amending Annex es II and III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the 
Council as regards maximum residue levels for pyripro xyfen in or on certain products 
(Text with EEA relevance) 
THE EUR OPEAN COMMISSION,
Havi ng regar d to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Havi ng regard to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 Febr uary 2005 on 
maximum residue levels of pesticides in or on food and feed of plant and animal origin and amending Council 
Directive 91/414/EEC (1), and in particular Article 14(1), point (a), and Article 49(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Maximum residue levels (‘MRLs ’) for pyripro xyfen were set in Part A of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.
(2) The European Food Safe ty Author ity (‘the Authority’) submitt ed a reasoned opinion on the review of the existing 
MRLs for pyripro xyfen(2)in accordance with Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. The Author ity 
recommended to lower the existing MRLs for pyripro xyfe n on swine/bo vine/goat/horse muscle, fat, liver and 
kidne y, as well as in cattle/horse milk to the limit of determi nation (‘LOD’) in line with the principle of setting MRLs 
at levels as low as reasonably achievab le and based on suffic ient suppor ting data for the current good agricultural 
practices (‘GAPs’ ). As there is no risk for consumers, it is appropr iate to set the MRL for pyripro xyfen on these 
products in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 at the level identif ied by the Author ity.
(3) The Author ity further concluded that the MRLs for pyripro xyfe n on almonds, chestnuts, hazelnuts, pecans, 
pistac hios, walnuts, pine nuts kernels, pome fruits, grapes, table olives, kaki/Japanese persimmons, pineapples, 
tomat oes, sweet peppers, aubergines, cucurbits with edible peel, and waterm elons should be lowered in line with 
the principle of setting MRLs at levels as low as reasonably achievab le and based on the current GAPs and Codex 
maximum residue limits (‘CXLs’ ), which are conf irmed as being safe for consumers (3). It also concluded that the 
MRLs for pyripro xyfen on apricots, peaches, plums, strawber ries, mangoes, papa yas, melons, cotton seeds and tea 
should be maintained based on the current GAPs and CXLs, which are conf irmed as being safe for consumers (4). In 
addition, the Author ity concluded that the MRLs for pyripro xyfen on citrus fruits, cherr ies and kumquats should be 
raised based on the current GAPs and CXLs, which are confir med as being safe for consumers. As the Author ity 
(1)OJ L 70, 16.3.2005, p. 1.
(2)European Food Safet y Authority ; Reasoned opinion on the review of the existing maximum residue levels for pyripro xyfen according 
to Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005; EFSA Journal 2022;20(11):7617.
(3)European Food Safet y Author ity; Scientific suppor t for prepar ing an EU position in the 51st Session of the Codex Committee on 
Pesticide Residues (CCPR); EFSA Journal 2019;17(7):5797.
(4)European Food Safety Authority ; Scientific suppor t for prepar ing an EU position for the 52nd Session of the Codex Committee on 
Pesticide Residues (CCPR); EFSA Journal 2021;19(8):6766.EN Offi cial Jour nal of the European Union 12.9.2023 L 224/1  conf irmed in an earlier reasoned opinion (5)that the MRL for pyripro xyfe n on banana is safe for consumers, that 
MRL can be maintained. However , as some information was not available, further consideration by risk manage rs 
was required. Theref ore, while the MRLs for almonds, chestnuts, hazelnuts, pecans, pistachios, walnuts, pine nuts 
kernels, pome fruits, grapes, table olives, kaki/Japanese persimmons, pineapples, tomat oes, sweet peppers, 
aubergines, cucurbits with edible peel, wate rmelons, apricots, peach es, plums, strawber ries, mangoes, papa yas, 
melons, cotton seeds, tea, citrus fruits, cherries, kumquats and bananas are considered safe, they will be reviewed. 
The review will take into account the information available within two years from the publication of this 
Regulation. As there is no risk for consumers, it is appropr iate to set the MRLs for pyripro xyfen on those products 
in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 at the levels identif ied by the Author ity.
(4) As the Authority identified that no residue trials were available to derive MRL values for pyripro xyfen on 
macadamias, avocados, granat e apples/pomegranates, cherimo yas, potatoes , sweet potatoes and yams, other root 
and tuber vegetables excep t sugar beets, bulb vege tables, okra/lady’s finger s, pumpkin s, brassica veget ables 
(excluding brassica roots and brassica baby leaf crops), lettuces and salad plants, spinaches and similar leaves, 
water cresses, witloofs/Belgian endives, herbs and edible flowers, legume vege tables, stem vegetables, beans (dry), 
and soyabeans, further consideration by risk managers was required. In the absence of such trials, which are 
necessar y to derive an MRL value, the Commission considers that it is appropr iate to set the MRLs for those 
products at the product specific LODs set out in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.
(5) The Commission consulted the European Union reference laboratori es for residues of pesticides as regards the need 
to adapt certain LODs. For pyripro xyfen, those laborat ories proposed product specifi c LODs that are analytically 
achi evable.
(6) Through the World Trade Org anisation, the trading partners of the Union were consulte d on the new MRLs and their 
comments have been taken into account.
(7) Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 should theref ore be amended according ly.
(8) To allow for the normal mark eting, processing and consump tion of products, this Regulation should not apply to 
products whic h have been produced in the Union or impor ted into the Union before the new MRLs become 
applicable and for whic h a high level of consumer prote ction is maintained. This is the case for all products.
(9) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before the new MRLs become applicable, in order to permit 
Member States, third countr ies and food business operat ors to adapt themselves to the requirements which result 
from the modifi cation of the MRLs.
(10) The measures provid ed for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committ ee on 
Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
