1. Objective

The objective of these sampling procedures is to enable a representative sample to be obtained from a lot, for analysis to determine compliance with Codex Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) for pesticides.

2. Principles

2.1 Codex MRLs are based on Good Agricultural Practice data and foods derived from commodities that comply with the respective Codex MRLs are intended to be toxicologically acceptable.

2.2 A Codex MRL for a plant, egg or dairy product takes into account the maximum level expected to occur in a composite sample, which has been derived from multiple units of the treated product and which is intended to represent the average residue level in a lot. A Codex MRL for meat and poultry takes into account the maximum level expected to occur in the tissues of individual treated animals or birds.

2.3 In consequence, MRLs for meat and poultry apply to a bulk sample derived from a single primary sample, whereas MRLs for plant products, eggs and dairy products apply to a composite bulk sample derived from 1-10 primary samples.

3. Sampling Procedures

Notes.

(a) The terms used are defined in Annex I and the procedures are shown schematically in Annexs IIA and IIB.

(b) ISO recommendations for sampling of grain1, or other commodities shipped in bulk may be adopted, if required.

3.1 Precautions to be taken

Contamination and deterioration of samples must be prevented at all stages, because they may affect the analytical results. Each lot to be checked for compliance must be sampled separately.

3.2 Collection of primary samples

The minimum number of primary samples to be taken from a lot is determined from Table 1, or Table 2 in the case of a suspect lot of meat and . Each primary sample should be taken from a randomly chosen position in the lot, as far as practicable. The primary samples must consist of sufficient material to provide the laboratory sample(s) required from the lot.

Note. (a) Sampling devices required for grain, pulses and tea are described in ISO recommendations and those required for dairy products4 are described by the IDF.
3.3 Preparation of the bulk sample

3.3.1 Procedure for meat and poultry (Table 3)

Each primary sample is considered to be a separate bulk sample.

3.3.2 Procedure for plant products, eggs or dairy products (Tables 4 and 5)

The primary samples should be combined and mixed well, if practicable, to form the bulk sample.

3.3.3 Alternative procedure where mixing to form the bulk sample is inappropriate or impractical

Where units may be damaged (and thus residues may be affected) by the processes of mixing or sub-division of the bulk sample, or where large units cannot be mixed to produce a more uniform residue distribution, the units should be allocated randomly to replicate laboratory samples at the time of taking the primary samples. In this case, the result to be used should be the mean of valid results obtained from the laboratory samples analyzed.

3.4 Preparation of the laboratory sample

Where the bulk sample is larger than is required for a laboratory sample, it should be divided to provide a representative portion. A sampling device, quartering, or other appropriate size reduction process may be used but units of fresh plant products or whole eggs should not be cut or broken. Where required, replicate laboratory samples should be withdrawn at this stage or they may be prepared as in 3.3.3, above. The minimum sizes required for laboratory samples are given in Tables 3, 4 and 5.

3.5 Sampling record

The sampling officer must record the nature and origin of the lot; the owner, supplier or carrier of it; the date and place of sampling; and any other relevant information. Any departure from the recommended method of sampling must be recorded. A signed copy of the record must accompany each replicate laboratory sample and a copy should be retained by the sampling officer. A copy of the sampling record should be given to the owner of the lot, or a representative of the owner, whether or not they are to be provided with a laboratory sample. If sampling records are produced in computerised form, these should be distributed to the same recipients and a similar verifiable audit trail maintained.

3.6 Packaging and transmission of the laboratory sample

The laboratory sample must be placed in a clean, inert container which provides secure protection from contamination, damage and leakage. The container should be sealed, securely labelled and the sampling record must be attached. Where a bar code is utilised, it is recommended that alphanumeric information is also provided. The sample must be delivered to the laboratory as soon as practicable. Spoilage in transit must be avoided, e.g. fresh samples should be kept cool and frozen samples must remain frozen. Samples of meat and poultry should be frozen prior to despatch, unless transported to the laboratory before spoilage can occur.

3.7 Preparation of the analytical sample

The laboratory sample should be given a unique identifier which, together with the date of receipt and the sample size, should be added to the sample record. The part of the commodity to be analysed, i.e. the analytical sample, should be separated as soon as practicable. Where the residue level must be calculated to include parts which are not analysed[39], the weights of the separated parts must be recorded.

