(20) The Community contributes in the context of the Codex Alimentarius to the development of international standards on maximum residue limitslimits on residues of veterinary medicines in food, while ensuring that the high level of human health protection adopted in the Community is not reduced.

Consistency between international standards and Community legislation on residue limitlimits on residues of veterinary medicines in food will thereby be further enhanced.
