Addendum
The following communication, dated 7 November 2002, has been received from Canada.
_______________
Regulations Amending the Food and Drug Regu lations (1314 - Ethylenebisdithiocarbamate
fungicides)
The Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA), of Health Canada, has recently approved
an application to amend the registration of the ethylenebisdithiocarbamate fungicide, mancozeb, inorder to allow its use for the control of anthracnos e and ascochyta blight on lentils.  This regulatory
amendment will establish a Maximum Residue Limit (MRL) for residues of
ethylenebisdithiocarbamate fungicides resulting from this use in lentils, in order to permit the sale of
food containing these residues.
After the review of all available data, the PMRA has determined that an MRL for
ethylenebisdithiocarbamate fungicides of 6 p.p.m. in lentils would not pose an unacceptable healthrisk to the public.
