Environment | Permissible residue levels for pesticides in raw agricultural produce and processed foods.

Business | As a pure cost without a useful end or by-product, battery recycling will not voluntarily be undertaken in the UK. The battery industry is of the view, however, that local recycling will become a more commercial proposition when mixed battery feedstock becomes mercury-free, and the recent adoption of lower mercury tolerances across the EU will hasten this prospect. (references) | |
Political Economy | CHILE | Procedures and tolerances for testing imported chicken for the presence of salmonella present such a severe commercial risk that local importers are reluctant to import such products. (references) |
