CY CYPRUS

• Sampling should take place over the entire year (January to December); • The tender of Veterinary Services of Cyprus for the interest of accredited

laboratories to carry out the laboratory examinations of substances of animal tissues and food of animal origin that are included in the National Residues Plan concerning the year 2011 must be published in the European gazette early in July 2010;

• Horsemeat. There is not slaughterhouse for horses. Horsemeat is not used for human consumption in Cyprus. Horses exported from Cyprus accompanied by a Passport (Commission Decision 2000/68/EC) is implemented on the basis of “Genetic improvement of Animals” Law 86 (I) 2001, Κ.∆.Π. 522/2005, Αρ. 4051, 18.11.2005 in which mentioned all the drugs used for this horse and the withdrawal period;

• The number of Horses (Animals) 5700 which included in the plate of PRODUCTION by SPECIES of the DATABASE are the total live horses population of Cyprus NOT SLAUGTERED ANIMALS

• Efforts are in progress to arrange NRP tests to be carried out in foreign accredited laboratories in order to cover all the numbers on all substances provided in the programme for the year 2010;

• WE CONFIRM that all methods used by the foreign laboratories to carry out analysis were validated and accredited. This is a basic term included in the Tender. During the evaluation of laboratories responded to the Tender, the evaluation committee checked first if the method used by the laboratory is validated and accredited and for which matrix and if this method is included in the list of the accreditation body;

State Veterinary Administration (SVA) will carry out in cooperation with ISCVBM the study focused on residues of antibiotics (beta-lactams) in sows (muscle, liver, kidney). SVA will carry out in cooperation with CISTA the study focused on reason of high content of cadmium in kidney of bovine animals in some localities (soil – plant – cow). Non-compliant results Follow-up actions

Bovines B1: Neomycin cow/liver: 1740 ppb B1: Neomycin cow/muscle: 866 ppb, liver: 723 ppb B1: Tulathromycin calf/muscle: 1122 ppb, liver: 11431 ppb B3c: Cadmium (Cd) 8x kidney (cows) on 8 different farms: 2,22 ppm, 2,22 ppm, 2,2 ppm, 2,13 ppm, 1,97 ppm, 1,73 ppm, 1,48 ppm, 1,2 ppm.

Action: investigation was conducted on the farm; the treatment was not mentioned in FCI. Last treatment was 9.12.2009 (Mastijet forte intra uberis, Alamycin i.m.), cow was slaughtered 21.1.2010. Extraordinary veterinary measures were imposed; additional samples from other cows were taken: 5x livers (3x NC neomycin, 1x NCDHSTM, 1x compliant), 2x kidneys (1x NC DHSTM, 1x compliant). Withdrawal period was not kept. There were confiscated livers and kidneys from all cows which were treated by neomycin and DHSTM during last 100 days before slaughter. Frequency of official controls was increased on the farm. Action: all tissues was confiscated (whole body: by-product category 2 according to regulation (EC) 1774/2002). Investigation on the farm and at the private veterinarian was conducted. Withdrawal period was not kept. Action: investigation on the farm and at the private veterinarian was conducted. Withdrawal period was kept for last application of PNC (which has been written on list of treatment - 21 days) but it was used

57

Draxxin (tulathromycin - 49 days of WP). Treatment was not mentioned in FCI. Actions: investigations on the farms were conducted; follow-up testing of feed and additional testing of kidneys (in total 37 samples) were carried out on the farms concerned. Non-compliant findings occurred mostly in the older cows. Total condemnation of cows´ kidneys above defined age was ordered on 5 farms.

Pigs B1: Sulfadiazin fattening pig/muscle: 146 ppb, kidney: 246 ppb

Action: investigation on the farm was conducted. Withdrawal period was not kept. Treatment was not mentioned in FCI. Additional samples from 2 pigs (muscle, liver, kidney) was examined – compliant.

Poultry B2b: Nicarbazin chicken/liver: 620,5 ppb, 350,0 ppb

Action: two farms - residues of nicarbazin were detected in amount above the action limit which was recommended for chicken liver by the Codex Alimentarius - 200 ppb in liver. Investigation on the farms was conducted; extraordinary veterinary measures were imposed. Additional samples of livers and feed were taken (other batches) - all samples on two farms were compliant.

Sheep and goat

Horses B3c: Cadmium (Cd) horse/liver: 2,78 ppm, kidney - 57,2 ppm

The horse was 20 years old.

Milk

Eggs B2b: Nicarbazin hen eggs: 916 ppb + narazin 6,5 ppb B2b: Robenidin quail eggs: 63,2 ppb

Action: investigation on the farm was conducted; extraordinary veterinary measures were imposed; additional samples of eggs (14x) and feed (3x) and egg products (10x) were taken for further testing – eggs with NC samples (two hens hall) and all non-compliant egg products (melange) were confiscated. Probably it was cross contamination of feed; the producers of feeding mixtures have been warned. Action: investigation on the farm was conducted; probably cause was cross-contamination of feed mixture; extraordinary veterinary measures were imposed, expedition of eggs was block; additional samples (eggs and feed) were analysed – all compliant.

