    Notes to Annex 4

    1.   Temporary acceptance 

    2.   Temporary MRL 

    3.   Group MRL for febantel, fenbendazole, and oxfendazole individually or
         in combination. The MRL value is the sum of the concentrations of
         fenbendazole, oxfendazole, and oxfendazole sulfone, calculated as
         oxfendazole sulfone equivalents.

    4.   WHO Technical Report Series, No. 788, 1989.

    5.   Insufficient toxicological information was available to establish
         an ADI.

    6.   MRLs were not established because an ADI was not allocated.

    7.   Insufficient information was available to establish an MRL.
