摘要

The Codex Committee on Pesticide Residues (CCPR) has advanced some 182 pesticide-commodity maximum residue limits (MRLs) for adoption next month by the Codex Alimentarius Commission.The approved MRLs are based on consideration of 18 pesticides by the FAO/WHO Joint Meeting on Pesticide Residues (JMPR) last year.An additional four pesticide-commodity MRLs were advanced from Step 6 to Step 8 in the eight-step Codex approval process,according to a report on last month's meeting in Beijing,China by U.S.delegate Lois Rossi.
