AgVetLink: Number 54, February 2006

MRL update

Consultation on the last amendment of 2005, and the second amendment to the New Zealand (Maximum Residue Limits of Agricultural Compounds) 2005 No 2, has been completed. This amendment, which consists of four new MRLs, is due to be gazetted within the next few weeks.

The next amendment to the MRL standard is likely to contain a total of nine new MRLs, seven exemptions and one removal of an obsolete compound. In addition, there are a number of administrative tidy-up changes that aim to make the standard more user-friendly. This will comprise amendment number three to the New Zealand (Maximum Residue Limits of Agricultural Compounds) 2005 No. 2.

Following consultation, the consolidated standard for 2006 will be issued later in the year.