58

Group A substances Modification of national residue plan


Group A substances

A5 = Beta antagonists Aquacultures On the occasion of an FVO inspection mission in 2009, the Commission recommended to analyse aquacultures for ß antagonists, citing the minutes of a meeting in 2000 of the Commission’s working group on residue control plans. Yet, the minutes do not contain such a recommendation. As use of ß antagonists in aquacultures is questionable anyhow, we did not follow the Commission recommendation. According to the National Reference Laboratory, there is no new knowledge as regards the question whether it would make sense to include ß antagonists in NRCP testing. The NRL therefore did not recommend including this aspect in the NRCP, which is herewith brought to the Commission’s attention. A6 = Dapsone Bovines Germany has so far declined to include dapsone in the NRCP because there is no need to use the product as there have been no cases of granular dermatitis in cattle in Germany. The BVL database shows negative findings in 415 samples from 2007 to 2009, four of them stemming from other Member Sates. Dapsone was therefore considered only with a small sample number in the 2010 NRCP. A6 = Nitrofurans Bovines, ovines/caprines, farmed game, horses, and rabbits Oral administration of nitrofurans and nitroimidazoles seems little likely, but cannot be excluded in general, at least not for nitroimidazoles. The 2010 plan therefore provides for a few samples in cattle, sheep/goat, horses, farmed game, and rabbits to be analysed for nitrofurans and nitroimidazoles. A6 = Nitroimidazoles Milk The 2010 NRCP provides for testing milk for nitroimidazoles. A6 = Chloramphenicol Poultry Positive findings here have been attributed to hygienic problems in sample taking. Therefore, it does not seem necessary to enhance the sample number. The recommendation is to train sample taking personnel in this respect.

Non-compliant results Follow-up actions 1 Taleranol (beta-zearalanol); fattening cattle; urine; 2.01 µg/kg

Contents of alpha and beta zearalenol and of zearalenone indicate that mycotoxins are a likely cause of findings. On-site investigation at the farm of origin; examination of the records.

1 Taleranol (beta-zearalanol); cows; urine; 2.58 µg/kg

Contents of alpha and beta zearalenol and of zearalenone indicate that mycotoxins are a likely cause of findings. On-site investigation at the farm of origin; examination of the records. Control report pursuant to Art. 9 letter e of Regulation (EC) No. 796/2004 (Withdrawal of the possibility of receiving or requesting EU subsidies).

1 alpha-boldenone; cows; urine; 0.6 µg/kg

Group B substances Modification of national residue plan


B1 = Amino glycosides Bovine Amino glycosides were included new in the 2009 plan, with a relatively low number of samples. Because of positive findings in 2009, sample numbers in cattle and fattening calves have been increased by 1/3 (one third) in the 2010 plan. B1 = Sulfonamides Pigs After one finding exceeding the legal residue level of sulfonamide in swine in 2007 and six findings in 2008, the number of samples of swine has been raised to roughly 2000 animals in the 2010 NRCP. B2a = Benzimidazoles Milk, poultry and farmed game Sample numbers have been enhanced for 2010 to the end of obtaining more analytic data for an evaluation of relevance of the problem. B2b = Coccidiostatics The spectrum of coccidiostatic substances tested in eggs has been transferred to all other animal species and matrices (with the exception of milk and honey), but is confined to the substances subject to Regulation (EC) No. 124/2009. B2c = Carbamates and pyrethroids Horses BVL pointed out that horses have so far not been tested for carbamates and pyrethroids, though insecticides are playing an important role in horse keeping, in particular in summer. It is, for instance, usual to braid horse manes with insecticide clips. Therefore, it was decided that five horses should also be tested for pyrethroids under the 2010 NRCP. B2c = Lambda-cyhalothrin Honey Sample number enhanced by 20 per cent. B2d = Sedatives Testing for xylazine (Rompun®) was discussed. According to Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No. 2377/90, xylazine is authorised for use in bovines and Equidae, but not in pigs. Xylazine is a widely used sedative. It is increasingly being used in cattle kept in extensive pasture farming before slaughter, to facilitate handling of the animals. It was therefore decided to include xylazine in testing in bovines and horses for one year. B2e = NSAID Samples of horses are tested for all kinds of NSAID tested also in other animal species under the NRCP. In addition, ibuprofen and mefenamic acid have been included in analyses conducted in red meat, poultry, milk, and farmed game, and tolfenamic acid has been included in analyses in milk. Analyses of diclofenac in red meat are to be enhanced to improve the data basis. B2f = Carbadox and olaquindox The Commission holds that the substances carbadox and olaquindox, though no longer authorised for use, are relevant to health, and therefore recommends considering them in the NRCP. This question was also discussed in Germany before. Both substances are feed additives which are no longer permitted. They are subject to analyses in the framework of the feed control plan. In 2007 and 2008, a total of nearly 800 samples of single feed, feed pre-mixtures, and feed mixtures were analysed for carbadox and olaquindox, and all were

65

negative. According to our risk-based approach, carbadox and/or olaquindox will only be considered in the NRCP after there have been relevant findings in the feed control plan, or when there are other signs showing that the substances have actually been used. Hence, this problem has to be discussed anew when the 2011 plan is prepared. B2f = Cymiazole Honey Sample number enhanced by 20 percent for the whole group. B3a = Nicotine It was decided to raise the number of samples from 6 (to date) to 18 boiling chicken in the 2010 NRCP. B3b = Phosmet Phosmet has been included in the 2010 NRCP because there was one phosmet product about to be authorised for use in laying hens. We have now learnt that the application for this product has meanwhile been withdrawn. B3e = malachite green Aquacultures Sample number enhanced by ten per cent in the 2010 plan.

Follow-up actions

Chloramphenicol – 0.12 µg/kg- raw milk- cow

The sample was taken from dairy industry before the bulk tanker has discharged (milk from 2 farms cows together). The farms of origin were investigated immediately after receiving positive results. 2 milk samples were taken and analysed with negative results.

The follow-up inspection didn’t give any evidence of an illegal use of chloramphenicol.

Thiouracil – 4.10 µg/kg – urine - pig

The farm of origin was investigated immediately. There was no indication of an illegal use of thiouracil.

The presence of thiouracil at such low level could be linked as a result of the natural presence of crucifera plants in feed.

β-testosterone - <0.1 µg/kg; α-testosterone 2.8 µg/kg - serum – young bovine at farm α-testosterone 0.8 µg/kg - serum – young bovine at farm

2 samples were taken from one farm. The farm of origin was investigated immediately after receiving positive results.

Movement of animals from farm to other facilities or movement to the slaughterhouse was temporarily stopped. 2 additional (serum) samples were taken and analysed with negative results.

