Abstract

These Regulations specify maximum levels of pesticide residues which crops, food and feeding stuffs may contain in implementation of Commission Directives 2000/24/EC, 2000/42/EC, 2000/48/EC, 2000/57/EC and 2000/58/EC and amend Community maximum residue levels which have been set previously (regs. 2(1), 2(2) and 5). Further residue definitions are also introduced (reg. 2(3)). Additionally, the Regulations remove certain maximum levels which were included in Part 1 of Schedule 2 to the Consolidated Regulations 1999 (S.I. 1999/3483) by virtue of powers contained in the Food and Environment Protection Act 1985 and which have been replaced by the Community maximum residue levels now included in Part 2 of that Schedule (reg. 2(4)). The Regulations also amend Schedule 3 to the Consolidated Regulations 1999 by introducing the new products 'papaya' and 'chilli peppers' to reflect the categories specified in Directives 2000/42/EC and 2000/24/EC respectively (reg. 2(6)).
