2 Going to eport how to start? Comply to customers requirement s Certification, Packaging, labeling Size, ripening, temperature at delivery Crop variety, standard, Price, design Cross the border, Know the requiremen ts for documentat ion on the border, in customs, Phytosanita ry certificates, Pesticide residue analyses Production growing, Harvesting, handling, sorting, packing, storage, transportatio n distributor

3 Graduation of food safety controls on borders [Official controls Reg. 882/2004. Normal control mode Reduced frequency of controls Reinforced control mode Special requirements for import Emergency measures Prohibition on import

Categories coloured blue have predominantly undecided risk and those coloured orange have predominantly serious and undecided risk as compared with not serious. heavy metals industrial contaminants labelling absent/incomplete/incorrect Migration mycotoins non-pathogenic micro-organisms not determined / other 3 6 novel food organoleptic aspects 8 23 packaging defective / incorrect parasitic infestation pathogenic micro-organisms pesticide residues poor or insufficient controls radiation residues of veterinary medicinal products

The second column orig shows the number of 2017 notifications for each country to which the Commission s Services notified a product originating from it. The third column other gives the number of notifications for which the country was notified for another reason than origin or distribution e.g. if the product transited through the country. The fourth column follow-ups shows the number of follow-ups received from each country in 2017

6 MRL in RASFF report As many as 132 out of the 186 notifications are rejections at the EEA border. These products therefore never entered the EU. This is certainly in part due to the list of commodities held under Regulation (EC) No 669/2009, which is reviewed twice yearly, requiring intensified checks at the border. From 1 January 2016 however, working instruction 2.2 is applied in RASFF for evaluating the risk posed by pesticide residue notifications on the basis of a short term intake eceeding the acute reference dose for a pesticide active substance. If the acute residue dose is not eceeded, no health risk is epected. From 2016 onwards therefore, for notifications made in RASFF on pesticide residues, the residue level is sufficiently high to not allow ecluding an acute health risk to the consumer. For some substances however, the acute reference dose is not determined while an acute health risk is not ruled out. Such notifications are accepted if these substances are found in levels above the MRL. Propargite is one such substance.
