(1) For the purposes of these regulations the following

definitions shall apply>

“pesticide residues” means residues of the pesticides and of

their metabolites, and breakdown or reaction products, which are

present in or on the products referred to in regulation 2.

“putting into circulation” means any handing over, whether

or not for a consideration, of the products referred to in regulation

2<

“MRL” means maximum residue level.

(1) The Director shall ensure that the products referred to Products not to pose

any risks to human

in regulation 2 do not, from the time they are put into circulation, present health.

a danger to human health as a result of the presence of pesticide residues.

(2) The Director may not prohibit or impede the putting

into circulation within its territory of the products referred to in regulation

2 on the grounds that they contain pesticide residues if the quantity of

such residues does not exceed the maximum levels specified in Schedule

II.

(1) Notwithstanding regulation 7, the products referred to Products

contain pesticide

in regulation 2 shall not contain, from the time they are put into residue levels

circulation, pesticide residue levels higher than those specified in the higher

specified in

list referred to in Schedule II. The list of pesticide residues concerned Schedule II.

and their maximum levels shall be established in Schedule II in

accordance with the procedure laid down by the Committee assisting

the Commission, having regard to current scientific and technical

knowledge.

(2) In the case of dried and processed products for which

maximum levels are not explicitly fixed in Schedule II, the maximum

residue level applicable shall be that laid down in Schedule II, taking

into account, respectively, the concentration caused by the drying process

or the concentration or dilution caused by processing. A concentration

or dilution factor covering the concentration and,or dilution caused by

certain drying or processing operations may be determined for certain

dried or processed products in accordance with the procedure laid down

by the Committee.

(3) In the case of composite foods which contain a mixture

of ingredients and for which maximum residue levels are not fixed, the

maximum residue levels applied may not exceed the levels laid down

in Schedule II, taking into account the relative concentrations of the

ingredients in the mixture and also the provisions of sub-regulation (2).

(4) The Director shall ensure, at least by check sampling,

compliance with the maximum levels referred to in sub-regulation (1)

of this regulation . The necessary inspections and monitoring shall be

carried out in accordance with Council Directive 89#397#EEC of 14

June 1989 on the official control of foodstuffs, except for Article 14

thereof, and Council Directive 93#99#EEC of 29 October 1993 on the

subject of additional measures concerning the official control of

foodstuffs (2), except for Articles 5, 6 and 8 thereof and any other

relevant legal provisions for the monitoring of residues in foodstuffs of

animal origin.

(1) (a) Where for a product belonging to a group referred

to in Schedule I, a provisional maximum residue level application

throughout the Community is set by the Commission in accordance with

the provisions of Article 4 (1) (f) of Council Directive 91#414#EEC of

15 th July, 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on

the market, that level will be indicated in Schedule II with a reference to

that procedure.

(b) For the purposes of this regulation a Member State of

origin shall be defined as the Member State in whose territory a

product specified in regulation 2 (1) is either legally produced and

marketed or put into free circulation and a Member State of

destination as the Member State into whose territory such product

is introduced and put into circulation for operations other than

transit to another Member State or third country.

(2) Malta shall introduce arrangements for establishing

maximum residue levels, whether permanent or temporary, for products

referred to in regulation 2(1), brought into its territory from a Member

State of origin, taking into account good agricultural practice in the

Member State of origin, and without prejudice to conditions necessary

to protect the health of consumers, in cases where no maximum residue

levels have been established for these products in accordance with the

provisions of regulations 5 (1) or 6.

(3) Where>

(a) no maximum residue level has been established for a

product referred to in regulation 2(1) in accordance with regulations

4 (1) or 5< and

(b) that product, which satisfies the maximum residue levels

applied by its Member State of origin, has been subjected in the

Member State of destination to measures whose effect is to prohibit

or restrict its putting into circulation, on the grounds that the product

contains pesticide residue levels in excess of the maximum residue

level accepted in the Member State of destination< and

(c) either the Member State of destination has introduced new

maximum residue levels or has altered the levels laid down in its

legislation, or it has made changes to its controls which are

disproportionate and#or discriminatory compared with those for its

domestic production, or the maximum residue level applied by the

Member State of destination differs substantially from the

corresponding levels established by other Member State of

destination represents a disproportionate level of protection

compared with the level of protection applied by the Member State

to pesticides carrying a similar risk or to similar agricultural

products or foodstuffs, the following exceptional provisions shall

apply>

(i) the Member State of destination shall communicate

the measures adopted to the other Member State concerned

and the Commission within 20 days of their application. The

notification shall document the facts involved<

(ii) on the basis of the notification referred to in

paragraph (a), the two Member States concerned shall contact

each other without delay in order to remove, whenever

possible, the prohibitive or restrictive effect of the measures

adopted by the Member State of destination by means of

measures agreed between them; the Member States shall

submit all the requisite information to each other. Within a

period of three months of the notification referred to in sub-

paragrph (i), the Member States concerned shall inform the

Commission of the result of such contacts and in particular

the measures they intend to apply, if any, including the

maximum residue level they have agreed. The Member State

of origin shall inform Malta of the result of such contacts<

(4) Any measure provided for in sub-regulations (2) or (3)

shall be taken by Malta with due regard for its obligations under the

Treaty establishing the European Community, in particular Articles 30

to 36 thereof.

