COMMI SSION REGUL ATION (EU) 2023/1029 
of 25 May 2023
amending Annex es III and V to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the 
Council as regards maximum residue levels for phosmet 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 18(1), point (b), thereof,
Whereas:
(1) For phosmet, maximum residue levels (‘MRLs ’) 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 phosmet in accordance with Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 (2). It proposed to chang e the 
residue definition for enforcement purposes from ‘phosmet and phosmet-o xon expressed as phosmet’ to ‘phosmet’. 
The Commission considers this new residue definition to be appropr iate in the context of Regulation (EC) 
No 396/2005.
(3) In its reasoned opinion on the review of the existing MRLs for phosmet in accordance with Article 12(1) of 
Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the Author ity identif ied a risk for consumers concer ning the MRLs for grapefr uits, 
orange s, lemons, limes, mandar ins, coconuts, apples, pears, quinces, medlars, loquats, apricots, peaches, table 
grapes, wine grapes, blueber ries, cranber ries, kumquats and potatoes. In addition, in the conte xt of a decision on 
non-renewal of the appro val of the active substance phosmet (3), the Author ity published a conclusion (4)on the 
peer review of the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance phosmet explaining that the consumer dietar y 
risk assessment for phosmet could not be finalised because data including the toxicological prof ile and genoto xicity 
poten tial of the metabolite phosmet-o xon was incomple te. In view of the data gaps, the Author ity could not rule out 
harmful effects on human health with the existing MRLs for phosmet in all products. Theref ore, none of the existing 
MRLs for phosmet, including those based on Codex maximum residue limits (CXLs), could be conf irmed as being 
safe for consumers. It is theref ore appropr iate to delete the MRLs for phosmet in Part A of Annex III to Regulation 
(EC) No 396/2005 in accordance with Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 in conjunction with 
Article 14(1) point (a) thereof. MRLs for phosmet in all products should be set at the limits of determi nation 
(‘LODs’ ), specifi c to each product and safe for consumers, which should be set in Annex V to Regulation (EC) 
No 396/2005 in accordance with Article 18(1), point (b) of that Regulation.

(2)European Food Safety Authority ; Reasoned opinion on the review of the existing maximum residue levels for phosmet according to 
Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. EFSA Journal 2022;20(7):7448.
(3)Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/94 of 24 Januar y 2022 concer ning the non-renewal of the approval of the active 
substance phosmet, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council concer ning the 
placing of plant prot ection products on the market, and amending the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 
No 540/2011 (OJ L 16, 25.1.2022, p. 33).
(4)European Food Safety Autho rity; Conclusion on the peer review of the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance phosmet, EFSA 
Journal 2021;19(3):6237.EN Offi cial Jour nal of the European Union 26.5.2023 L 139/15  (4) Additionally , the Author ity and a Member State identified that the default value of 0,01* mg/kg for orange s, 
potatoes, apples, pears, pineapples, melons, wate rmelons, sugar beet roots, and milk (cattle), does not provide a 
suffi cient level of protection for consumers. Theref ore, the LODs for these products should be set at the lowe r and 
achi evable level of 0,005* mg/kg, whic h is safe for consumers.
(5) The Commission consulted the European Union reference laboratori es for residues of pesticides as regards the need 
to adap t certain LODs. Those laboratori es proposed product specifi c LODs that are analytically achievable.
(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) 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.
(9) 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,
