Abstract
These Regulations add new residue levels in Part II of Schedule 2 that have been set by recent amendments to the three Commission Directives. Regulation 2(3) substitutes a new regulation 6(b) in the principal Regulations. The new regulation 6(b)(i) provides for the Sampling Procedure as contained in the Annex to Commission Directive 2002/63/EC to apply for the determination of pesticide residues set by the Community (Part II of Schedule 2). The new regulation 6(b)(ii) provides for the sampling of pesticide residues still set nationally to be carried out, so far as is practicable, in accordance with the methods and procedures recommended by the Codex Alimentarius Commission "Recommended methods of sampling for the determination of pesticide residues for compliance with MRLs".
