| Is there a relevant international standard? If so, identify the standard: [X] Codex Alimentarius Commission (e.g. title or serial number of Codex standard or related text): Codex Maximum Residue Limits for cypermethrins in some commodities. [ ] World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) (e.g. Terrestrial or Aquatic Animal Health Code, chapter number): [ ] International Plant Protection Convention (e.g. ISPM number): [ ] None Does this proposed regulation conform to the relevant international standard? [ ]Yes [X] No If no, describe, whenever possible, how and why it deviates from the international standard: The European Food Safety Authority published reasoned opinion on the existing MRLs for cypermethrins. Based on the opinion, Regulation (EC) No. 396/2005 should be amended following a risk analysis approach. The current EU policy is to align EU MRLs with CXLs if the following conditions are fulfilled: (i) that the EU sets MRLs for the commodity under consideration; (ii) that the current EU MRL is lower than the CXL; and (iii) that the CXL is acceptable to the EU with respect to its policy objective of ensuring a high level of consumer protection, including aspects on supporting data and extrapolations. Where the EU considers that a proposed CXL is not acceptable, it makes a reservation to the Codex Committee on Pesticide Residues (CCPR). Reservations made by the EU, concerning some of the active substances envisaged by the draft Regulation, are listed in the relevant CCPR reports: |