3.8 Preparation and storage of the analytical portion

The analytical sample should be comminuted, if appropriate, and mixed well, to enable representative analytical portions to be withdrawn. The size of the analytical portion should be determined by the analytical method and the efficiency of mixing. The methods for comminution and mixing should be recorded and should not affect the residues present in the analytical sample. Where appropriate, the analytical sample should be processed under special conditions, e.g. at sub-zero temperature, to minimize adverse effects. Where processing could affect residues and where practical alternative procedures are not available, the analytical portion may consist of whole units, or segments removed from whole units. If the analytical portion thus consists of few units or segments, it is unlikely to be representative of the analytical sample and sufficient replicate portions must be analysed, to indicate the uncertainty of the mean value. If analytical portions are to be stored before analysis, the method and length of time of storage should be such that they do not affect the level of residues present. Additional portions must be withdrawn for replicate and confirmatory analyses, as required.

4. Criteria for Determining Compliance

4.1 Analytical results must be derived from one or more laboratory samples taken from the lot and received in a fit state for analysis. The results must be supported by acceptable quality control data (e.g. for instrument calibration and pesticide recovery - refer to Codex Alimentarius, Volume 2, Section 4.2, “Guidelines on good laboratory practice in pesticide residue analysis”). Results should not be corrected for recovery. Where a residue is found to exceed an MRL, its identity should be confirmed and its concentration must be verified by analysis of one or more additional analytical portions derived from the original laboratory sample(s).

4.2 The Codex MRL applies to the bulk sample.

4.3 The lot complies with a Codex MRL where the MRL is not exceeded by the analytical result(s).

4.4 Where results for the bulk sample exceed the MRL, a decision that the lot is non-compliant must take into account: (i) the results obtained from one or more laboratory samples, as applicable; and (ii) the accuracy and precision of analysis, as indicated by the supporting quality control data.

Notes.

(a) The Table assumes random sampling.

(b) Where the number of primary samples indicated in Table 2 is more than about 10% of units in the total lot, the number of primary samples taken may be fewer and should be calculated as follows:

wher
n = minimum number of primary samples to be taken
no = number of primary samples given in Table 2
N = number of units, capable of yielding a primary sample, in the lot.

(c) Where a single primary sample is taken, the probability of detecting a non-compliance is similar to the incidence of non-compliant residues.

(d) For exact or alternative probabilities, or for a different incidence of non-compliance, the number of samples to be taken may be calculated from:

1-p = (1-i)n

where p is the probability and i is the incidence of non-compliant residues in the lot (both expressed as fractions, not percentages), and n is the number of samples.

ANNEX I. Definition of terms

Analytical portion

A representative quantity of material removed from the analytical sample, of proper size for measurement of the residue concentration.

Note. A sampling device may be used to withdraw the analytical portion.

Analytical sample

The material prepared for analysis from the laboratory sample, by separation of the portion of the product to be analysed5,6 and then by mixing, grinding, fine chopping, etc., for the removal of analytical portions with minimal sampling error.

Note. Preparation of the analytical sample must reflect the procedure used in setting Codex MRLs and thus the portion of the product to be analysed may include parts that are not normally consumed.

Bulk sample

For products other than meat and poultry, the combined and well mixed aggregate of the primary samples taken from a lot. For meat and poultry, the primary sample is considered to be equivalent to the bulk sample.

Notes.

(a) The primary samples must contribute sufficient material to enable all laboratory samples to be withdrawn from the bulk sample.

(b) Where separate laboratory samples are prepared during collection of the primary sample(s), the bulk sample is the conceptual sum of the laboratory samples, at the time of taking the samples from the lot.

Laboratory sample

The sample sent to, or received by, the laboratory. A representative quantity of material removed from the bulk sample.

Notes.

(a) The laboratory sample may be the whole or a part of the bulk sample.

(b) Units should not be cut or broken to produce the laboratory sample(s), except where subdivision of units is specified in Table 3.

(c) Replicate laboratory samples may be prepared.

Lot

A quantity of a food material delivered at one time and known, or presumed, by the sampling officer to have uniform characteristics such as origin, producer, variety, packer, type of packing, markings, consignor, etc. A suspect lot is one which, for any reason, is suspected to contain an excessive residue. A non-suspect lot is one for which there is no reason to suspect that it may contain an excessive residue.

Notes.

(a) Where a consignment is comprised of lots which can be identified as originating from different growers, etc., each lot should be considered separately.

