Slide2In 20th Session of the IGG on Tea (Colombo, 30 Jan - 1 Feb 2012) The Group recommended “harmonization of tea MRLs” be changed to "Achieve global cooperation obtaining MRLs in tea“.Intergovernmental Action [Ref Doc:CCP 12/14 E, Feb 2012 ]Intergovernmental Action Plan
To finalize priority list of pesticides.
To finalize the pesticide use list of different countries
Consuming countries to assist
producing countries
identify new
compounds
To identify
common compounds
, to produce residue data collectively
To setup a communication plan to disseminate inform
ation
to all stakeholders
Slide31. Priority list prepared & updated with 61 pesticides Currently used compounds Replacements for older chemicals New pesticides with potential use in future2. Data generation on residues in tea [China, India, Sri Lanka]
Acetamiprid
,
Emamactin
benzoate,
Flubendiamide
,
oxyfluorfen &, thiacloprid
3. Data submission to Codex, national regulators
Progress since the last Session
Two
Intersessional
Meetings : Washington DC, 17 & 18 Sep 2012
Rome, 5 & 6 May 2014
Slide4Suggestion on Decision Tree The approved use in the producing country should be the main criteria for selecting a pesticide
for use in tea.
“Secondary Standards” in addition to above
would leave little choice
available for pesticides use in tea.

Slide10The Food Safety & Standard Authority of India (FSSAI) has also Initiated harmonization of its standards with that of Codex through
e-working groups. The work expected to be completed by end of 2014.c

Slide12Action taken on Propargite [EU notification to WTO (Notification G/SPS/N/EU/72 : MRL 5mg/kg to 0.05 mg/kg] (1) Argentina & India sent communications to EU on the essentiality
of
propargite
use
in tea
(2)
India carried out a study on
Propargite
metabolites in tea in
colla
-
boration
with M/S
Chemtura
(USA) in Aug-Sep 2014.
(3) Manufacturer to submit more data to reinstate the MRL.
Slide13Anthraquinone in TeaAnthraquinone is not used in tea as a pesticide.Reported detection in teaEmerging as a major problem in tea export to Europe.Source of contamination in tea is being studied.Members agreed to share available information.
Slide14Communication plansubmission timetable with Codex CCPR national contact points.
Provided guidelines on information to be submitted through the national contact points.
A comparative table of MRLs for tea in producing / consuming countries will be made available.
Communicate & seek support from manufacturers to meet the requirement for fixing MRLs in export destination countries as well as producing countries.
Special Communication to negate adverse publicity.
Networking
on any emerging issues to share available information and to identify potential solutions.
Slide15(1) Continue assessing status of field trials for setting Codex MRLs & submission of the list for advance notification to FAO-IGG & National Codex Points. (2) Continue updating priority list based on new information on regulatory status or Replacements or new compounds for potential use in Tea. (3) Communication plan for quick information exchange and advance notification for simultaneous data submission by members & seeking manufacturers support and to negate adverse publicity. (4) Any change in regulatory status should be communicated to the WG. (5) Data submission to include brew factor based risk assessment for all teas traded globally except Matcha Tea
.
(6) To share available information on emerging issues (
e.g.,Anthraquinone
)
(7) Explore scope for capacity building for data generation in producing
countries and funding options.
Way Forward
Slide16(8) Investigate scope for a global tea GAP / GMP document for quality within FAO or other organisation
