|On Thursday, October 25, 2018, Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (MHLW) announced revisions to Japan’s Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs) |

|for the following agricultural chemicals and veterinary drugs: Difenoconazole, Spirotetramat, Tetraconazole, Triforine, Flutriafol, Flupyrimin |

|and Fenitrothion.  The Embassy comment period for these proposals is open until Thursday, November 8, 2018.  MHLW will notify these revisions and|

|amendments to the World Trade Organization, which will provide another opportunity for interested parties to comment on these proposed changes. |

THE 217th CONFERENCE FOR PROMOTION OF FOOD IMPORT FACILITATION

(FOOD SAFETY GROUP)

Food Safety Standards and Evaluation Division Pharmaceutical Safety and Environmental Health Bureau Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare

Date ：Thursday, October 25, 2018（10:00－12:00）

Place：Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare

Temporary Meeting Room No. 1

1-2-2, Kasumigaseki, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo

Agenda：

Item 1. Establishment of the Maximum Residue Limits for Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals in Foods

Pesticides：Difenoconazole, Spirotetramat, Tetraconazole, Triforine, Flutriafol, Flupyrimin

Pesticides and Veterinary drugs：Fenitrothion

The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) will amend the existing standards and specifications for food as shown in this document. Please provide comments in writing by Thursday, November 8, 2018. After the given date, comments should be directed to the enquiry point in accordance with the WTO/SPS Agreement.

With regard to agenda item 1, the SPS notification will be made for the setting or revision of the MRL for the agricultural and veterinary chemicals except for Triforine and Flupyrimin for which regulations will not be strengthened by this amendment.

If you wish to request Japan to adopt the same limits as your country’s MRLs, you are requested to submit data supporting your country’s MRLs, such as risk assessment and residue data.

Item 1. Establishment of the Maximum Residue Limits for Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals in Foods

The Food Sanitation Act authorizes the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) to establish residue standards (maximum residue limits, “MRLs”) for pesticides, feed additives, and veterinary drugs (hereafter referred to as “agricultural and veterinary chemicals”) that may remain in foods. Any food for which standards are established pursuant to the provisions in Article 11, Paragraph 1 of the act is not permitted to be marketed in Japan unless it complies with the established standards.

On May 29, 2006, Japan introduced the Positive List System1 for agricultural and veterinary chemicals in food. All foods distributed in the Japanese marketplace are subject to regulation of the system.

The MHLW is going to modify or newly set MRLs in some commodities for the following substances:

Pesticides：Difenoconazole, Spirotetramat, Tetraconazole, Triforine, Flutriafol, Flupyrimin

Pesticides and Veterinary drugs：Fenitrothion

＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿

1 The aim of the positive list system is to prohibit the distribution of any foods which contain agricultural chemicals at amounts exceeding a certain level (0.01 ppm) in the Japanese marketplace unless specific maximum residue limits (MRLs) have been set.

Summary

Difenoconazole (pesticide: fungicide): Permitted for use in Japan. The MHLW is going to establish MRL in one commodity in response to a request for setting MRL by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) with the intention to expand its use pattern.

Spirotetramat (pesticide: insecticide): Permitted for use in Japan. The MHLW is going to establish MRLs in some commodities in response to requests for setting MRLs by the MAFF with the intention to expand its use pattern, and for setting import tolerances based on the Guideline for Application for Establishment and Revision of Maximum Residue Limits for Agricultural Chemicals Used outside Japan (Shokuan No. 0205001, 5 February 2004).

Tetraconazole (pesticide: fungicide): Permitted for use in Japan. The MHLW is going to establish MRLs in some commodities in response to requests for setting MRLs by the MAFF with the intention to expand its use pattern and for setting import tolerances based on the Guideline for Application for Establishment and Revision of Maximum Residue Limits for Agricultural Chemicals Used outside Japan (Shokuan No. 0205001, 5 February 2004). The MHLW is going to newly set MRLs for animal products in response to a request from the MAFF. The MHLW is also going to modify MRLs in some commodities that were provisionally set at the introduction of the Positive List System.

Triforine (pesticide: fungicide): Permitted for use in Japan. The MHLW is going to establish MRLs in some commodities in response to a request for setting MRLs by the MAFF with the intention to expand its use pattern. This action will not strengthen the current regulation for any commodities.

Flutriafol (pesticide: fungicide): Not permitted for use in Japan. The MHLW is going to establish MRLs in one commodity in response to a request for setting import tolerances based on the Guideline for Application for Establishment and Revision of Maximum Residue Limits for Agricultural Chemicals Used outside Japan (Shokuan No. 0205001, 5 February 2004).

.

Flupyrimin (pesticide: insecticide): Not permitted for use in Japan. The MHLW is going to establish MRLs in some commodities in response to a request for setting MRLs by the MAFF with the intention to newly register this substance as a pesticide. The MHLW is also going to newly set MRLs for fish and animal products in response to a request for setting MRL by the MAFF. This action will not strengthen the current regulation for any commodities.

Fenitrothion (pesticide and veterinary drug: insecticide): Permitted for use in Japan. The MHLW is going to establish MRLs in some commodities in response to a request for setting MRLs by the MAFF with the intention to expand its use pattern. The MHLW is also going to newly set MRL for fish (animal products) in response to a request for setting MRL by the MAFF. In addition, the MHLW is going to modify MRLs in some commodities that were provisionally set at the introduction of the Positive List System.

The residue definition for agricultural products is difenoconazole only. The residue definition for animal products will be changed to the sum of difenoconazole and its metaboliteD 【1-[2-chloro-4-(4-chlorophenoxy)phenyl]-2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-

yl)ethanol】, expressed as difenoconazole.

* The uniform limit 0.01 ppm will be applied to commodities for which draft MRLs are not given in this table and to commodities not listed above.

* In the Commodity column, for the food categories to which the word other is added, refer to the Notes given in the last two pages of the Attachment.

●：Commodities for which MRLs are to be lowered or deleted.

○：Commodities for which MRLs are to be maintained, increased or newly set.

§：Permitted for use in Japan.

Request：Request for setting/revising MRL was made by the MAFF.

※ Since the Codex MRL (4 ppm) set in 2018 was set as the use of post-harvest, the current MRL that referred to Codex MRL (0.8 ppm) set in 2014 will be maintained .

* The uniform limit 0.01 ppm will be applied to commodities for which draft MRLs are not given in this table and to commodities not listed above.

* In the Commodity column, for the food categories to which the word other is added, refer to the Notes given in the last two pages of the Attachment.

※1 The draft MRLs for these commodities have been set based on the residue data of spirotetramat and metabolite M1 from supervised residue trials which were conducted in the foreign countries in order to take into account differences in residue definition.

※2 The draft MRL for unshu orange is estimated by using processing factor (residue concentration ratio of pulp to whole: 0.36) based on the Australian MRL for orange.

※3 The draft MRL for peach is estimated by using processing factor (residue concentration ratio of pulp to whole: 0.37) based on the Codex MRL for peach.
