Honey definition
Honey is the natural sweet substance produced by
honey bees from the nectar of plants or from
secretions of living parts of plants or
excretions of plant sucking insects on the living
parts of plants, which honey bees collect,
transform by combining with specific substances
of their own, deposit, dehydrate, store and leave
in thehoney comb to ripen and mature.

But, the core requirement for importing honey
into the EU is for the country in question to
have a residue monitoring plan, approved by the
EU. This plan is intended to assess the ability
of the official services of the exporting country
to ensure the safety of the honey with regard to
residues of chemical substances in it.
32
Why? Due to concerns about food safety, residue
monitoring plans are required from third
countries for imports into the EU of all animals
and products of animal origin. This is laid down
in Council Directive 96/23/EC of 29 April 1996 on
measures to monitor certain substances and
residues thereof in live animals and animal
products (OJ L 125, 23/5/1996). Honey is
considered as an animal product.
33

• The control of residues in honey is important to
  control the traces of any contamination that the
  bees have picked up. Three main groups of
  products are targeted for examination
• Banned veterinary substances (such as
  chloramphenicol)
• Authorised veterinary substances (but found in
  excess of their authorised limits, such as
  antibiotics and insecticides)
• Environmental pollutants (such as pesticides or
  heavy metals)

34

• The SUMMARY OF INFORMATION TO BE SUBMITTED
  CONCERNING A RESIDUE MONITORING PLAN FOR HONEY
• GENERAL INFORMATION
• 1.1. Legislation concerning the use of substances
  of Annex I (Directive 96/23/EC - Article 71).
• 1.2. Infrastructure of the official services
  information on co-ordination of the activities of
  central and regional departments (Directive
  96/23/EC - Article 72 and article 4).
• 1.3. List of Official Laboratories (Directive
  96/23/EC - Article 73).

35
The SUMMARY OF INFORMATION TO BE SUBMITTED
CONCERNING A RESIDUE MONITORING PLAN FOR
HONEY 1.4. Level of competence of the National
Reference Laboratorie(s), as well as routine
Laboratories, particularly as regards the
implementation of Quality Assurance, or good
laboratory practices. 1.5 National tolerance
limits (MRLs) for authorised substances and
environmental contaminants (Directive 96/23/EC -
Article 74). 1.6. Official sampling procedures
in the field, including information on how
samples are secured after collection (using flow
charts). 1.7. Description of measures taken by
the competent authorities where residues are
detected (Directive 96/23/EC - Article 77-8)
36
The SUMMARY OF INFORMATION TO BE SUBMITTED
CONCERNING A RESIDUE MONITORING PLAN FOR
HONEY 2. BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON
PRODUCTION 2.1. Total figures of
production. 2.2. Type of production of 2.1.
(intensive, extensive, wild or mixed
systems) 2.3. Production planned to be exported
to the EU. (Decision 97/747/EC).
37
The SUMMARY OF INFORMATION TO BE SUBMITTED
CONCERNING A RESIDUE MONITORING PLAN FOR
HONEY 3. SCOPE OF THE RESIDUE PLAN 3.1. Groups
of residues covered (as listed in Directive
96/23/EC - Annex I) Breakdown of substances
monitored (Directive 96/23/EC - Article
75). 3.2. Details of analysis methods -
screening/routine and confirmation, with action
levels and detection limits (Directive 96/23/EC -
Article 75). 4. FREQUENCIES AND LEVELS OF THE
CONTROLS 4.1. Number of samples to be taken for
each sub-group of substances (Dec 97/747/EC ).
For third countries, the figures could only refer
to exports to EU in that case, garanties for
appropriate segregation and control must be given
(Directive 96/23/EC - Article 76).
38
The SUMMARY OF INFORMATION TO BE SUBMITTED
CONCERNING A RESIDUE MONITORING PLAN FOR
HONEY 5. TARGETING CRITERIA 5.1. Results from
previous years. 5.2. Changes based on analysis of
the residue plan of the previous years (whereas
such plans exists), particularly as regards
problem areas identified (Directive 96/23/EC -
Article 82).
