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  II to Directive 76/895/EEC  relating  to the fixing of maximum 

levels for pesticide  residues  in and on  fruit  and vegetables and  the Annex  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 first  list of maximum 

levels 

(presented  by the  Commission)

EXPLANATORY  MEMORANDUM 

With  the progressive  adoption over  the period  1986-1990 of  Community 

framework measures  for  the establishment  of mandatory  maximum  pesticide 

residue  levels  (MRLs)  in cereals  (Directive 86/362/EEC*1)),  foodstuffs of 

animal  origin  (Directive 86/363/EEC<2>) and  in fruit  and vegetables and 

other  products of plant  origin  (Directive 90/642/EEC<3>),  the Community  now 

has the possibility  to establish  harmonized  MRLs simultaneously  for 

individual  pesticides  in most  major  components of  the diet,  taking  into 

account  total  dietary  intake of pesticide residues at Community  level  when 

establishing  the MRLs. 

Whilst  an early  review of  the  functioning of  these various measures was 

envisaged  at  the time of  the adoption of  the  1986 Directives, there has  in 

fact  been  insufficient  experience of  their operation. Furtheremore, 

Directive 91/414/EEC^4^  concerning  the authorization and placing on  the 

market  of  plant  protection  products, adopted  in 1991, contains  further 

provisions  relating  to the  fixing of maximum  residue  levels, not  foreseen  in 

1986, which will  come  into force only  in 1993. 

The Commission  considers  that  under  these circumstances and  in order  to 

facilitate  the proper  working  of  the  internal  market  it  is  important  that 

harmonized  maximum  residue  levels be established  as quickly  as possible 

under  existing  legislation.  It  is the Commission's  intention  to establish, 

on an annual  basis, a priority  list of  pesticides not  previously  harmonized 

under  Community  pesticide  residue  legislation; the present  proposals 

constitute,  inter  alia, the result  of  the first  list. 

The principal  aims of  the proposals are as follows: 

1. 

To establish Community  MRLs  for  22 major  pesticides which may 

leave residues  in food  and  have not  been  previously  covered  by 

harmonized  Community  legislation.  In the case of  certain 

pesticide  product  combinations, a sufficient  period of  time 

will  be allowed  for  the generation of  data where  that 

available  has been  considered  inadequate by current  standards 

to establish Community  MRLs.

(2) 0J  No L 221, 7.8.1986,  p. 43. 

(3) OJ  No L 350, 14.12.1990, p. 71. 

(4) OJ  No L 230, 19.8.1991, p. 1. 

2. 

To establish Community  MRLs  for  14 pesticides either  used 

-  3 -

currently or previously  in the production of  tea and  provide 

for a deadline  for  the fixing of MRLs  for  a further  18 

pesticides currently used  in the production of  tea but  lacking 

adequate up  to date data.  In the case of  three pesticides 

which may  leave measurable  residues when used  in the 

production of  tea,  it  is proposed  to establish  the MRLs at  the 

limit of  analytical  determination due  to the possibility of a 

consumer  health  hazard  arising  in certain  circumstances. 

3. 

To transfer  and, where necessary, amend  the provisions  for  19 

pesticides from  the old optional  Directive 76/895/EEC^5) 

relating  to the  fixing of maximum  levels for  pesticide 

residues  in and on  fruit  and vegetables, to Directive 

90/642/EEC. 

On  transfer  the maximum  levels shall  become mandatory  and be 

applicable  to all  product  groups covered  by Directive 

90/642/EEC. 

4. 

To establish  provisions  for birds' eggs which were  foreseen  in 

Directive  86/363/EEC  at  the  time of  its adoption and  fix  such 

MRLs  for  the 8 pesticides contained  in Annex  II to the 

directive at  the  time of  its adoption and  for which maximum 

levels have already  been established  for other  foodstuffs of 

animal  origin. 

In cases where  insufficient  data  has been available  to establish  MRLs under 

1 and  2 above, a period  not  exceeding  four  years will  be allowed  for  the 

generation of  the necessary  data. During  this period, Member  States will  be 

permitted  to maintain  the MRLs  they may  have established. 

In addition  to the main points  listed above, the proposals  also envisage a 

number  of  technical  amendmends  to the  lists of  products covered  by the 

maximum  levels. 

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 

Communi t i es.

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 on  the fixing of maximum  levels for 

pesticide residues  in cereals(1),  as  last amended  by Council  Directive 

88/298/EEC<2) and  in particular  Article  11 thereof, 

Having  regard  to Directive 86/363/EEC on  the fixing of maximum  levels for 

pesticide  residues  in foodstuffs of animal  origin^3) and  in particular 

Article  11 thereof, 

Having  regard  to the proposal  from  the Commission, 

Whereas,  it appears desirable  to update  the nomenclature  in Annexes  I to 

Directives 86/362/EEC and 86/363/EEC  to conform with Commission  Regulation 

(EEC) No 2587/91<4>; 

Whereas,  it appears also desirable  to enlarge  the scope of Annex  I of 

Directive 86/362/EEC  to  include husked  rice, milled  rice and semi-milled or 

wholly milled  rice  in addition  to paddy or  rough  rice, since a significant 

proportion of  rice  is put  into circulation  as such;

