This paper will cover many of the areas of global collaborations that assist with international harmonization of pesticide uses as well as residue levels that may limit agricultural commodities in trade. Progress regarding the work plan developed during the second Global Minor Use Summit and the activities of the Global Minor Use Steering Committee will be presented. Activities of the OECD, especially with regard to the Expert Group on Minor Uses working group activities will be discussed. An update will be provided on the many actions taking place in Codex, including the Codex Electronic working group on Minor Uses and progress with Codex crop groups or extrapolation using representative commodities. Exploring prospects and examples for global residue data generation and gathering of existing data can serve as a means of providing robust data sets to regulators.
