Commission Regulation (EU) 2018/782 of 29 May 2018 establishing the methodological principles for the risk assessment and risk management recommendations referred to in Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 (Text with EEA relevance)
When the UK left the EU, legislation.gov.uk published EU legislation that had been published by the EU up to IP completion day (31 December 2020 11.00 p.m.). On legislation.gov.uk, these items of legislation are kept up-to-date with any amendments made by the UK since then.
Legislation.gov.uk publishes the UK version. EUR-Lex publishes the EU version. The EU Exit Web Archive holds a snapshot of EUR-Lex’s version from IP completion day (31 December 2020 11.00 p.m.).
Point in time view as at 29/05/2018.
There are outstanding changes not yet made to Commission Regulation (EU) 2018/782. Any changes that have already been made to the legislation appear in the content and are referenced with annotations.
Changes and effects yet to be applied by the editorial team are only applicable when viewing the latest version or prospective version of legislation. They are therefore not accessible when viewing legislation as at a specific point in time. To view the ‘Changes to Legislation’ information for this provision return to the latest version view using the options provided in the ‘What Version’ box above.
for mammals other than swine: muscle, fat, liver and kidney;
for swine and poultry: muscle, fat and skin in natural proportions, liver and kidney;
for fin-fish: muscle and skin in natural proportions;
if the substance is proposed for use in a milk producing, egg producing or honey producing species, MRLs shall be recommended for milk, eggs and/or honey, respectively, wherever possible. As for tissues, recommendations for MRLs in milk, eggs and honey shall be based on data demonstrating the residue depletion profile in these commodities. Where no such data are available, it may be considered necessary to reserve an unused portion of the ADI for the future establishment of MRLs in these commodities (Section II.5).
the ADI (or alternative limit if appropriate) — MRLs shall be recommended at levels that ensure that consumer exposure to residues of concern remains below the ADI;
the proposed marker residue;
the ratio of the marker residue to total residues;
the distribution of residues across edible tissues — the individual MRLs proposed for the different edible tissues shall reflect the distribution of residues across these tissues. In those cases where residues in a tissue rapidly fall below the limit of quantification (the smallest measured content of an analyte above which a determination of the analyte can be made with a specified degree of accuracy and precision) of the analytical method, it shall not be possible to establish MRLs that reflect the distribution of residues across tissues. Where this occurs, MRLs shall be set at twice the limit of quantification in order to provide an MRL for use in residue surveillance. Wherever possible, the tissue selected for residue monitoring purposes shall be one in which the MRL was set taking the distribution of residues across tissues into account;
the overall exposure of the consumer to residues — this shall be demonstrated to be below the ADI based on the residue levels seen in the depletion studies, and using the standard food basket (see below).
The standard food basket shall be made up of the quantities of the food commodities shown in the table below:
a Fat and skin in natural proportions for pigs | |||||||
Mammals | Poultry | Fish | Bees | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Muscle | 0,300 kg | Muscle | 0,300 kg | Muscle and skin in natural proportions | 0,300 kg | Honey | 0,020 kg |
Fat | 0,050 kga | Fat and skin in natural proportions | 0,090 kg | ||||
Liver | 0,100 kg | Liver | 0,100 kg | ||||
Kidney | 0,050 kg | Kidney | 0,010 kg | ||||
Milk | 1,500 kg | Eggs | 0,100 kg |
Amount per edible tissue or product = (proposed MRL for the tissue or product x (times) daily consumption of the tissue or product)/(divided by) Ratio of the marker to total residue in the tissue or product.
substances of endogenous origin, particularly if exposure to residues has only a minor impact on the overall exposure to the substance;
substances which are essential nutrients or normal constituents of the diet in man and animals;
substances for which no pharmacological activity considered to be biologically relevant has been identified;
substances that have been demonstrated to be of low toxicity following exposure by the oral route;
substances that are not absorbed or are poorly absorbed from the gastro-intestinal tract or from the sites of local application (e.g. skin or eyes);
substances that are rapidly and extensively detoxified or excreted;
substances that have been demonstrated not to result in detectable residues in food derived from treated animals.

This timeline shows the different versions taken from EUR-Lex before exit day and during the implementation period as well as any subsequent versions created after the implementation period as a result of changes made by UK legislation.
The dates for the EU versions are taken from the document dates on EUR-Lex and may not always coincide with when the changes came into force for the document.
For any versions created after the implementation period as a result of changes made by UK legislation the date will coincide with the earliest date on which the change (e.g an insertion, a repeal or a substitution) that was applied came into force.
