Draft resolution number 960, 5 November 2020, regarding the active ingredient G01 - GLIFOSATO (glyphosate) of the Monograph List of Active Ingredients for Pesticides, Household Cleaning Products and Wood Preservers, published by Resolution (...)
This Draft resolution incorporates the following changes for the active ingredient G01 - GLIFOSATO (glyphosate) (...) all in the modality of post-emergency use (application):
• includes the palm nuts and pecan nuts cultures with MRL of 0,1 mg/kg and safety security period 15 days;
• includes the duboisia culture with MRL and safety security period of "Non-food use".

The scientific methodology used by Brazil to establish MRLs is consistent with international best practice. Countries set MRLs according to the good agricultural practice (GAP) applicable to their region. Agricultural chemical use patterns differ between different production regions and countries as pests, diseases and environmental factors vary. This means that Brazilian MRLs for agricultural chemicals in food may differ from Codex standards.
Environment related objective
To account for the differences in environmental factors when determining the relevant Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) for reducing the adverse consequences caused from the excessive use of chemical pesticides, household cleaning products and wood preservers.

National Food Safety Standard of the P.R.C.: Maximum Residue Limits for Pesticides in Foods.
This standard specifies 642 maximum residue limits (MRLs) of 68 pesticides, including abamectin, etc. in or on foods.

Some proposed residue limits may differ from maximum residue limits standards of Codex. The scientific methodology adopted to establish MRLs in China is consistent with international common practice. Members set MRLs in accordance with the good agricultural practice (GAP), which is applicable to their respective conditions. Since the pests and environmental factors vary in different producing regions and members, they may choose different use-patterns of pesticides. Therefore, Chinese MRLs for pesticides in foods may differ from Codex standards.
Environment related objective
To protect the environment from excessive use of chemical pesticides by prescribing permissible Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs).
