juice in January after it was notified by a juice company in<br />
late December of the detection of the fungicide, which is not<br />
permitted in US juice (<strong>Agrow</strong> No 632, p 12).<br />
By February 2nd, the FDA had found at least 10 ppb of<br />

shipments were from Canada <strong>and</strong> 11 were from Brazil. The<br />

seeks the submission of a pilot application including a significant<br />

The EPA <strong>and</strong> the PMRA would jointly review the pilot submission<br />
over a negotiated timeline of 15 months. The work plan calls for<br />
the initiation of discussions on the development of an incentive<br />
process for the joint submission of use expansions within 6-12<br />
months. The feasibility of adopting such joint submissions would<br />
be reviewed after 18 months.<br />
The initiative also calls for the development of joint guidelines<br />
for residue trials <strong>and</strong> the alignment of data collection procedures<br />

MEETING<br />

for those trials. Ultimately, each country could accept the other’s<br />
