AB  - The law regulating plant protection products (PPP) in the European Union (EU) was 
      fundamentally revised through the introduction of Regulation (EC) No. 1107/2009 
      which is due to enter into force on 14 June 2011. EU-wide harmonized maximum 
      residue levels (MRLs) for the active substances of PPP in foods are laid down in 
      Regulation (EC) No. 396/2005 and apply since entry into force of the regulation 
      on 1 September 2008. The goal of both regulations is to strengthen the level of 
      consumer protection. PPP are subject to a strict assessment of active substances, 
      which is regulated at the EU level as well as an authorization procedure in the 
      EU Member States. Prior to application for authorization of a PPP, the active 
      substance(s) it contains must be included in a positive list. Tests regarding the 
      toxicity and residue behavior of PPP must be conducted by the applicant, and the 
      respective documents must be submitted to the authorities for evaluation. 
      Following review of the required data, toxicological threshold values are 
      derived, consumer exposure is assessed, and the risk to health is evaluated. The 
      goal of this evaluation is to ensure that the use of PPP according to good plant 
      protection practice does not have any harmful effects on human health.
