It has been agreed that the current system requires major reform in accordance with the following principles: —Decisions should be made on the basis of science and risks;—The government should participate in the activities of international standard-setting bodies, in particular the Codex Alimentarius Commission as stipulated in the SPS agreement, as well as OECD; and—Decisions should be made in a transparent manner. With a view to better grasping the variability of pesticide residues for MRL setting, it has been agreed to increase the number of supervised residue trials from 2 to 6 for major crops.
