COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) 2018/686  
of 4 May 2018  
amending Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the 
Council as regards maximum residue levels for chlorpyrifos, chlorpyrifos-methyl and triclopyr in or 
on certain products  
(Text with EEA relevance)  
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,  
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,  
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 February 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)(a) and Article 49(2) thereof,  
Whereas:  
(1) For chlorpyrifos and chlorpyrifos-methyl maximum residue levels (MRLs) were set in Annex II and Part B of 
Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. For triclopyr MRLs were set in Part A of Annex III to that Regulation.  
(2) For chlorpyrifos, the European Food Safety Authority, hereinafter ‘the Authority’, submitted a reasoned opinion on 
the existing MRLs in accordance with Article 12(2) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 in conjunction with 
Article 12(1) thereof (  2 ). The Authority identified a risk for consumers concerning the MRL for wine grapes. It 
is therefore appropriate to lower this MRL. It recommended lowering the MRLs for quinces, medlars, apricots, 
cherries, pumpkins, sweet corn, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, kales, kohlrabies, lettuces and salad plants, spinaches, 
legume vegetables, asparagus, globe artichokes, pulses, poppy seed, sunflower seed, rape seed, mustard seed, gold 
of pleasure seed, olive for oil production, buckwheat grain, millet grain, coffee beans and poultry (muscle, fat and 
liver). For other products, it recommended raising or keeping the existing MRLs. It concluded that concerning the 
MRLs for almonds, hazelnuts/cobnuts, pecans, walnuts, apples, pears, table grapes, beetroots, radishes, garlic, 
shallots, spring onions/green onions and Welsh onions, tomatoes, sweet peppers/bell peppers, aubergines/egg ­
plants, Chinese cabbages/pe-tsai, lamb’s lettuces/corn salads, lettuces, escaroles/broad-leaved endives, Roman rocket/ 
rucola, beans (with pods), beans (without pods), peas (with pods), peas (without pods), asparagus, globe artichokes, 
beans, peas, lupins/lupini beans, poppy seeds, sunflower seeds, rapeseeds/canola seeds, soyabeans, mustard seeds, 
cotton seeds, gold of pleasure seeds, olives for oil production, buckwheat and other pseudo-cereals, common 
millet/proso millet, teas, spices (seed, fruit, root and rhizome), swine (muscle and fat tissue), bovine (muscle and fat 
tissue), sheep (muscle and fat tissue), goat (muscle and fat tissue), poultry (muscle and fat tissue) and milk (cattle, 
sheep and goat), some information was not available and that further consideration by risk managers was required. 
As there is no risk for consumers, the MRLs for those products should be set in Annex II to Regulation (EC) 
No 396/2005 at the existing level or the level identified by the Authority. These MRLs will be reviewed; the review 
will take into account the information available within two years from the publication of this Regulation.  
(3) For chlorpyrifos-methyl, the Authority submitted a reasoned opinion on the existing MRLs in accordance with 
Article 12(2) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 in conjunction with Article 12(1) thereof (  3 ). The Authority 
proposed to change the residue definition to the sum of chlorpyrifos-methyl and desmethyl chlorpyrifos-methyl 
for cereals. It recommended lowering the MRLs for strawberries, currants (black, red and white), kiwi, potatoes, 
maize/corn, rye, sorghum, wheat, swine (liver and kidney), bovine (liver and kidney), sheep (liver and kidney), goat 
(liver and kidney) and poultry (muscle, fat, liver and kidney). For other products, it recommended raising orEN L 121/30 Official Journal of the European Union 16.5.2018

Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.  EFSA Journal  2017;15(3):4734. keeping the existing MRLs. It concluded that concerning the MRLs for spices (seed, fruit, root and rhizome), barley, 
oat, rice, swine (meat, fat, liver and kidney), bovine (meat, fat, liver and kidney), sheep (meat, fat, liver and kidney), 
goat (meat, fat, liver and kidney), poultry (meat, fat, liver and kidney), milk (cattle, sheep and goat) and birds eggs, 
some information was not available and that further consideration by risk managers was required. As there is no 
risk for consumers, the MRLs for those products should be set in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 at the 
existing level or the level identified by the Authority. These MRLs will be reviewed; the review will take into 
account the information available within two years from the publication of this Regulation. Monitoring data shows 
that residues occur on untreated pulses, oilseeds and cereals at a level higher than the new limit of determination 
(LOD) identified by the Authority but lower than the existing LOD. Such residues result from a cross-contami ­
nation with crops lawfully treated with chlorpyrifos-methyl. As the assessment demonstrates that there is no 
unacceptable risk to consumers or animals at the existing LOD, the MRLs for these crops should be temporarily set 
at the level of the existing LOD. These MRLs will be reviewed; the review will take into account the information 
available within four years from the publication of this Regulation.  
(4) For triclopyr, the Authority submitted a reasoned opinion on the existing MRLs in accordance with Article 12(1) of 
Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 (  1 ). The Authority recommended lowering the MRLs for apples, pears, apricots, 
peaches, rice grain, swine (muscle, fat, liver and kidney), bovine kidney, sheep kidney, goat kidney and milk (cattle, 
sheep and goat). For other products, it recommended raising or keeping the existing MRLs. It concluded that 
concerning the MRLs for grapefruits, oranges, lemons, mandarins, apples, pears, apricots, peaches and rice some 
information was not available and that further consideration by risk managers was required. As there is no risk for 
consumers, the MRLs for those products should be set in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 at the existing 
level or the level identified by the Authority. These MRLs will be reviewed; the review will take into account the 
information available within two years from the publication of this Regulation.  
(5) As regards products on which the use of the plant protection product concerned is not authorised, and for which 
no import tolerances or Codex maximum residue limits (CXLs) exist, MRLs should be set at the specific limit of 
determination or the default MRL should apply, as provided for in Article 18(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) 
No 396/2005.  
(6) The Commission consulted the European Union reference laboratories for residues of pesticides as regards the need 
to adapt certain limits of determination. As regards several substances, those laboratories concluded that for certain 
commodities technical development requires the setting of specific limits of determination.  
(7) Based on the reasoned opinions of the Authority and taking into account the factors relevant to the matter under 
consideration, the appropriate modifications to the MRLs fulfil the requirements of Article 14(2) of Regulation (EC) 
No 396/2005.  
(8) Through the World Trade Organisation, the trading partners of the Union were consulted on the new MRLs and 
their comments have been taken into account.  
(9) Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly.  
(10) In order to allow for the normal marketing, processing and consumption of products, this Regulation should 
provide for a transitional arrangement for products which have been produced before the modification of the 
MRLs and for which information shows that a high level of consumer protection is maintained. Because a risk to 
consumers cannot be excluded at the current MRL, the value for chlorpyrifos of 0,01 mg/kg for wine grapes 
should apply from the date of application of this Regulation.  
(11) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before the modified MRLs become applicable in order to permit 
Member States, third countries and food business operators to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements 
which will result from the modification of the MRLs.EN 16.5.2018 Official Journal of the European Union L 121/31