During the follow-up inspection in the farm of origin it became obvious that both samples were taken from pregnant young bovines and there were no indications of an illegal use of testosterone.

* Information to be included for each non-compliant result. In case of several non-compliant results for the same substance in the same holding or related holdings, data could be aggregated.

1. Cloranfenicol en leche de ovino.Control dirigido.2 µg/kg

Inmovilización de 344 ovejas en la explotación y de 3000 quesos elaborados a partir de la leche de la explotación. Apertura de expediente sancionador. Recogida de muestras de agua y de queso que resultaron negativas. Como resultado de la investigación se concluyó que el origen del cloranfenicol se encontraba en el conservante empleado para recogida de muestras decontrol lechero efectuada, por la Asociación de Ovino Lechero, en el mismo día en que se recogió la muestra para el PNIR. La contaminación tuvo lugar por desbordamiento del contenido de los envases en el flujo que conduce la leche al tanque. Como consecuencia de ello, se ha modificado el procedimiento de recogida de muestras de la citada asociación y se levantaron las medidas cautelares adoptadas en la explotación.

Pigs Suspect: Two suspect samples of one pig were non-compliant for oxytetracycline (muscle 1.08 mg/kg and kidney 13.2 mg/kg)

Two meat control samples of one pig were send for the confirmation due to the positive microbiological test results in the slaughterhouse. Official investigations in the farm of origin, checks of medicinal product records, no additional samples have been taken, the carcass has been declared unfit for human consumption. The possible reason for the source of the residue was some misunderstanding between the owner and the assisting personnel in farm.

En France, toute mise en évidence de substances interdites par une DDSV (direction départementale des services vétérinaires) doit être transmise à la Brigade Nationale d’Enquêtes Vétérinaires et Phytosanitaires (BNEVP) qui mène les enquêtes et informe les autorités juridiques. Dans le but de démanteler des trafics de substances interdites, les enquêtes sont longues et les rapports ne parviennent à la DGAL (Direction Générale de l’Alimentation) qu’une fois l’affaire jugée (secret de l’instruction).

Tous les élevages et établissements ayant eu des résultats non conformes au cours des plans de contrôle 2009 seront ciblés prioritairement pour les plans 2010.

Non-compliant results Follow-up actions Substance--Matrix-animal or animal product-Concentration* Example: MPA-kidney fat-pig-3 ppb

Actions: (investigations in the farm of origin, animals held in farms, slaughtered animals, intensified sampling in related farms, products declared unfit for human consumption, administrative measures, denial EC aid, others).

6 Thiouracil– bovin – ferme – 3 dont la quantification a été précisément rapportée : 6,1 µg/L ; 8,8 µg/kg ; 6,8 µg/kg ; autres résultats compris entre 5 et 10 µg/kg

La Brigade Nationale d’Enquêtes Vétérinaires et Phytosanitaires (BNEVP) a été informée de ces résultats non conformes. La présence de ces molécules, en faibles concentrations, pourraient être dues à la consommation par les animaux de plantes Crucifères.

1 Zéranol + Taléranol – urine - bovin – ferme - 2,5 µg/kg + 3 µg/kg

La Brigade Nationale d’Enquêtes Vétérinaires et Phytosanitaires (BNEVP) a été informée de ces résultats non conformes. La présence de ces molécules pourraient être dues à la consommation par les animaux de fourrages contaminés par des mycotoxines.

16 Zéranol + Taléranol – bovin – abattoir – résultats quantitatifs compris entre 1 µg/kg et 3 µg/kg

La Brigade Nationale d’Enquêtes Vétérinaires et Phytosanitaires (BNEVP) a été informée de ces résultats non conformes. La présence de ces molécules pourraient être dues à la consommation par les animaux de fourrages contaminés par des mycotoxines.

1 Chloramphénicol – muscle - bovin – abattoir – 0,07 µg/kg

La BNEVP a été informée de ce résultat. Une enquête est en cours. La très faible contamination relevée peut laisser penser à des hypothèses autres que la fraude.

3 chloramphénicol – muscle – porcin – 0,04 µg/kg ; 0,14 µg/kg ; 0,1 µg/kg

La BNEVP a été informée de ces résultats non conformes. Des enquêtes sont en cours. Les très faibles contaminations relevées peuvent laisser penser à des hypothèses autres que la fraude.

3 Hydroxymétronidazole – muscle – porcin – 1,5 µg/kg ; 0,3 µg/kg ; 0,4 µg/kg

La BNEVP a été informée de ces résultats non conformes. Des enquêtes sont en cours. Les très faibles contaminations relevées peuvent laisser penser à des hypothèses autres que la fraude.

1 17-β-estradiol – foie – poule de réforme – 7,65 µg/kg

La BNEVP a été informée de ce résultat. Les connaissances relatives aux niveaux physiologiques de cette substance dans les foies de volailles sont partielles. Il est donc difficile d’établir un « seuil de non-conformité ». De plus, les concentrations sont trop faibles pour réaliser une confirmation basée sur la spectrométrie de masse de rapport isotopique de manière à différencier une administration d’une production endogène.

1 boldénone méthyl – foie – truite arc-en-ciel – > 1 µg/kg

La BNEVP a été informée de ces résultats non conformes. Des enquêtes sont en cours.

1 antibiotique – muscle - bovin Déclaration de résultat non-conforme par le laboratoire erronée : échantillon non-analysable

1 Pénicilline G – muscle – bovin – 2635 µg/kg

Un rappel à la réglementation a été adressé à l’éleveur.