(4)  O.J. No. L 259, 26.07.1991, p. 1 

-  5 -

Whereas,  in the  light of  technical  and scientific  progress  and  the 

requirements of public health  and  agriculture,  it  is now desirable  to 

complete  Annex  II to Directive 86/363/EEC  in respect  of  the provisions  for 

the establishment  of maximum  levels for  birds' eggs and egg  yolks and  to 

establish  levels for  the pesticides  therein  listed; whereas  for  clarity,  it 

appears desirable  to present  a consolidated  version of  the said  Annex; 

Whereas,  it  is also desirable  to amend,  in the  light of  technical  and 

scientific progress, Directives 86/362/EEC  and 86/363/EEC  by  adding 

provisions  relating  to further  pesticide  residues  for  cereals  and  foodstuffs 

of animal  origin, namely,  acephate, benomyl, carbendazim, chlorpyriphos, 

chlorpyriphos-methyl, chlorothaloniI, cypermethrin, deltamethrin, 

fenvalerate, glyphosate,  imazalil,  iprodione, mancozeb, maneb, 

methamidophos, metiram, permethrin, procymidone, propineb,  thiophanate-

methyl, vinclozolin, zineb.

COUNCIL  DIRECTIVE 

amending  Annex  II to Directive 76/895/EEC  relating  to the  fixing of maximum  levels 

for pesticide residues  in and on  fruit  and vegetables and  the Annex  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 first  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 76/895/EEC  relating  to the  fixing of maximum 
levels for pesticide  residues  in and on  fruit  and  vegetables^1), as  last  amended 
by Council  Directive 89/186/EEC(2>, and  in particular  Article  5 thereof, 

Having  regard  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*3*, and  in particular  Article  1 thereof, 

Having  regard  to the proposal  from  the  Commission, 

Whereas  the pesticides chlorbenside  and  1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis(4-ethyl-phenyI) 

ethane  are no  longer of economic  importance  and  their  residues are unlikely  to 

occur  in foodstuffs; whereas  it  is appropriate  therefore  to delete  them  from 

Annex  II of Directive 76/895/EEC; 

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  amitrole, atrazine, binapacryl, 

bromophos-ethyl, captafol, DDT, dichlorprop, dinoseb, dioxathion, endrin, ethylene 

dibromide,  fenchlorphos, heptachlor, maleic hydrazide, methyl  bromide, paraquat, 

TEPP, 2,4,5-T,  toxaphene; whereas, certain of  these provisions should  be amended 

in the  light of  technical  and scientific  progress;

(2)  0J  No L 66, 10.3.1989, p.36 
(3)  OJ  No L 350, 14.12.1990, p.71 

Whereas  it  is necessary  to amend  the annex  to Directive 90/642/EEC,  in order  that 

sunflower  seed  and olives may  be more appropriately described  considering  current 

trade practices,  thereby  facilitating control  of pesticide  residues  therein; 

Whereas, pesticide  residues may  arise  in products of  plant  origin  including  fruit 

and  vegetables  as a result  of  present  or previous 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; whereas,  in the case of  the previous  agricultural 

practices, appropriate monitoring  data must  be  evaluated; 

Whereas, satisfactory  monitoring  data exist  in order  to establish  maximum 

pesticide residue  levels  in tea  for  aldrin, dieldrin, chlordane, DDT, endrin, 

heptachlor, HCH and  HCB; 

Whereas,  in the case of  the pesticides cartap  and endosulfan which  are used  in the 

production of  tea, sufficient  data  for both  authorized  uses and  supervised  trials 

exist  to establish maximum  residue  levels; 

Whereas,  in the case of  certain other  pesticides used  in the production  of  tea, 

insufficient  data exist  by present  standards  to establish maximum  residue  levels; 

whereas, however  data exist  to  indicate  that  the residues which may  be present  are 

unlikely  to constitute  a health  hazard; whereas,  Member  States may  therefore 

maintain  the maximum  levels they  have  fixed  in order  to allow sufficient  time for 

the generation of  the necessary  data  for a Community  decision  to be  taken; 

Whereas,  in the case of  the pesticides omethoate, dimethoate  and ethion used  in 

the production of  tea, available  data  indicate  that  in certain  circumstances a 

public  health  hazard may occur; whereas, therefore, the maximum  level  should  be 

established  at  the  limit of  analytical  determination; 

-A3 

-

Whereas,  in order  to better  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,  it  is now appropriate  that maximum  levels be  fixed  for  certain  pesticides 

in products of plant  origin, namely, acephate, benomyl, carbendazim,  thiophanate-

methyl, maneb, mancozeb, met!ram, propineb, zineb, methamidophos, procymidono, 

chlorothaloniI, chlorpyriphos, chlorpyriphos-methyI, cypermethrin, deltamethrin, 

fenvalerate, glyphosate,  imazalil,  iprodione, permethrin, vinclozolin; 

Whereas, however, available  data  is  insufficient  to establish  levels  for  certain 

pesticides crop  combinations; 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  1996 at  the  latest;  failure 

to provide  satisfactory  data  shall  result  in the establishment  of  levels at  the 

appropriate  limit of  determination.