(b) A consignment may consist of one or more lots.

(c) Where the size or boundary of each lot in a large consignment is not readily established, each one of a series of wagons, lorries, ship’s bays, etc., may be considered to be a separate lot.

(d) A lot may be mixed by grading or manufacturing processes, for example.

Primary sample

One or more units taken from one position in a lot.

Notes.

(a) The position from which a primary sample is taken in the lot should preferably be chosen randomly but, where this is physically impractical, it should be from a random position in the accessible parts of the lot.

(b) The number of units required for a primary sample should be determined by the minimum size and number of laboratory samples required.

(c) For plant, egg and dairy products, where more than one primary sample is taken from a lot, each should contribute an approximately similar proportion to the bulk sample.

(d) Units may be allocated randomly to replicate laboratory samples at the time of collecting the primary sample(s), in cases where the units are of medium or large size and mixing the bulk sample would not make the laboratory sample(s) more representative, or where the units (e.g. eggs, soft fruit) could be damaged by mixing.

(e) Where primary samples are taken at intervals during loading or unloading of a lot, the sampling “position” is a point in time.

(f) Units should not be cut or broken to produce the primary sample(s), except where subdivision of units is specified in Table 3.

Sample

One or more units selected from a population of units, or a portion of material selected from a larger quantity of material. For the purposes of these recommendations, a representative sample is intended to be representative of the lot, the bulk sample, the animal, etc., in respect of its pesticide residue content and not necessarily in respect of other attributes.

Sampling

The procedure used to draw and constitute a sample.

Sampling device

(i) A tool such as a scoop, dipper, borer, knife or spear, used to remove a unit from bulk material, from packages (such as drums, large cheeses) or from units of meat or poultry which are too large to be taken as primary samples. (ii) A tool such as a riffle box, used to prepare a laboratory sample from a bulk sample, or to prepare an analytical portion from an analytical sample.

Notes.

(a) Specific sampling devices are described by ISO1,2,3 and IDF4 standards.

(b) For materials such as loose straw or leaves, the hand of the sampling officer may be considered to be a sampling device.

Sampling officer

A person trained in sampling procedures and, where required, authorised by the appropriate authorities to take samples.

Note. The sampling officer is responsible for all procedures leading to and including preparation, packing and shipping of the laboratory sample(s). The officer must understand that consistent adherence to the specified sampling procedures is necessary, must provide complete documentation for samples, and should collaborate closely with the laboratory.

Sample size

The number of units, or quantity of material, constituting the sample.

Unit

The smallest discrete portion in a lot, which should be withdrawn to form the whole or part of a primary sample.

Note. Units should be identified as follows.

(a) Fresh fruit and vegetables. Each whole fruit, vegetable or natural bunch of them (e.g. grapes) should form a unit, except where these are small. Units of packaged small products may be identified as in (d), below. Where a sampling device may be used without damaging the material, units may be created by this means. Individual eggs, fresh fruit or vegetables must not be cut or broken to produce units.

(b) Large animals or parts or organs of them. A portion, or the whole, of a specified part or organ should form a unit. Parts or organs may be cut to form units.

(c) Small animals or parts or organs of them. Each whole animal or complete animal part or organ present may form a unit. Where packaged, units may be identified as in (d), below. Where a sampling device may be used without affecting residues, units may be created by this means.

(d) Packaged materials. The smallest discrete packages should be taken as units. Where the smallest packages are very large, they should be sampled as bulk, as in (e), below. Where the smallest packages are very small, a pack of packages may form the unit.

(e) Bulk materials and large packages (such as drums, cheeses, etc.) which are individually too large to be taken as primary samples. The units are created with a sampling device.

ANNEX II. A Schematic representation of sampling: meat and poultry

ANNEX II. B Schematic representation of sampling: products other than meat and poultry

ANNEX III. Examples

Notes. (i) These examples are provided only as illustrations, they do not form part of the recommendations. (ii) Decisions as to whether or not an MRL is exceeded should be based on the analytical data available but decisions on the consequent action are a matter for the authorities involved.

Example A.

The assumed facts:

1. A 500 t consignment of imported frozen animal carcasses, 300 t labelled as producer A and 200 t labelled as producer B, is to be checked for residues.

2. The carcasses are from an exporter whose products have recently been associated with excessive residues of permethrin (fat-soluble) and diflubenzuron (non-fat-soluble).

