On November 5, the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) published Gazette No. 22. Within this Gazette is a proposal to amend Australia’s international MRL list, and a separate amendment to Australia’s international MRL list.
The APVMA has previously gazetted particular amendments which it had made to the APVMA MRL Standard and which have been proposed as variations to maximum residue limits (MRLs) for substances contained in agricultural and veterinary chemical products as set out as in Standard 1.4.2 – Maximum Residue Limits of the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code.
This notice pertains to proposals (Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals Code Instrument No. 4 (MRL Standard) Amendment Instrument 2013 (No. 4)) gazetted on 30 July 2013 (No. APVMA 15) and (Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals Code Instrument No. 4 (MRL Standard) Amendment Instrument 2013 (No. 5)) gazetted on 13 August 2013 (No. APVMA 16)
Submissions have been sought on these proposals and the APVMA has written separately to each person or organisation that made a submission. All matters raised in the submissions have been resolved.
