    RESIDUES

    Explanation

         The Codex Committee on Pesticide Residues asked the Meeting to
    reconsider the definition of the residue. The original data were
    studied (FAO/WHO 1969).1

         No data were available for evaluation that indicated the
    concentration of parent compound and its oxygen analogue separately,
    except for data on cattle milk, in which the maximum concentration of
    parent compound was 0.27 and 0.16 mg/kg at 6 and 30 h after the last
    application. The oxygen analogue was not detectable (<0.1 mg/kg)
    (FAO/WHO 1979).1

         Because of the lack of suitable residue data, the definition of
    the residue cannot be changed.