3. Carcasses in lot A have trimmable fat, whereas those in lot B do not.

4. The sampling plan is to provide a 95% probability of detection if 10% of the carcasses contain excessive residues.

5. There is no legal requirement to prepare replicate laboratory samples.

6. Sampling records are in hard copy form.

7. Rendering of fat tissue for extraction of lipid is acceptable under national law.

Consequent actions and decisions:
1. The consignment is sampled as 2 separate, suspect lots, A and B.

2. Table 2 shows that 29 laboratory samples should be taken and therefore, as far as practicable, 29 carcasses are selected at random from each lot.

3. From each selected carcass in lot A, a minimum of 0.5 kg of adhering fat tissue is taken as a (primary) laboratory sample and a minimum of 0.5 kg of meat (meat does not include bone) is taken as a separate (primary) laboratory sample.

4. The carcasses in lot B have no trimmable fat and 29 samples of 2 kg meat are taken.

5. As each laboratory sample is taken, it is placed in a new polythene bag, securely labelled and sealed, and the sample record completed. The samples are sent to the laboratory, ensuring that they do not thaw. Copies of the sample records are given to the owner/custodian of the consignment. Copies are sent with the samples and also retained by the sampling officer.

6. Fat tissue laboratory samples from lot A are rendered, the lipid collected and aliquots (analytical portions) analyzed for permethrin residues. The results are expressed on a whole fat tissue basis.

7. Bones, if any, are removed from the meat laboratory samples, which are minced before the determination of diflubenzuron residues in analytical portions. The results are expressed on the basis of whole meat without bone.

8. If meat samples from both lots contain diflubenzuron £0.05 mg/kg and all samples from lot A contain <1 mg/kg permethrin, lot B is acceptable and lot A is acceptable with respect to diflubenzuron residues.

9. If 3 of the 29 fat samples of lot A contain permethrin >1 mg/kg, replicate analytical portions of fat from these 3 laboratory samples are analyzed. Taking into account the analytical uncertainty, if the results confirm that the MRL is exceeded, the 3 carcasses do not comply with the MRL, whereas the other 26 do comply with the MRL.

10. If the entire lot is not to be rejected on this basis, laboratory samples of fat tissue from the remaining carcasses in lot A may be taken for analysis, in order to separate the acceptable carcasses from those that are unacceptable.

Example B.

The assumed facts:

1. A consignment of 60 t of apples in 12 kg cartons (each containing approximately 100 apples) is to be checked for residues.

2. All cartons have the same grower code and date marks.

3. Triplicate laboratory samples are required by national law.

4. The sampling officer is unsure of the degree of mixing that has occurred during packing and grading.

5. Sampling records are in hard copy form.

6. A replicate laboratory sample is held by the monitoring laboratory, until required for analysis by the referee laboratory.

Consequent actions and decisions:
1. The consignment is sampled as a single lot.

2. As far as practicable, 10 cartons are selected at random and 3 new polythene bags provided for the laboratory samples.

3. From each carton, apples are taken and placed in each of the bags (1-2 in each), ensuring that in each bag there is a minimum of 10 apples, weighing a total of ³1 kg. The bags are then securely labelled and sealed, and the sample records completed and attached.

4. Two of the laboratory samples are sent to the monitoring laboratory and the third laboratory sample is given to the owner/custodian of the lot.

5. At the monitoring laboratory, the first laboratory sample is prepared and processed and an analytical portion analyzed. The second laboratory sample is retained without further processing.

6. If the results show the confirmed presence of iprodione in excess of the MRL of 10 mg/kg, one or more replicate analytical portion are analyzed.

7. If the results indicate that the MRL is exceeded, the authorities notify the owner/custodian of the consignment (who may arrange independent analysis of the laboratory sample provided) and send the remaining sealed laboratory sample to a reference laboratory.

8. Taking into account the analytical uncertainty at both laboratories, if the results from the reference laboratory indicate residues of iprodione ³10 mg/kg, the MRL is considered to be exceeded.

APPENDIX VIII. AGREED CCPR POSITIONS ON ESTIMATION OF EMRLS CCPR RISK MANAGEMENT ISSUES

1. Candidates for EMRLs - Should EMRL estimation be restricted only to pesticides for which uses are no longer registered or approved by a national authority (completely banned, banned on foods, restricted uses)?

