Abstract

The Regulations update the definition of "Residue Directives" in the principal Regulations to incorporate specified Commission Directives of 2000. They specify maximum levels of pesticide residues which crops, food and feeding stuffs may contain in implement of Commission Directives 2000/81/EC, 2000/82/EC and 2001/35/EC (reg. 2(3) to (8)). In regulation 2(7), the reference to diphenylamine is in part an implementation of Commission Directive 2000/57/EC. The Regulations delete the maximum residue level of Tecnazene in relation to lettuce from Part 1 of Schedule 2 of the principal Regulations with effect from 1 July 2003 (reg. 2(4)). Community maximum residue levels for Tecnazene are now included in Part 2 of Schedule 2 of the principal Regulations (reg. 2(3) and (6)). The Regulations also delete maximum levels which are abolished on 1 July 2001 (reg. 2(5)) and make a consequential amendment to the footnotes contained in Part 2 of Schedule 2 of the principal Regulations (reg. 2(8)).
