On December 20, 2013, new Russian Hygiene Norms and Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) for pesticides and chemicals in external entities, including agricultural and food products, came into force (Hygiene Norms 1.2.3111-13). These Russian norms contain most of the Draft Amendments proposed on April 10, 2012 for MRLs by the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC).