CCPR requests for JMPR estimation of EMRLs are to be limited to those pesticides (including metabolites, reaction products and accompanying contaminants of pesticide production and use) and pesticide-commodity combinations for which uses are no longer registered or approved at the national level for food/feed purposes, or for which the CCPR concludes that public health concerns have not been relieved in the absence of EMRLs. (Bolded text is intended to allow the CCPR, as a risk management decision option, to request JMPR estimation of EMRLs in cases where one or two countries insist on continued use of a pesticide which has been banned in most countries.)

2. Environmental Persistence - Should EMRLs be estimated only for chemicals which are persistent in the environment? If so, by what measure should that be defined?

EMRLS should be estimated only for discontinued pesticides (as defined in 1 above) which are persistent in the environment. It is suggested as a guide that EMRL consideration be given to former pesticides for which it is anticipated that residual residues of regulatory concern will likely occur for a period of 3 or more years after discontinuation of the use (under ideal conditions approximately the minimum time for an EMRL candidate to be scheduled, reviewed, recommended and adopted).

3. Residues in food/feed - Should residues need first to be found at some level of regulatory significance in foods/feeds in trade? If so, what kinds of measures of regulatory significance should be considered?

Yes, residues of regulatory significance should be occurring in food/feeds in trade. Measures of regulatory significance may include, but not be limited to, a potential health concern and/or other regulatory concerns such as environmental concerns which may be monitored with EMRLs in food/feed.

4. Trade issue - Should there be a trade problem (reported to CCPR) before EMRLs are estimated for a pesticide/commodity combination, or should it be based on the potential for a trade problem, because of its persistence and the presence of measurable residues.

Either condition is a basis for considering a request for JMPR EMRL estimation. A greater burden of proof would be expected when no trade problem has been occurring, perhaps based on a history of monitoring data.

5. Proof of source of residues - Should the country requesting EMRL estimation be requested/required to provide proof or some credible evidence or rationale that reported residues (the data base) are not the result of purposeful uses?

Yes, the requesting country has an obligation to provide some credible assurance that residues in a data base to support EMRL estimates do not result from intentional use. For example, in some cases it may be possible to document when a national use(s) was discontinued and/or in some cases possibly that monitoring data show residues are less than the norm when the use was approved.

6. Health aspect - related to 3 above, should a health risk concern be a requirement or the only basis or requesting EMRL estimations? This relates to consistency with WTO SPS[45] consistency concerns that have been expressed.

A potential health concern (e.g., possibility of intake exceeding the ADI) may be a major reason for requesting estimation of EMRLs. However, as described in 3 above and in more detail below under “periodic review”, other reasons may also qualify. For example, just the lack of a trading standard can create trade problems, even if there is no health concern per se. As long as EMRLs are not established so low as to create significant trade barriers, the Committee does not consider concerns other than “ADI exceedances” as a basis for requesting an EMRL estimate inconsistent with WTO SPS principles.

7. CCPR Priorities - Should the CCPR use the same criteria for scheduling JMPR review as used for MRLs? If not, how should it differ?

If the CCPR decides to develop criteria for EMRLs this question will need to be referred to a working Group on Priorities or to whatever working group is formed to develop the criteria.

8. Periodic reviews of EMRLs - Should the CCPR support a periodic JMPR re-evaluation of EMRLs?

The CCPR supports the concept of a periodic review of EMRLs with reevaluations approximately every 5 years if it can be scheduled. In no case should it be greater than 8 years. While a periodic review of all EMRLs for given chemicals at regular intervals is recommended, reconsideration of individual EMRLs may be considered outside a periodic review if extraordinary circumstances require it. If the EMRLs do not significantly restrict trade the CCPR does not consider periodic review of EMRLs inconsistent with WTO SPS principles.

9. CCPR Data Issue - Location/amount - Should the CCPR specify that a minimum data base (e.g., minimum number of countries, minimum number of samples/commodity?) be committed before requesting the JMPR to conduct EMRL estimates or should a request and data commitment from one country with a problem/concern suffice (meaning if other countries have a different opinion on the need they have the opportunity to submit data to support their view)?

The CCPR should leave to the JMPR whether data are adequate to make an EMRL estimate. The country making a request normally has a valid reason from its perspective for doing so. It has an obligation to provide good supporting documentation and the CCPR has an obligation to consider its concern, whether other countries have a similar problem or not.

