    Explanation

    This pesticide was evaluated at the 1966 Joint Meeting (FAO/WHO
    1967b).* Particular points about it have been discussed at subsequent
    Joint Meetings and monograph addenda have been issued for each
    (FAO/WHO, 1968b and 1969b).*

    The Fourth Session of the Codex Committee on Pesticide Residues asked
    for clarification whether the recommendation for a temporary tolerance
    of 0.1 ppm for root vegetables included sugar beets. After discussion
    it was decided to issue the following monograph addendum:

    RECOMMENDATION FOR TEMPORARY TOLERANCE FOR ROOT VEGETABLES

    The monograph on the 1968 Joint Meeting (FAO/WHO, 1969b)* did not
    clearly indicate whether sugar beets should be included or excluded
    from the category of root vegetables for which a temporary tolerance
    had been recommended. It was decided that sugar beets should be
    excluded, because insufficient data had been available in 1968 and
    none had been received since that time.

    Attention was drawn to the fact that the monograph issued from the
    1968 Meeting (FAO/WHO 1969b)* on p. 197 had asked for data pertaining
    to sugar beets.
