European Communities (Pesticide Residues) (Fruit and Vegetables) (Amendment) Regulations, 1998.

These Regulations amend existing Regulations by extending the scope of the Regulations fixing maximum residue levels in fruit and vegetables to include dried and/or processed products and composite foodstuffs and foodstuffs intended for export to third countries and provide for the fixing of temporary maximum residue levels for certain pesticide/product combinations where harmonised Maximum Residue Limits have not been fixed for products from other Member States. Subject to the provisions of regulation 6, the Minister may from time to time establish the maximum levels of pesticide residues which may be contained in and on specified controlled products brought into Ireland from a Member State of origin. Maximum levels of pesticide residue shall not be established where harmonised pesticide residue levels have already been established by the European Community. The new section 9A concerns offences under these Regulations committed by a body corporate.
