Priority chemicals for regulations internationally
Submissions for MRLs in tea
Identify opportunities
Field trial data from producing countries / AgroChem Co.s
Residue monitoring data
MRLs globally for tea
Build working partnership with Agrochemical Co.s
Open dialogue with AgroChem Co.s
Discuss priority compounds for tea & Co.s
Agree inclusion of tea in submissions
Provision of field trial data etc.

Approach – transparent & consistent
Stakeholders – identify keycontacts:
government, global regulatory
authorities, chemical industry, tea
industry
Timing – logical sequence of contact
Action plan and recommendations proposal
Continue to develop the strategy – elaborate
the activities for each goal
Champions of each goal to work with other
contributors
Review and update the chemical priority list
Update the field trial timetable
Continue making MRL submissions
