Under the authority of the Pest Control Products Act, Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) is proposing to establish maximum residue limits (MRLs) for clothianidin on tuberous and corm vegetables (CSG 1C), leafy vegetables (except Brassica vegetables) (CG 4), Brassica (cole) leafy vegetables (CG 5), pomegranates, figs, rice and tea (dried leaves) to permit the import and sale o [...] The PMRA must determine the quantity of residues that are likely to remain in or on the imported food commodities when clothianidin is used according to label directions in the exporting country, and that such residues will not be a concern to human health. [...] A summary of the field trial data used to support the proposed MRLs can be found in Appendix I. To comply with Canada’s international trade obligations, consultation on the proposed MRLs is also being conducted internationally by notifying the World Trade Organization, as coordinated by Canada’s Notification Authority and Enquiry Point. [...] MRLs established in Canada may be found using the Maximum Residue Limit Database on the Maximum Residue Limits for Pesticides webpage. [...] International Situation and Trade Implications Table 2 compares the MRLs proposed for clothianidin in Canada with corresponding Codex MRLs.1 The MRLs proposed for clothianidin in Canada are the same as corresponding tolerances in the United States, in accordance with American tolerances listed in the Electronic Code of Federal Regulations, 40 CFR Part 180, by pesticide.