1 Chlortétracycline – muscle – bovin – 842 µg/kg


14 Oxytétracycline – muscle bovin – 252 µg/kg ; 352 µg/kg ; 528 µg/kg ; 169,5 µg/kg ; 671 µg/kg ; 600 µg/kg ; 551 µg/kg ; 337 µg/kg ; 777 µg/kg ; 400 µg/kg ; 287 µg/kg ; 21910 µg/kg ; 113 µg/kg ; 122 µg/kg

Cas à 337 µg/kg : ordonnance vraisemblablement incomplète ayant conduit l’éleveur a surdosé le médicament ce qui serait à l’origine de la NC malgré le respect du temps d’attente. Un courrier de rappel a été envoyé au vétérinaire traitant. Cas à 169,5 µg/kg : suite à une injection de tétracyclines le temps d’attente de 15 j n’a pas été respecté. Une inspection en pharmacie vétérinaire a été menée dans l’élevage et un rappel à la réglementation signifié à l’éleveur Cas à 400 µg/kg : l’animal, un taureau de 5 ans, a été abattu et à fait l’objet d’une saisie totale pour endocardite fibrineuse, arthrite unique et myosite localisée (590 kg). L’inspection en pharmacie vétérinaire menée à la suite de ce résultat a montré de nombreuses anomalies notamment dans la tenue des registres et l’enregistrement des ordonnances. Le taureau en question apparaît avoir été traité sans ordonnance avec un restant de flacon destiné à un autre animal. Un dossier a été transmis au procureur de la République pour tromperie. L’élevage sera contrôlé au titre de la conditionnalité en 2011. Un rappel réglementaire a également été adressé au cabinet vétérinaire responsable du suivi de cet élevage et il sera également inspecté en 2011. Dans la plupart des autres cas, il a été mis en évidence un non respect du temps d’attente. Un rappel à la réglementation a été adressé à l’eleveur.

2 Tétracycline – muscle – bovin – 147,5 µg/kg ; 100 µg/kg

Cas à 147,5 µg/kg : une inspection en pharmacie vétérinaire a été menée dans l’élevage impacté. L’éleveur a fait l’objet d’un rappel réglementaire concernant l’enregistrement de l’ensemble des traitements. Cas à 100 µg/kg : Un rappel à la réglementation a été adressé à l’eleveur.

1 Tétracycline + Tylosine – muscle – muscle bovin – 195 µg/kg + 33 µg/kg

Un rappel à la réglementation a été adressé à l’eleveur.

1 Doramectin – foie – bovin – 10 µg/kg


108

1 moxidectin – foie – bovin – 230 µg/kg


1 Diclofenac – muscle – bovin – 9,3 µg/kg


2 Prednisolone – foie – bovin – 4,5 µg/kg ; 2,45 µg/kg


1 Prednisolone – poil – bovin - >8,25 µg/kg


1 Cadmium – muscle – bovin – 120 µg/kg

L’élevage sera prélevé à nouveau lors des plans 2010.

Pigs 2 oxytrétracycline – muscle – porcin - 1295 µg/kg ; 200 µg/kg

Cas à 200 µg/kg : l’inspection de l’élevage en pharmacie vétérinaire a montré qu’un traitement avait été administré mais que le temps d’attente avait été a priori respecté. Toutefois, l’élevage ne tenait pas de registre de soins. Un rappel à la réglementation lui a été adressé.

2 prednisone + prédnisolone – poil – porcin - > 4 µg/kg et >8µg/kg ; > 8,25 µg/kg et >7,9 µg/kg

Une inspection en pharmacie vétérinaire a été menée dans l’élevage d’où le porc était issu. Il a été constaté de nombreuses anomalies relatives à la réglementation de la pharmacie vétérinaire en élevage. Toutefois, cela n’a pas permis d’identifier l’utilisation de cette molécule sur le lot d’animaux auquel appartenait l’animal incriminé.

1 Cadmium – muscle – porcin – 103 µg/kg


Poultry 1 oxytétracycline – muscle – poulet réforme

Cause détectée : non respect du temps d'attente avec envoi d'animaux sous traitement antibiotiques (problème organisationnel de filière avec gestion de l'alimentation et de l'enlèvement par le propriétaire du lot). Le lot de reproducteurs chair a été réformé de manière anticipée par le propriétaire alors qu'il était encore sous traitement antibiotique. L'éleveur n'a pas réagi. Autres anomalies relevées : Eleveur : suite à inspection en pharmacie vétérinaire : insuffisance d'enregistrement des traitements, registre non ordonné, quelques documents manquants et non respect des règles de prescriptions (durée de traitement) : rapport et courrier de rappel à la réglementation Vétérinaires : insuffisance sur les prescriptions détectées et sur les règles de délivrance par rapport aux prescriptions : rapport et courrier en lien avec une visite déjà faite au cabinet (mise en demeure sur le cabinet) Usine d'aliment : rappel réglementaire sur les délivrance avec programmation de contrôle en

2010 sur les Bonnes pratiques de Fabrication et de distribution de l'aliment

4 maduramycine – foie – poulet de chair – 1,5 µg/kg ; 2,6 µg/kg ; 2 µg/kg ; 3,3 µg/kg 2 maduramycine – foie – dinde – 6,1 µg/kg ; 48,7 µg/kg 21 nicarbazine – foie – poulet de chair – 16 échantillons entre 4,9 µg/kg et 99,7 µg/kg ; 176,2 µg/kg ; 110,9 µg/kg ; 106,8 µg/kg ; 106,4 µg/kg ; 1355,9 µg/kg

Les enquêtes menées sur les élevages pour lesquels des non-conformités en anticoccidiens ont été relevés ont fait l’objet d’inspections en pharmacie vétérinaire. Pour une majorité d’entre eux, il n’a pas été relevé d’anomalie majeure. Une contamination croisée d’aliments blancs par des aliments médicamenteux est possible (au stade du transport, de l’élevage ou de la fabrique). Il semblerait que des débris d’aliment supplémentés puissent se retrouver dans les assiettes, et se mélanger avec les aliments blancs. C’est hypothèse semble assez cohérente et, dans certains départements, les éleveurs travaillent une amélioration de leurs pratiques pour supprimer ces contaminations croisées. Les élevages en cause seront prélevés prioritairement lors du plan 2010.

Sheep and goat 1 oxytétracycline – muscle – caprin – 139 µg/kg

Suite à ce résultat et au vu de l'historique de l'élevage (problème de pleuro-pneumonies) et en l'absence d'une traçabilité fiable de l'abattoir, la DDSV : 1/ a considéré l'ensemble des chevreaux issus de cet élevage et abattus le même jour comme un seul lot, 2/ a fait retirer les restes de viandes congelées issues de ces animaux encore disponibles au niveau de l'abattoir (autour de 170 kg). Une enquête a été menée en élevage.

2 sulfadiméthoxine – muscle – ovin 208 µg/kg ; 241 µg/kg

Un rappel à la réglementation a été adressé aux éleveurs.

1 sulfadiméthoxine + sulfadiazine muscle – ovin – 109 µg/kg + 12 µg/kg

Suite à ce résultat, une enquête a été menée par la DDSV concernée. Des animaux, normalement destinés à être prochainement abattus, auraient accidentellement été mélangés avec des animaux traités avec un aliment médicamenteux et auraient donc pu manger cet aliment. Un rappel à la réglementation a été signifié à l’éleveur.

1 Diazinon – muscle – ovin – 69,7 µg/kg


Horses 1 Cadmium – muscle – cheval – 400 µg/kg

Une enquête a été menée autour de l'élevage pour identifier d'éventuelles causes de la non-conformité et celui-ci sera prélevé à nouveau lors des plans 2010.

110

Milk 1 Fenbendazole – lait d’ovin – 74 µg/kg


1 Chlorpyrifos éthyl – lait de caprin – 11,9 µg/kg

La LMR étant de 10 µg/kg et le résultat donné par le laboratoire non corrigé en tenant compte de l’incertitude de mesure, il n’a pas été donné suite à cette non-conformité.

1 plomb – lait de bovin – 163 µg/kg


Eggs 1 sulfadiméthoxine – oeuf de poule – 27,150 mg/kg

Ce taux très élevé serait dû au prélevement d’œufs lors d’un traitement. En effet, l’enquête a montré qu’un traitement de 5 jours a été effectué suite à des résultats d’autopsies demandées par l’éleveur. Le registre d’élevage a montré l’enregistrement de ce traitement mais il semble que ces mentions n’aient pas été de suite inscrites car lors du prélèvement fait par le technicien, seule l’information de la responsable indiquant que les œufs n’étaient pas mis à la consommation, lui a été donnée. De ce fait, les analyses ont été demandées quand même. Le temps d’attente de 12 jours a été respecté selon les indications ; cependant le décompte a été fait à partir du premier jour de traitement et non pas à la fin. Cependant les œufs (175 000) auraient été détruits, selon les dires de l’éleveur, sur les champs et n’ont pas été envoyés à l’équarrissage. Le nombre d’œufs indiqués sur le registre est imprécis. Un décompte a été refait ensuite en fonction des relevers de ponte. L’historique des bons de livraisons a été remis lors de la visite sur place. Une enquête a été faite auprès de la casserie et les détails des livraisons envoyés ; aucune livraison n’a été réalisée vers la casserie lors de la période incriminée. Un rapport de visite et une lettre d’accompagnement ont été envoyés à la suite et concernaient aussi d’autres non conformités dont une livraison d’aliments médicamenteux sans ordonnance par un fabricant d’aliments.

3 dinitrocarbanilide – œufs de poule – 1,35 µg/kg ; 2,8 µg/kg ; 8 µg/kg

Pas d’action car entrée en vigueur au 1er juillet 2009 du « RÈGLEMENT (CE) No 124/2009 DE LA COMMISSION du 10 février 2009 établissant des valeurs maximales pour la présence dans les denrées alimentaires de coccidiostatiques ou d'histomonostatiques résultant du transfert inévitable de ces substances vers des aliments pour

2 nicarbazine – œufs de poule – 2 µg/kg ; 16 µg/kg

Pas d’action car entrée en vigueur au 1er juillet 2009 du RÈGLEMENT (CE) No 124/2009 DE LA COMMISSION du 10 février 2009 établissant des valeurs maximales pour la présence dans les denrées alimentaires de coccidiostatiques ou d'histomonostatiques résultant du transfert inévitable de ces substances vers des aliments pour animaux non cibles et valeur très inférieure à la limite de 100 µg/kg prévue par ce réglement

1 lasalocide – œuf de caille – 213 µg/kg


Rabbit 5 Sulfadiméthoxine – muscle – lapin – 122 µg/kg ; 142 µg/kg ; 901 µg/kg ; 1542 µg/kg ; 2120 µg/kg

Cas à 901 µg/kg : Une enquête a été menée dans l’élevage concerné. Il n’a pas été relevé d’anomalie majeure dans cet élevage. L’usine d’aliments ayant livré l’élevage a fait l’objet d’une inspection qui n’a pas révélé d’anomalie. Une analyse sur l’aliment blanc livré n’a pas mis en évidence de contamination croisée. Une contamination croisée non homogène d’aliments blancs reste néanmoins possible. Cas à 2120 µg/kg : Une enquête en pharmacie vétérinaire a été menée dans l’élevage. D'après les déclarations de l'éleveur, ce prélèvement fortement positif serait de nature accidentelle. Il reconnaît une possibilité d'erreur dans la distribution d'aliment médicamenteux destiné aux lapines, en lien avec le transfert précipité de lapins d'engraissement 2 jours avant leur départ pour l'abattoir. Cette hypothèse est compatible avec la dose élevée de sulfadimétoxine trouvée dans le muscle (2 120 µg/kg). L'anomalie « non respect du délai d'attente à une seule reprise » a été retenue dans le compte-rendu de contrôle sur place paquet hygiène/Conditionnalité 2009, ce qui est susceptible d'entraîner une pénalité de 1% de ses primes PAC 2009. L'erreur étant de nature accidentelle, il n'a pas été dressé de procès-verbal. Cas à 122 µg/kg : l’information sur la chaîne alimentaire ne montre aucun élément de suspicion (mortalité normale, pas de pathologie ni de traitement mentionnés). L'aliment supplémenté a été arrêté dans les délais conformes. Aucune anomalie majeur n’a été mise en évidence lors de l’inspection de l’élevage pour la pharmacie vétérinaire. Une contamination croisée d’aliments

112

blancs reste possible. La traçabilité de l'abattoir et de la découpe est faite à la journée. Le listage des produits restants congelés montre qu'il reste 20,18 kg de découpe de lapin et 57,00 kg de gigolette de lapin. Ces produits ont été consignés et détruits (enlèvement C2). Ces élevages seront prélevés prioritairement lors du plan 2010.

