2 Pesticide Monitoring in 2000 Fruit and Vegetables Report concerning directives 90/642/EEC, 86/362/EEC and Commission Recommendation 2000/43/EU Samples for the coordinated have been analysed by two federal laboratories for food control (Bundesanstalt für Lebensmitteluntersuchung und forschung in Wien und Bundesanstalt für Lebensmitteluntersuchung in Innsbruck). Samples of the national programme and routine were analysed by the above mentioned laboratories and also by the Federal Institutes for Food Control Graz, Linz and Salzburg. The Control project has been coordinated by the National Food Administration.

5 PESTICIDE RESIDUE MONITORING IN AUSTRIA, 2000 A total of 932 were analysed under the co-ordinated, national pesticide monitoring program and routine. Most of the were fresh fruits and vegetables. Beside that other products like cereals were analyzed. The national pesticide monitoring is done according to a nation-wide sampling plan designed by the Institute of Applied Statistics and System Analysis (Joanneum Research, Graz) in co-operation with the Federal Minister of Social Security and Generations. The plan was based on data concerning dietary consumption, production and import of fruits and vegetables and results of former measurements. The analytical and budgetary possibilities were taken into account, too. The co-ordinated programme of the European Commission was of course also done. The were taken by trained officials from the local Food Inspection Service ( Lebensmittelaufsicht ). The analysis of the co-ordinated programme, the national monitoring programme and routine also were made by two federal laboratories for food control (Bundesanstalt für Lebensmitteluntersuchung und forschung in Wien und Bundesanstalt für Lebensmitteluntersuchung in Innsbruck). Three federal laboratories for food control (Bundesanstalten für Lebensmitteluntersuchung in Graz, Linz und Salzburg) made the analyses of some of the national monitoring programme and routine. The analytical methods were adopted from published methods of the Dutch federal laboratories ( Analytical Methods for Pesticide Residues in Foodstuffs, 6 th Ed., General Inspectorate for Health Protection, Ministry of Public Health, Welfare and Sport, The Netherlands) and validated in the laboratories. The fruits and vegetables were analysed up to a maximum of 101 pesticides. The methods used were a GC multimethod with ECD-, NPD- and FPD-detection. GC/MS-methods are primarily applied for confirmation purposes of the other GC methods, a HPLC-method for benzimidazolfungicides and a spectrophotometric method for the sum of dithiocarbamates. All laboratories involved in the co-ordinated programme and the national monitoring programme including the routine got the accreditation in the year Summary of results are shown in the following table and figures:
