Abstract

These Regulations provide that a person shall not put into circulation any product of plant origin, including fruit and vegetables, to which these Regulations apply, if it contains the residue of a pesticide specified in the Regulations in a quantity greater than the maximum laid down. A person shall not place on the market any controlled product if: (a) the product contains within it or on it a pesticide residue; and (b) the level of such pesticide residue exceeds the maximum specified in relation to the controlled product in Annex II. "Controlled product" means the portion of the products of plant origin, including fruit and vegetables, listed in the third column of Annex I. Remaining provisions define powers of authorized officers, analysis of samples in legal proceedings, and prescribe offences. (12 regulations completed by 3 Schedules)
