Abstract These Regulations are made under Part III of the Food and Environment Protection Act 1985. Regulation 4 and Schedule 2 Part 2 specify maximum levels of pesticide residues which crops, food and feeding stuffs may contain in implementation. In particular, these Regulations specify for the first time maximum residue levels for the pesticide Azoxystrobin in implementation of Commission Directive 1999/71/EC. Regulation 4 also creates offences, specifies penalities, provides defences and confers enforcement powers where these maximum residue levels have been exceeded in respect of products put into circulation. To the extent that these Regulations are made under the Food and Environment Protection Act 1985, they specify maximum levels of pesticide residues which may be left in crops, food and feeding stuffs which are not the subject of the Residues Directives. Since they are made under section 16(2)(k) of that Act, regulation 3 and Schedule 2 Part 1) do no more than specify the maximum residue level which may be left in a particular product. The Regulations also confer powers to seize and dispose of products where maximum residue levels have been exceeded (reg. 5) and prescribe how much of a particular product is to be taken into account in determining whether a maximum residue level has been exceeded in accordance with Council Directive 90/642/EC (reg. 6 and Schedule 3). Provision is also made with regard to the manner for determining whether maximum residue levels have been exceeded when found in dried or processed products or composite foods, so far as these are the subject of the Residues Directives (reg. 6).
