Project Summary

This project aims to analyze and enhance understanding of both national regulations and international standards - such as those set by Codex - governing pesticide maximum residue limits (MRLs) in food and agricultural products, with the objective of reducing barriers to trade caused by standards and Regulatory Frameworks differences. It will focus on key areas, including the establishment of national MRLs, import MRLs, exempted substances, the creation of default or uniform limits, and inspection systems.
