6) brake or prevent undesirable growth of plants.
Paragraph 2. For the purpose of pesticide residues, the residues of the active substances covered by paragraph 1 shall be taken into the same vein. 1, as well as the degradation and reaction products of active substances.
Restcontent and so on
§ 3. Whether the content originate from a treatment or contamination, it is prohibited to sell :
1) Products that contain pesticide residues if the content exceeds the maximum levels set out in Annexes 1 or 2.
2) Products covered by it at all times in the case of processed child foods for infants and small children if they contain residues of pesticides in quantities exceeding 0,01 mg/kg, but see. paragraph 3 and paragraph 1. 4, of the product in question in the form ;
a) which are available for consumption, or
b) which are prepared according to the instructions given by the manufacturer.
3) Products covered by it at any time in the case of breast-milk substitutes and forceps for infants and small children if they contain residues of pesticides in quantities exceeding 0,01 mg/kg, but see. paragraph 3 and paragraph 1. 4, of the product in question in the form ;
a) which are available for consumption, or
b) which are prepared according to the instructions given by the manufacturer.
Paragraph 2. Where a specific MRLs are not provided for a product in either dried or processed state or a compound foodstuff, the maximum value specified shall be the maximum value specified in respect of the concentration or dilution of the product, the levels of pesticide residues due on the part of the treatment, and the relative content of the raw materials.
Paragraph 3. Notwithstanding the general limit of paragraph 1. 1, no. 2 (2) and (3) the specific maximum limits applicable to baby food and processed foodstuffs based on cerealis and breast-milk substitutions for infants and small children shall be used in Annex 2.
Paragraph 4. Notwithstanding the general limit of paragraph 1. 1, no.