1 Sulfadiméthoxine + benzosulfonamide 97 µg/kg + 65 µg/kg

Une enquête a été menée en élevage et, hormis un manque de rigueur de l’éleveur dans la conduite de son élevage (activité arrêtée le 01/05/2009), il n’a pas été établi de lien entre la non-conformité et la conduite de l’élevage. Par contre, le risque de contamination croisée au niveau de l’usine d’aliment n’est pas totalement maîtrisé. Toutefois, cette usine a cesser l’incorporation de sulfamides dans les aliments d’engraissement pour lapins au 1er juillet, ce qui devrait améliorer ses résultats aux tests de contamination croisée.

GR GREECE Member State GREECE

Modifications of the NRCP 2010 were performed mostly, due to the following reasons: 1) An extended redistribution of the samples, between the NRCP laboratories took

place, in order to facilitate their work, by fully exploiting their existing capabilities in personnel and expendables.

2) The new NRCP for 2010 requires the minimum no of samples to be collected(plus 10%) as a reserve. (The fact that, a large number of extra samples were requested for the 2009 NRCP, instead of the minimum required according to the national production, created a serious nuisance to local producers, which was expressed by complaints to the sample collectors; furthermore the examination of a large number of extra samples except been very costly, created a serious accumulation problems in the laboratories and many deficiencies in expendables).

4 non-compliant farm finfish samples for Leuco Malachite green

This substance is not authorised as an animal remedy, and does not have an established MRL. The reporting limit for the purposes of the Irish NRMP is 1µg/kg. As part of 2009 monitoring, 3 routine target samples of freshwater trout from one farm were found to have Leuco malachite Green (LMG) present; levels were between 0.6 – 0.99µg/kg. These levels were below the reporting limit of 1µg/kg for LMG and were therefore reported as compliant. An investigation was initiated including an on –farm investigation. A legal notice under national legislation, was issued to restrict the movement of fish off the farm. Follow-up samples were taken from fish and sediment throughout the farm. Of 14 suspect samples taken 4 confirmed positive for LMG at levels of 1.2, 1.8, 2.5 & 20.8 µg/kg while 3 of the samples had levels below the reporting limit of LMG. All stock from the pond that had the level of 20.8 µg/kg of LMG was culled. Recent sampling has shown no further non-compliances and movement restrictions were removed. A programme of enhanced monitoring is ongoing at that farm.

Follow up farm investigations were carried out in all cases. Further scientific data revealed that existing VMP labelling was not adequate to avoid presence of residues; immediate action was taken to amend product labels and advise FBOs. Risk assessment concluded that at the very low levels found, it was not necessary to withdraw milk from the market. Restrictions on movement of milk/treated animals; additional sampling and on-going monitoring were implemented as appropriate following the findings of the follow up investigations.

1 Dimetridazole – Bovines – live- blood serum

List actions: Under the National Residue Control Plan (NRCP) the blood sample from young breeding cattle was taken on the farm, in which the exceeded MRL of dimetridazole was detected. The sample was tested by the accredited confirmation method which confirmed a positive result for dimetridazole. After reporting a positive result, the respective District Veterinary and Food Administration (DVFA) performed the additional official control – investigation on the farm of dimetridazole finding. It aimed at recording of using the veterinary medicinal products and their administration. The control did not reveal any breaking of valid rules. The DVFA ordered by measures the ban on movement of the suspicious animal from the farm pending the results of examination of suspect sample. Within the investigation also samples of feed and drinking water (own well) from the farm of housing and origin of the animal were taken. By the additional official control of measures their fulfilment was

163

found out. The suspect sample was negative. Pigs

1 Dimetridazole – live pig – blood serum

List actions: Under the NRCP the blood sample was taken from the fattening pig on the farm and the exceeded MRL of dimetridazole was detected. The sample was examined by the accredited confirmation method which confirmed the positive finding of dimetridazole. Within the investigation the suspect blood samples were taken also from further pig from the same pen. In suspect blood samples no presence of dimetridazole was detected. The respective DVFA aimed upon the investigation of positive dimetridazole finding at the recording of veterinary medicinal products used on the farm, their administration and by the investigation no braking of valid rules was found out. The DVFA ordered by measures the ban on movement of pigs from which the samples were taken, pending the results of examination. The feed and drinking water samples were taken (own well) from the farm. The results of examinations did not confirm the presence of dimetridazole in the blood of pigs, feed or water. By the additional official control the fulfilment of ordered measures was found out.

Milk 1 Chloramphenicole – raw sheep milk

List actions: Under the NRCP 1 commingled sample of raw sheep milk was taken on the sheep farm from the total amount of 60 l of milk. In the sample the exceeded MRL of chloramphenicole was found out by the accredited confirmation method. After reporting a positive result for chloramphenicole, the respective DVFA performed the notification to the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF) and performed the investigation on the farm aimed at the use of veterinary medicinal products, milking hygiene of raw sheep milk and hygiene of production of lumpy sheep cheese on the farm. From the raw sheep milk the lumpy sheep cheese was produced that was sold at the time of investigation in small quantities to farm employees and consumed. By the additional official control

164

no breaking of valid rules was found out. The DVFA ordered measures to ban the placing on the market of sheep milk and products thereof and movement of sheep from the farm pending the results of examination of suspect raw sheep milk sample (commingled). The results of examinations did not confirm the presence of chloramphenicole in raw sheep milk. By the additional official control the fulfilment of measures ordered by the DVFA was found out.

