The revision was intended to simplify the previous system, under which certain pesticide residues were regulated by the Commission, others were regulated by Member States, and others were not regulated at all.
Revisi tersebut ditujukan untuk mempermudah sistem sebelumnya di mana beberapa residu pestisida diatur oleh Komisi Uni Eropa, lainnya diatur oleh negara anggota, dan lainnya tidak diatur sama sekali.
