(1)

Paddy or rough rice, husked rice and semi-milled or wholly milled rice.

(2)

Levels are measured on fat, except in the case of foods with a fat content of 10% or less by weight. In these cases the residue is related to the total weight of the boned foodstuff and the MRL is one tenth of the value given in the table, but must be no less than 0.01 mg/kg.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Pesticides (Maximum Residue Levels in Crops, Food and Feeding Stuffs) (England and Wales) Regulations 2005 (SI 2005/3286) (“the principal Regulations”) and the Pesticides (Maximum Residue Levels in Crops, Food and Feeding Stuffs) (England and Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2007 (S.I. 2007/971) (“the 2007 Amendment Regulations”).

The Regulations implement Commission Directives 2007/7/EC (OJ No L43, 15.2.2007, p 19), 2007/8/EC (OJ No L63, 1.3.2007, p.9), 2007/9/EC (OJ No L63, 1.3.2007, p 17), 2007/11/EC (OJ No L63, 1.3.2007, p 26) and 2007/12/EC (OJ No L59, 27.2.2007, p 75).

The Regulations come into force on 16th August 2007, 28th August 2007, 2nd September 2007, and 21st January 2008.

The Regulations substitute or insert:

(a)new residue definitions for certain pesticides in Schedule 1 to the principal Regulations which identify the pesticide residues that are taken into account in the measuring of residue levels for each pesticide; and

(b)new maximum residue levels for certain pesticides in Schedule 2 to the principal Regulations.

A Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) was prepared in 2005 when the principal Regulations were previously consolidated and provides a basis for establishing the impact of amendments to the principal Regulations of the kind made by these Regulations. A consultation in 2003 indicated that compliance costs were virtually unchanged from those quoted in the 1999 RIA. Copies of the assessment can be obtained from the Pesticides Safety Directorate, Room 308, Mallard House, Kings Pool, 3 Peasholme Green, York Y01 7PX or via the website www.pesticides.gov.uk. Copies have been placed in the library of each House of Parliament.