Eggs 1 DDT – hen’s eggs graded List actions: Under the NRCP the sample of hen’s

eggs was taken from the alternative hen’s farming –laying hens with egg production and the exceeded MRL of DDT was detected, confirmed by the accredited confirmation method. After reporting a positive finding of DDT, the DVFA performed an investigation on the farm aimed at detection of DDT source in the holding. By the control it was found out that one range for laying hens was located in the vicinity of the storehouse of chemicals. The DVFA ordered measures for the ban of the use of hen’s eggs from the holding for human consumption, ordered to perform sanitation of all ranges in the holding and to cancel the range in the vicinity of the storehouse of chemicals and not to use it upon alternative hen’s farming. The suspect samples were not taken because the holding of laying hens was immediately cancelled from the decision of the owner and the animals destroyed.

Aquaculture 1 Malachite-Green-Leuco – trout-farmed fish

List actions: Under the NRCP 1 fish sample from farmed breeding - trout was taken in the breeder of salmonids. By the accredited confirmation method the exceeded MRL of Malachite-Green-Leuco was found out. The DVFA performed the investigation in a fish breeder. The DFVA immediately ordered measures in respect of the ban on the movement, transport and placing on the market of live fish from the affected breeding facility and to submit to the DVFA the results of laboratory examinations from the performed control taking of fish samples for the presence of Malachite-Green and Malachite-Green-Leuko from all fish ponds and tanks where are the fish intended for the market. The whole holding was subsequently disposed due

165

to infection by VHS virus. Farmed game

- - Wild game

1 Lead – Wild boar - muscle List actions: Under the NRCP the sample of wild game muscle – wild boar was taken. The exceeded MRL of lead in wild boar was reported to the competent DVFA that ordered the measures by which it prohibited the consumption of hunted game prior to performance of repeated examination of suspect sample for lead presence and taking of sample for the lead presence from the subsequently hunted game in the hunting ground. The meat and viscera from this game will be released for the human consumption after obtaining a negative result only. It was proved by the investigation that the sample did not originate from the place of the shot surroundings. The repeated muscle sample was taken from further wild boar in the hunting ground in which the exceeded MRL of lead was not found out.

Honey 2 Tylosin – bee honey List actions: Under the NRCP the exceeded MRL

of tylosine was detected in 2 samples of bee honey. The sample was taken from 50-liter cans. The DVFA performed the investigation and ordered by measures the safe disposal of the honey suspended at the time of the control and submission of a document on its disposal, to report to the DVFA the subsequent production of the honey for the reason of the taking the official sample. The DVFA by measures also prohibited the honey producer to put into circulation the bee honey and bee products intended for human consumption pending the result of the examination of the additional official sample. The honey was disposed and confirmation on its disposal was delivered to the DVFA.

Residues were unconjugated alpha boldenone. All samples were collected on farm and some were discoloured; indicative of faecal contamination. One on farm investigation was carried out and no evidence of abuse was found. Residues were unconjugated alpha boldenone. All samples were collected at the abattoirs but were discoloured indicative of Faecal contamination. No evidence of abuse was found. However in the case of one sample the farm of origin could not be traced. One sample was taken at the abattoir and the remaining samples were collected on farm... 4 samples were from female cattle that were in calf at the time the samples were taken. On farm investigations were carried out for 3 samples and no evidence of abuse was found.. Follow up samples were compliant. No follow up investigations were undertaken into the cause of these residues as past investigations suggest that alpha-nortestosterone occurs naturally in sheep at low concentrations. Samples were collected at both Farms and Abattoirs. On farm investigations were carried out for 3 samples and no evidence of abuse was found. Research has shown that residues of zeranol can occur where an animal ingests contaminated feed. Letters sent to the farmers of the remaining samples advising how to avoid residues in the future. On farm investigation established this was due to the animal ingesting contaminated feed. No further action was taken and farm was notified. The sample was collected at the abattoir and an on farm investigation was carried out. The residue was found to be as a result of feed contamination on the farm . On farm investigations were carried out from where the samples were originally collected and

169

follow up samples were all compliant. The sample was collected on farm and a follow up investigation was carried out. Follow up samples were all compliant. A follow-up investigation was requested when this sample was reported. To date no samples have been received. According to movement records, this animal was transferred from another farm the day before it was presented for slaughter.

6 Cadmium in cattle kidney 2 Dihydrostreptomycin/ Sulphadiazine in calves kidneys. 2 Benzimidazoles/Levamisole in cattle liver 1 Tilmicosin in cattle kidney 2 Chlortetracycline in calves kidney 2 Phenylbutazone in cattle serum

Farm investigations for all samples. The source of residue was not established in 4 samples. in one sample it was accumulation due to diet. One sample due to environmental pollution. Follow up samples taken were all compliant. Farm investigations: One calf was slaughtered within the withdrawal period and the farmer has received written advice. Farm investigations: Medicine records and storage checked. One animal had been slaughtered before the end of the withdrawal period. The farmer has been advised on the requirements for record keeping. The details of the second animal had been incorrectly recorded at the abattoir.. Measures have been taken to prevent such occurances. A farm investigation found that this animal was sent to slaughter whilst within the withdrawal period. Both the farmer and veterinary surgeon have received written advice. Farm investigations: One animal had been sent to slaughter within the withdrawal period, the farmer has received written advice. In the second case, the investigating officer could not find any evidence of the use of Chlortetracycline on the farm. Detected at time of slaughter confirmed in the case of one where follow-up was initiated. An on-farm investigation has been carried out in the case of the

