EU-28: Progress of the EU MRL Review process – Article 12

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

On June 12, 2017, the European Commission notified a first revision of its communication regarding the ongoing review of Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs) in the EU to the World Trade Organization (WTO). This communication explains the “Article 12” review of existing MRLs of all approved and certain non-approved pesticides and focuses on how non-EU countries can actively contribute to the review process. This revision provides an updated list of substances subject to the review process by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), including an indicative time schedule of their review. The EFSA progress report will be updated quarterly and should therefore be consulted at a regular basis.
