Annex I

United Kingdom

In Part A of Annex II to Directive 86/362/EEC, the lines for ‘Mancozeb, maneb, metiram, propineb, zineb (expressed as CS₂)’ are replaced by the following:

The MRLs expressed as CS₂ can arise from different dithiocarbamates and therefore they do not reflect a single Good Agricultural Practice (GAP). It is therefore not appropriate to use these MRLs to check compliance with a GAP.

In brackets the origin of the residue (ma: maneb; me: metiram; mz: mancozeb; pr: propineb; t: thiram; z: ziram).

As all dithiocarbamates result in the final CS₂ residue, discrimination among them is generally not possible. However single residue methods are available for propineb, ziram and thiram. These methods should be implemented on a case by case basis when the specific quantification of propineb, ziram and/or thiram is required.
