A Survey Report to Follow-Up. The development of the concept of minimum data requirements for establishing maximum residue limits (MRLs) including import tolerances for pesticides
In response to a further consultation on minimum data requirements for setting MRLs/import tolerances for pesticides, thirteen countries offered comments and observations. The geographic spread of the recipients indicates that most regions of the world have participated in this project. The use of MRLs derived by JMPR has a different end use compared with those set by national governments. Whilst national MRLs can be used as a measure of GAP compliance and consumer safety as well as a trading standard, the way in which JMPR-recommended MRLs are derived means that they can only be used, as intended, as standards to aid international trade. This is a fundamental difference in the use of the MRL and therefore whilst any JMPR-recommended MRL should be set at a level, which should not give rise to adverse health effects, its end use is limited in comparison to national MRLs.
