    UNITS:

    Maximum residue levels (MRLs) are expressed in milligrammes of residue per kilogramme of food.

    KEY:

    * Level at or about the limit of determination.

    FOOTNOTES:

    (¹) Paddy or rough rice, husked rice and semi-milled or wholly milled rice.

    (²) Levels are measured on fat, except in the case of foods with a fat content of 10% or less by weight. In these cases the residue is related to the total weight of the boned foodstuff and the MRL is one tenth of the value given in the table, but must be no less than 0.01 mg/kg.

    (³) These levels are for fresh raw cow’s milk and fresh whole cream cow’s milk expressed on the whole milk.

    (4)

    For preserved, concentrated or sweetened cow’s milk; for raw milk and whole cream milk of another animal origin; and for butter, cheese or curd. Whether made from cow’s milk or other milk or a combination, the following levels apply:

    – if the fat content is less than 2% by weight, the MRL is taken as half that set for raw milk and whole cream milk;

    – if the fat content is 2% or more by weight, the MRL is expressed in mg/kg of fat and is set at 25 times that set for raw milk and whole cream milk.

    (5) Birds’ eggs in shell (other than eggs for hatching) and whole egg products and egg yolk products (whether fresh, dried or otherwise prepared).

    (6) Scarole includes broad-leaf endive.

    (8) Kidney except of poultry.

    (8) All other meat, edible offal, fat and preparations of meat and edible offal.

    (¹³) Broccoli includes calabrese.

    (¹4) Meat of poultry.

    (¹7) Except poultry.

    (²6) Liver of bovine animals, sheep, goats and swine.

    (²9) Meat of bovine animals, sheep, goats and swine.

    (³9) Offals only.

    (40) All meat except offal.

    (48) Sum of captan and folpet.

    (49) All fat.

    (50) All other meat, edible offal and preparations of meat or edible offal.

    (5¹) Milk except cream of milk.

    (5²) Cream of milk.





EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)


These Regulations, which are made under section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972, amend the Pesticides (Maximum Residue Levels in Crops, Food and Feeding Stuffs) (Scotland) Regulations 2005 ("the principal Regulations").

These Regulations implement Commission Directives 2007/27/EC (O.J. No. L 128, 16.05.07, p.31), 2007/28/EC (O.J. No. L 135, 26.05.07, p.6) and 2007/39/EC (O.J. No. L 165, 27.06.07, p.25).

The Regulations come into force, in stages, on 17th and 27th November and 28th December 2007.

The Regulations substitute or insert–

    (a) new residue definitions for the pesticides 1-methylcyclopropene, Etoxazole, Indoxacarb, Maleic hydrazide, MCPA and MCPB, Mesosulfuron-methyl, Tolylfluanid and Triticonazole in Schedule 1 to the principal Regulations which identifies the pesticide residues that are taken into account in the measuring of residue levels for each pesticide; and

    (b) new maximum residue levels for the pesticides 1-methylcyclopropene, Azoxystrobin, Chlorfenapyr, Diazinan, Etoxazole, Folpet, Indoxacarb, Iprodione, Lambda-cyhalothrin, Maleic hydrazide, MCPA and MCPB, Mesosulfuron-methyl, Metalaxyl, Penconazole, Tolylfluanid, Trifloxystrobin and Triticonazole in Schedule 2 to the principal Regulations.

Regulation 3(1) updates the definition of the Residues Directive to include those amendments up to the time of the making of these Regulations. The substance of the amendments is incorporated into Schedules 1, 2 and 3 of the principal Regulations.

Regulation 3(3)(c) corrects errors in certain maximum residue levels for Penconazole in the Pesticides (Maximum Residue Levels in Crops, Food and Feeding Stuffs) (Scotland) Amendment (No. 2) Regulations 2007 (S.S.I. 2007/306).

A Regulatory Impact Assessment ("RIA") was prepared in respect of the principal Regulations which provides a basis for establishing the impact of amendments to those Regulations. Copies of the RIA can be obtained from the Scottish Government Rural Directorate, Area 1B, Pentland House, 47 Robb's Loan, Edinburgh, EH14 1TY. Copies have been placed in the Scottish Parliament Information Centre.
