  • UNITS:

  • Maximum residue levels (MRLs) are expressed in milligrammes of residue per kilogramme of food.

  • KEY:

  • * Level at or about the limit of determination.

  • FOOTNOTES:

(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.

(3)

These levels are for fresh raw cow's milk and fresh whole cream cow's milk expressed on the whole milk.

(4)

For preserved, concentrated or sweetened cow's milk; for raw milk and whole cream milk of another animal origin; and for butter, cheese or curd. Whether made from cow's milk or other milk or a combination, the following levels apply:

  • if the fat content is less than 2% by weight, the MRL is taken as half that set for raw milk and whole cream milk;

  • if the fat content is 2% or more by weight, the MRL is expressed in mg/kg of fat and is set at 25 times that set for raw milk and whole cream milk.

(5)

Birds' eggs in shell (other than eggs for hatching) and whole egg products and egg yolk products (whether fresh, dried or otherwise prepared).

(6)

Scarole includes broad-leaf endive.

(9)

All other meat, edible offal, fat and preparations of meat and edible offal.

(11)

All liver and kidney.

(13)

Broccoli includes calabrese.

(39)

Offals only.

(40)

All meat except offal.

(47)

Poultry and poultry products.

(53)

These maximum residue levels apply when single residue methods are employed for the specific quantification of Propineb, Thiram or Ziram, as the case may be.

(This note is not part of these Regulations)

These Regulations, which are made under section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972, amend the Pesticides (Maximum Residue Levels in Crops, Food and Feeding Stuffs) (Scotland) Regulations 2005 (S.S.I. 2005/599) (“the principal Regulations”).

These Regulations implement Commission Directives 2007/55/EC (O.J. No. L 243, 18.9.2007, p.41), 2007/56/EC (O.J. No. L 243, 18.9.2007, p.50), 2007/57/EC (O.J. No. L 243, 18.9.2007, p.61) and 2007/62/EC (O.J. No. L 260, 5.10.2007, p.4).

The Regulations come into force, in stages, on 19th December 2007, 19th March 2008 and 6th April 2008. They substitute or insert–

a

new residue definitions for the pesticides Bifenazate, Deltamethrin, Dithiocarbamates, Pethoxamid, Propineb, Pyrimethanil, Rimsulfuron, Thiram and Ziram in Schedule 1 to the principal Regulations, which identifies the pesticide residues that are taken into account in the measuring of residue levels for each pesticide; and

b

maximum residue levels for the pesticides Azinphos-methyl, Azoxystrobin, Bifenazate, Chlorothalonil, Deltamethrin, Dithiocarbamates, Hexachlorobenzene (HCB), Ioxynil, Oxamyl, Pethoxamid, Propineb, Pyrimethanil, Quinoxyfen, Rimsulfuron, Thiram and Ziram in Schedule 2 to the principal Regulations.

Regulation 3(2)(b) corrects an error in the Pesticides (Maximum Residue Levels in Crops, Food and Feeding Stuffs) (Scotland) Amendment (No. 3) Regulations 2007 (S.S.I. 2007/481).

A Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) was prepared in respect of the principal Regulations which provides a basis for establishing the impact of amendments to those Regulations. Copies of the RIA can be obtained from the Scottish Government Rural Directorate, Area 1B, Pentland House, 47 Robb’s Loan, Edinburgh, EH14 1TY. Copies have been placed in the Scottish Parliament Information Centre.
