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

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. 

-  3  -

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),

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 

protection products on  the market*3),