170

first sample. This is a dairy herd. Medicine records are in place in accordance with legislation. The heard owner was unaware of the use of this substance. It was noted that there are also horses on the farm. There was no sign of phenylbutazone on the farm. There was turnover of staff during this period and a new foreman is now in place. The owner & the foreman are now aware of the situation. The DVO has sent a letter to the herd owner and the heard has been flagged for sampling of cows at slaughter. The second sample, from a one year old male bovine was tested for phenylbutazone at slaughter. The farm was visited on 15.06.09; it is predominantly a dairy farm that rears some bull beef (the sampled animal was home bred). No treatment was recorded for the sampled animal; computerised records were checked for a few other animals and found to be appropriate. The medicines store contained several sachets of Danilon Equidos (suxibuzone, a phenylbutazone prodrug, licensed for use in horses not intended for human consumption). The farmer said that these were supplied by the PVP for use in cows that had done the ‘splits’. It had not been given to the sampled animal, and he had no record of its use in others as this was too long ago to be computer recorded. A total of 6 cows were blood sampled (including one that was lame), only one sample was suitable for analysis which was compliant. Resampling was requested. The DVO has written to the herdkeeper and the PVP about their responsibilities. Tested in the liver of one OTM. The farm was visited on 22.06.2009. This herd is a short term finisher/haulier with animals purchased only a few days before presenting for slaughter. Medicine records were checked and were found to be well maintained. There was no entry for this animal. This animal had been sold through a market the day before slaughter (this may have contributed to a breakdown in foodchain information). The carcase was condemned at post mortem inspection for abscess/pyaemia, and fascioliasis was also reported and therefore did not enter the food chain.

Pigs

1 Sulfadiazine 2 Chlortetracycline in pigs 1 Oxytetracycline in pigs kidney

Farm investigation undertaken. Medicine records and storage checked. The most likely cause of this residue was considered to be unintentional cross-contamination of the feed. Farm investigations: In one case it was established that the animal was slaughtered within the withdrawal period. In the second case the cause of the residue could not be established. It is possible that incorrect details were recorded at the abattoir. Farm investigation established that the residue was due to cross contamination of feed on farm.

Poultry 3 Chlortetracycline in poultry muscle. Ionophores/Nicarbazines in poultry, 1 Salinomycin 3, Lasalocid, 1 Monensin and 42 Nicarbazines,

On farm investigations were carried out. Medicine records and storage checked. The investigations considered that the most likely cause was cross-contamination of the feed either at the feed-mill or during transport. Investigations carried out at 15 farms/mills .In these cases samples of retained feed from the mill and/or farm were tested but none confirmed positive. In cases where the farm and mill were investigated the most likely cause of the residue was considered to be cross-contamination of feed due to the use of a single bin-system on the farms. In one other case the most likely cause was considered to be due to the birds foraging in the litter and picking up medicated feed. Farms have received written advice in all of the above cases. Letters sent to farms where lower level residues of Nicarbazin have been detected advising on how to avoid residues

Sheep and goat 3 Cadmium in sheep kidney 2 Lead in sheep kidney 1 Chlorpyrofos in sheep kidney fat.

Farm investigations: There were no obvious sources of cadmium on the farms and it was not possible to establish the cause of these residues Far investigations: The cause of the residue in one was due to environmental pollution. The likely cause of the second was whilst grazing the animal had licked an item with lead based paint washed up on the shore. On farm investigation undertaken. There is no

172

1 Doramectin in sheep liver. 1 Oxfendazole in sheep liver

evidence to suggest abuse or accidental contamination. The residue is most likely to have come through exposure of animal to a recently sprayed field. On farm investigation undertaken. The sheep was slaughtered within the withdrawal period. It was probably treated at a pervious farm and bought for slaughter. No records exist of previous locations. On farm investigation undertaken. Animal was mistakenly dosed with de-wormer at a neighbouring farm without owner’s knowledge. It was sent to slaughter by the owner within the withdrawal period.

Milk 1 Amoxycillin in cows milk

On farm investigation undertaken. The animals had been treated with Duphamox, but the medicines records had not been updated. The milk sample was still within the withdrawal period. The farmer has received written advice to avoid a re-occurrence.

Eggs 1 nicarbazin in free range egg 1 P, P-DDE in free range egg

On farm investigation undertaken. It suggested that the most likely cause was cross-contamination of the feed, though it was unclear exactly where this had occurred. The mill has tightened up its procedures to try and further minimise the chances of cross-contamination. 6 follow up target samples were taken, all proved compliant. On farm investigation undertaken. It is a small free range farm where birds were foraging in an old orchard, where the residual contamination of DDT could have been picked up. All the birds and eggs have been disposed of. Aquaculture

3 Emamectin in Salmon muscle.

Three samples above the MRLs were sent for follow up investigations. One sample results showed there were no irregularities it was taken just after the end of withdrawal period. In the case of the other two samples. it appears that a miscalculation of biomass to be treated had occurred, resulting in a higher dosage of medicine being administered, which contributed to the MRL being exceeded. The Farm has been notified. Farmed game

1 Lasalocid in partridge muscle. Farm and mill investigation undertaken. The investigation established the most likely cause of contamination was at the bagging stage of the process within the Mill. The mill has received

173

written advice and a revised bagging procedure is now in place. Wild game

2 lead in wild deer muscle There were no follow-up investigations as the residues were most likely to have been the result of the deer being shot.

Honey 1 Naphthalene/1-4 dichlorobenzene in honey

Farm investigation undertaken. The investigation established that likely cause of residue was cross-contamination. The bee-keeper had treated his supors with naphthalene/1-4 dichlorobenzene in winter to prevent wax moth. The sample was taken from a brood comb about a month before any honey was withdrawn for bottling. The Local Authority took samples from the bottled honey. They informed the beekeeper that the honey should be withdrawn from sale.
