24 International Activities

25 IR-4 s International Activities Canada Support Existing Tolerances IR-4 Leadership Global Minor Use Summits Codex (e.g. Crop Groups) OECD Capacity building Research

26 NAFTA Win-Win Model Cooperative research with Canada started in 1996/Major funding and expansion in 2003 Mutual projects conducted jointly on both sides of the border Seamless process Reduced data needs of each country (zoning) Supported by EPA/PMRA joint reviews and workshare SUCCESS! Regulatory Cooperation Council (RCC)

27 Regulatory Cooperation Council High level agreement to better align our regulatory approaches Project 29-Gaining Regulatory Efficiencies for Pesticides Opportunity to facilitate equal access to products and uses in US & Canada/align MRLs wherever possible. Action areas 1. Encourage Joint submissions of Use Expansions and fully aligned labels 2. Develop joint guidelines for residue trials 3. Address obstacles to joint registration 4. Align data collection processes/procedures for residue trials Meetings between IR-4 and PMC in March and June to discuss harmonization of common documentation such as protocols, field notebooks, analytical reports and final reports Global relevance?

28 IR-4 s International Activities Canada Support Existing Tolerances IR-4 Leadership Global Minor Use Summits Codex (e.g. Crop Groups) OECD Capacity building Research

29 IR-4 s International Activities Support Existing Tolerances Mine IR-4 archives for data submission to international bodies (Over 100 reports submitted to JMPR/EFSA/Reg. Authorities) Supplement existing data with new data that meet international requirements Run new IR-4 domestic research programs with eye on international data requirements

30 IR-4 s International Activities Canada Support Existing Tolerances IR-4 Leadership Global Minor Use Summits Codex (e.g. Crop Groups) OECD Capacity building Research

31 IR-4 s International Activities Canada Support Existing Tolerances IR-4 Leadership Capacity building Research

32 Funding from STDF *contributions from manufacturers, USDA, FAO, others Tropical Fruit Residue Study Asia Latin America Project Coordination US, others??? Africa JMPR joint submission

33

34 Capacity Development Why is IR-4 Involved Vision of global network of capable minor use programs Help establish and mentor these minor use programs Partner with other data development groups

35 IR-4 s International Activities Canada Support Existing Tolerances IR-4 Leadership Capacity building Research Global residue studies Tomato Blueberry (BYI 2960)

36 GLOBAL RESIDUE STUDY-Tomato englobal RESIDUE STUDY

37 Climates Trials cover Temperate Australia, USA (MD), Canada(BC), Canada(Ontario), Japan, Korea(2 trials), France, South Africa, Poland, China (Guangzhao) Arid -Yemen, China (Bejing), Mexico, India Tropical Brazil, Nigeria, Kenya, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mediterranean Australia, USA (CA), Spain, Italy, Turkey, Egypt, Morocco

38 CONCLUSIONS Calculated MRLs were similar (difference 0.1 ppm or less)across all climatic zones and continents compared to the overall MRL(Complete data set). When analyzed statistically across sample times, greatest residues were in the arid climate and least in temperate climate

39 GLOBAL RESIDUE STUDY-Blueberry englobal RESIDUE STUDY

40 Zoning (Kopper-Geiger climate map)

41 Why a Global Residue Program? Prospective projects are the most efficient and economical Growers: new, safer technologies sooner, global MRL s, trading - at the same time Regulators: work sharing, efficiency, robust data packages, consistent global decisions, harmonized MRL s Registrants: products to market faster, registrations global/more countries, efficiency, harmonized safety standards, less food-chain issues

42 IR-4 s International Activities

43 IR-4 Funding Direct Contributions >$18 million USDA-NIFA $12,000,000 USDA-ARS $ 4,000,000 USDA-ARS/DoD $ 250,000 USDA-FAS $ 500,000 USDA-APHIS $ 900,000 State Ag. Exp. Stations $ 481,182 Donations from Industry $ 1,420,000 Indirect Contributions Valued at $18 million but diminishing

44 Obama s Proposal IR-4 Funding Update Consolidated Crop Protection Program - IR-4 w/ IPM IR-4 Mission not part of new program IPM centric 30% Indirect Recovery allowed devastating! Stakeholder Response Save IR-4 ( Maintain a dedicated IR-4 Project with dedicated funding at functional equivalent levels Congress Response Reject Obama s proposal! APLU Super Committee

45 IR-4 s Response Exceptional return on taxpayer investment $7.2 Billion to GDP 104,000 jobs IR-4 is still needed New pests/new crops Increased exports of domestically grown specialty crops Public Health Pesticides
