                           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;

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.
 ---pagebreak---                                         - ^
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 ),
 HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
                                     Article 1
Directive 90/642/EEC is hereby amended as follows :
1.     The following pesticide residues are added to Annex II of Directive
       90/642/EEC :