(5) Council Directive 83#189#EEC of 28 March 1983 laying

down a procedure for the provision of information in the field of technical

standards and regulations, shall not apply to measures adopted and

notified by Malta in accordance with sub-regulation (3) of this regulation.

Notwithstanding the provisions of regulation 5, in the case of Products falling

within heading No.

the products referred to in Schedule I falling within heading No 04.01 04.01 of the

of the Common Customs Tariff, the check sampling provided for shall Common

Tariff.

be carried out at the dairy or, if they are not delivered to a dairy, at the

point of supply to the consumer. The Director may nevertheless provide

also for check sampling from the time these products are first put into

circulation.

The Director shall make a report to the Commission, before the Report to

Commission.

1 August of each year, on the results of the official checks, the monitoring

carried out and the other measures taken pursuant to regulation 4 and,

where appropriate, regulation 5, during the previous year.

(1) The methods of sampling and analysis necessary for

carrying out the checks, monitoring and other measures provided for in

regulation 5 and, where appropriate, regulation 6, shall be determined

in accordance with the procedure laid down by the Commitee. The

existence of Community analysis methods, to be used in cases of dispute,

shall not preclude the use by Malta of other scientifically valid methods

capable of achieving comparable results.

(2) Malta shall inform the other Member States and the

Commission of the use of other methods pursuant to sub-regulation (1).

(3) Sub-regulations (1) and (2) shall apply without prejudice

to Community veterinary inspection measures for checking pesticide

residues in products referred to in regulation 2 in particular those adopted

pursuant to Directives 64#433#EEC, 72#462#EEC and 85#397#EEC.

(1) Where Malta, as a result of new information or of a

reassessment of existing information considers that a maximum level

fixed in Schedule II endangers human or animal health, and therefore

requires swift action to be taken, it may temporarily reduce the level in

its own territory. In that case, it shall immediately notify the other

Member States and the Commission of the measures, attaching a

statement of the reasons therefor.

(2) The Commission shall quickly examine the reasons given

by Malta referred to and shall consult the Member States within the Standing

Committee on Plant Health, hereinafter referred to as “the Committee”< it

shall then deliver its opinion forthwith and take the appropriate measures.

The Commission shall immediately notify the Council and the Member

States of any measures taken. Malta may refer the Commission’s measures

to the Council within 15 days of such notification. The Council acting by a

qualified majority may take a different decision within 15 days of the date

on which the matter was referred to it.

Without prejudice to the amendments made to the Schedules

in accordance with regulations 6 (1)(a) (3) and regulation 10,

amendments to the Schedules shall be adopted in accordance with the

procedure laid down by the Standing Committee on the Food Chain

and Animal Health which assists the Commission, having regard to

current scientific and technical knowledge. In particular, when

establishing maximum residue levels, account shall be taken of a relevant

dietary intake risk assessment and of the number and quality of the data

available.

(1) In the case of foodstuffs with a fat content of 10 % or less by weight, the residue is related to the total weight of the boned

foodstuff. In such cases, the maximum level is one tenth of the value related to fat content, but must be no less than 0,01 mg/kg.

(2) In determining the residues in raw cow's milk and whole cream cow's milk, a fat content of 4 % by weight should be taken as a

basis. For raw milk and whole cream milk of another animal origin the residues are expressed on the basis of the fat.

For the other foodstuffs listed in Annex I under CN codes 0401, 0402, 0405 00, and 0406

— with a fat content of less than 2 % by weight , the maximum level is taken as half that set for raw milk and whole cream milk,

— with a fat content of 2 % or more by weight, the maximum level is expressed in mg/kg of fat. In such cases, the maximum level is

25 times that set for raw milk and whole cream milk.

(3) For eggs and egg products with a fat content higher than 10 % the maximum level is expressed in mg/kg fat. In this case the

maximum level is 10 times higher than the maximum level for fresh eggs.

(4) Footnotes (1), (2) and (3) do not apply in cases where the lower limit of analytical determination is indicated.

(b) Should levels not be adopted by at the latest 1 July 2000 , the following maximum levels shall apply: 0,05 (*).

(5) These MRLs are based on Codex MRLs (extraneous residue limits) and do not result from the use of plant protection products.

(6) Based on monitoring data.

(p) Indicates provisional maximum residue level in accordance with Article 4(1)(f) of Directive 91/414/EEC: unless amended, this

level will become definitive with effect from 14 July 2007.

(q) Indicates provisional maximum residue level in accordance with Article 4(1)(f) of Directive 91/414/EEC: unless amended, this

level will become definitive with effect from 31 December 2007.
