NOTIFICATION The following notification is being circulated in accordance with Article 10.6. 1.
Member to Agreement notifying: AUSTRALIA If applicable, name of local government involved (Articles 3.2 and 7.2):
2.
Agency responsible: Food Standards Australia New Zealand PO Box 7186 Canberra BC ACT 2610 AUSTRALIA Fax: (+61) 2 6271 2278 Email [email protected] Name and address (including telephone and fax numbers, e-mail and web-site addresses, if available) of agency or authority designated to handle comments regarding the notification shall be indicated if different from above:
3.
Notified under Article 2.9.2 [ X ], 2.10.1 [
], 5.6.2 [

], other:
4.
Products covered (HS or CCCN where applicable, otherwise national tariff heading. ICS numbers may be provided in addition, where applicable): All Countries. Imported (as well as domestically produced) honey sold in Australia / New Zealand.
5.
Title, number of pages and language(s) of the notified document: Application A602 – Extraneous Residue Limit (Paradichlorobenzene) (121 pages, in English).
6.
Description of content: Purpose of Application A602 is to include an extraneous residue limit of 0.1 mg/kg for paradichlorobenzene (1,4-dichlorobenzene) in honey for five years.
7.
Objective and rationale, including the nature of urgent problems where applicable: To incorporate a temporary extraneous residue limit to allow the sale of honey containing residues of paradichlorobenzene, provided that the residues do not exceed 0.1 mg/kg. The ERL for 1,4 - dichlorobenzene is being notified under the TBT Agreement because it is a limit to allow residues that are not a public health concern to be present in honey and unlike Maximum Residue Limits, are not associated with the contemporary use of an approved chemical product. It is therefore a technical issue and not a sanitary or phytosanitary measure. All Applications to vary the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code, must be assessed in the context of the following objectives: (a) the protection of public health and safety; (b) the provision of adequate information relating to food to enable consumers to make informed choices; and (c) the prevention of misleading or deceptive conduct. . /.