JMPR RISK ASSESSMENT ISSUES

10. Types of data - What types of data should be provided for estimation of EMRLs? - The same toxicology data requirements as for MRLs? Routine random monitoring data? targeted monitoring data? Multi-year monitoring data? Other than toxicology and residue data what other data should data submitters be requested to provide, the same as for MRLs or just those related to the integrity of the residue data (e.g., analytical methodology, storage stability, sampling)?

The CCPR supports the JMPR practice of estimating EMRLs on the basis of random monitoring data. It does not consider “targeted” monitoring data in most cases to be appropriate for that purpose, recognising that it is useful for other purposes, including possible development of residue mitigation strategies.

If the CCPR concludes as a risk management decision, that a JMPR EMRL estimate based on random monitoring data would result in an unacceptable economic disruption and is convinced that residue reduction strategies are not possible, it may request the JMPR to consider re-estimating an EMRL on the basis of other than random monitoring data and request a new risk assessment based on that new estimate.

The CCPR leaves other data type requirement issues to the JMPR.

11. Standard format - Should data submissions be required or requested to be in a standard format?
If so, which formats should be recommended?

The CCPR recommends that the JMPR specify what standard format they would prefer for EMRL data submissions if something more than guidance in the FAO Manual is needed.

12. Statistical treatment - Should data submitters be required or requested to provide a statistical treatment of the data in addition to the “raw” data provided? If so, what information should be requested (e.g., number of samples analyzed, number of samples found with residues, number within residue ranges, number with no detections (what level?), limit of detection/determination, percentile figures)?

Countries requesting EMRL estimations should be referred to JMPR general guidance for EMRLs provided in the 1997 FAO Manual on the Submission and Evaluation of Pesticide Residues Data for the Estimation of Maximum Residue Levels in Food and Feed. They should be encouraged to provide all of the information listed above, but it should be required only if the JMPR requires it.

13. Limits of Determination - It has been recommended that the JMPR should continue to recommend suitable limits of determination for EMRLs.

The CCPR supports that recommendation as long as there is a reasonable expectation that residues may occur in a given commodity (or commodity group). Revocation of EMRLs should be considered, once there is no longer evidence that residues are likely to occur in practice.

14. Commodity Group EMRLs - One country recommends that EMRLs be estimated for commodity groups where possible.

The Committee endorses this recommendation.

15. Outliers - The JMPR and some countries do not consider the frequently used term to be appropriate for EMRL situations. Some prefer the term “extreme values”.

The CCPR accepts the principle that there may be sound reasons for excluding extreme values when estimating an EMRL. The CCPR accepts that the JMPR will need to determine inclusion or exclusion of extreme values on a case-by-case basis and that in accordance with 10 above, under certain circumstances the CCPR may request the JMPR to consider the use of data other than random monitoring data. The CCPR recognizes that the JMPR must retain the flexibility to consider various factors or approaches for exclusion of extreme values (including percentile approaches, violation rates or others) according to the circumstances of a given data base. The CCPR recognizes the need for such judgements to be based on sound science and for the scientific and other bases to be well documented.

16. Violation rates - The JMPR has described its practice of using likely violation rates as one tool for helping it arrive at an EMRL recommendation. It assumes 0.5 to 1% violation rates would be unacceptable to most countries, but invites countries to express a view on this topic.

The Committee accepts that any EMRL must be protective of the public health in the first instance. Once this criteria is fully met the Committee supports analyzes which result in EMRLs which are not so low as to be readily indistinguishable from background and not so low as to result in unnecessary trade disruption. At the same time the Committee supports EMRLs that are not so high that they will not detect continued uses of discontinued products, localised hot spots or do not reflect evidence of the expected continued decline of contaminants resulting from former pesticide uses.

The CCPR recognizes that an arbitrary violation rate or range would not be applicable to every situation. However, the CCPR accepts that the taking into account by the JMPR of violation rates which are consistent with actual enforcement practices of importing countries can be a useful tool to augment other tools in the exclusion of extreme values in submitted monitoring data. The CCPR recommends that the JMPR, in applying any violation rates to the setting of EMRLs, document the scientific and other bases on which the violation rate was set, in accord with CAC decisions and taking into account relevant WTO rulings. The CCPR encourages countries to submit violation rates with respect to incidences of trade disruption.
