article 1 thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Whereas, in order to establish mandatory maximum levels of 
pesticide residues at Community level it is necessary to 
transfer provisions from Directive 76/895/EEC to Directive 
90/642/EEC relating to the pesticides chlormequat, diazinon, 
dicofol, endosulfan, fentin and propoxur; whereas certain of 
those provisions should be amended in the light of technical 
and scientific progress. 
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, Directive 90/642/EEC provided for the establishment 
of a list of maximum levels for certain pesticide residues, 
including a maximum pesticide residue level for the herbicide 
glyphosate in and on soyabean4, and for the fungicide fenarimol 
OJ No L 350, 14.12.1990, p.71 
OJ No L 189, 23.07.94, p.70. 
OJ No L 211, 23.08.93, p.6. 
in and on bananas5; whereas, it is now appropriate 
to amend the maximum pesticide residue levels for soyabean and 
bananas in order to reflect the authorised uses in certain 
third countries; whereas, the new levels provided for are 
acceptable from a dietary intake point of view; whereas, these 
levels should facilitate international trade; 
Whereas, Directive 90/642/EEC provided for the establishment 
of maximum pesticide residue levels for iprodione in and on 
rhubarb, and for benomyl in and on rhubarb and courgettes6; 
whereas, new data are available on these pesticide 
residue/product combinations; whereas, on consideration of 
these data it is now appropriate to amend the maximum 
pesticide residue levels for rhubarb and courgettes; whereas, 
the new levels provided for are acceptable from a dietary 
intake point of view; 
Whereas, pesticide residues may arise in products of plant 
origin including fruit and vegetables as a result of 
agricultural practices; whereas, it is necessary to take into 
account relevant data for both authorised pesticide uses and 
supervised trials; 
Whereas, in order to better estimate dietary intake of 
pesticide residues, it is prudent to establish simultaneously, 
where appropriate, maximum residue levels for individual 
pesticides in all major components of the diet; whereas, these 
OJ No L 189, 23.07.94, p.70. 
OJ No L 211, 23.08.93, p.6. 
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 pesticide residues in products of plant origin, 
namely disulfoton, fenbutatin oxide, mecarbam, phorate, 
propyzamide,triazophos and triforine, whereas, however, it is 
not possible to establish maximum pesticide residue levels for 
all pesticide residue product combinations due to insufficient 
data; 
Whereas, however, data are insufficient by current standards 
to establish maximum pesticide residue levels for certain 
pesticide residue/product combinations; whereas, in such cases 
a period of time not exceeding four years would seem 
reasonable for the generation of the necessary data; whereas, 
therefore, maximum levels should be established on the basis 
of such data by 31 December 1999 at the latest; whereas, 
failure to provide satisfactory data shall normally result in 
the establishment of levels at the appropriate limit of 
determination; whereas, satisfactory undertakings to generate 
the necessary data must be given within one year of the 
adoption of this directive; 
Whereas, the maximum residue levels established in this 
directive 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 Directive 
91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant 
protection products on the market7

Commission 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. 
<4* 
Explanatory Memorandum 
The present proposals represent the fourth in the series of ad 
hoc priority lists of pesticides to be established since the 
adoption of Council, Directive 90/642/EEC, and for which it is 
considered urgent to establish for the first time harmonized 
maximum pesticide residues levels (MRLs). Directive 
90/642/EEC in completing the range of products to include most 
important components of the diet, allows a more systematic 
approach to be taken to establishing Community MRLs than was 
previously possible. The basis for prioritization of 
pesticides is their significance in agriculture and potential 
for trade difficulties due to the presence of residues in 
treated products. Accordingly, when adopted, the proposals 
will facilitate Community trade in the products covered by the 
measures. 
The proposals provide for the amendment of Annex II to 
Council Directive 76/895/EEC, Annex II to Council Directive 
90/642/EEC and the Annexes to Council Directives 86/362/EEC 
and 86/363/EEC. At the time of the adoption of the framework 
directives, Council provided for amending the 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 facilitate circulation 
of the concerned agricultural products and to ensure 
protection of consumer health. The other features of the 
proposals are as follows: 
^H 
To amend the maximum pesticide residue levels for 
glyphosate in soyabean and fenarimol in bananas in order 
to reflect the authorised uses in certain third countries 
and to facilitate international trade. The new levels 
provided for are acceptable from a dietary intake point 
of view. 
To amend the maximum pesticide residue levels for 
iprodione in rhubarb and for benomyl in rhubarb and 
courgettes. The new levels provided for are acceptable 
from a dietary intake point of view. 
To establish Community maximum pesticide residue levels 
for 13 widely used pesticides that may leave residues in 
agricultural products, 7 of which have not been 
previously covered by Community legislation. It is 
proposed to defer decisions for certain pesticide/product 
combinations due to inadequate data by current standards 
and not withstanding the existence of Good Agricultural 
Practice in certain Member States. A maximum period of 
four years is envisaged in such cases to allow for the 
generation of data and during this period maximum levels 
for the particular pesticide/product combinations will 
remain unharmonized. 
The proposals will have little or no impact on small or 
medium-sized enterprises. 
The proposals would have no impact, on the budget of the 
European Community.

respectively. 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 
Community, 
Having regard to Directive 86/362/EEC of 24 July 1986 on the 
fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in cereals1 as 
last amended by Directive 94/29/EC2, 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 origin3 as last amended by Directive 94/29/EC4, and 
in particular Article 11 thereof,

U 
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, pesticide residues may arise in cereals and 
foodstuffs of animal origin as a result of agricultural 
practices; whereas, it is necessary to take into account 
relevant data for both authorized pesticide uses and as 
appropriate supervised trials and animal feeding studies; 
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 adequate control, applied in such a manner that the 
amount of residue is the smallest practicable and is 
toxicologically >. acceptable ; 
Whereas, in the light of technical and scientific progress, 
and the requirements of public health and agriculture it is 
desirable to amend Directives 86/362/EEC and 86/363/EEC by 
adding provisions relating to further pesticide residues for 
cereals and foodstuffs of animal origin, namely chlormequat, 
diazinon, dicofol, disulfoton, endosulfan, fenbutatin oxide, 
fentin, mecarbam, phorate, propoxur, propyzamide, triazophos 
and triforine; 
n 
Whereas, however, data are insufficient by current standards 
to establish maximum pesticide residue levels for certain 
pesticide residue/product combinations; whereas, in such cases 
a period of time not exceeding four years would seem 
reasonable for the generation of the necessary data; whereas, 
therefore, maximum levels should be established on the basis 
of such data by 31 December 1999 at the latest; whereas, 
failure to provide satisfactory data shall normally result in 
the establishment of levels at the appropriate limit of 
determination; whereas, satisfactory undertakings to generate 
the necessary data must be given within one year of the 
adoption of this directive; 
Whereas, the maximum residue levels established in the current 
Directive 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 Directive 
91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant 
protection products on the market5,

(i) 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 is one-tenth of the 
value related to fat content, but must be no less than 0.01 mg/kg. 
(ii) 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 raw milk and whole cream milk of another 
animal origin the residues are expressed on the basis of the fat. 
For the other foodstuffs 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. 
(iii) 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. 
(iv) Footnotes (i), (ii) and (iii) do not apply in cases where the lower limit of analytical 
determination is indicated.
