Dear members of the PAFF committee,
On 25-26 November, you are invited to the EU Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed to discuss and/or potentially adopt opinions on several proposals of the European Commission. With this letter, PAN Europe urges you to reject the Commission’s proposal to maintain MRLs of the ‘cut-off’ substance isopyrazam (B. 02). We also call on you to request the Commission to present new draft Regulations to delete all the Maximum Residues Limits (MRLs) of carbendazim, thiophanate-methyl et cyproconazole in line with the Parliament’s objections. Residues of any substances meeting the ‘cut-off’ criteria of the Pesticide Regulation 1107/2009 should not be allowed in imported food products.
