Annex III
United Kingdom
In Part A of Annex II to Directive 90/642/EEC, the line for ‘Mancozeb, maneb, metiram, propineb, zineb (expressed as CS2)’ is 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.
