For the active substance thiacloprid, Since the substance did not fulfil the approval criteria, the Authority did not consider it necessary to finalise the assessment of the possible endocrine disrupting properties of thiacloprid
The Commission has therefore requested the Authority to carry out an additional assessment for thiacloprid taking into account the most recent criteria for endocrine disruptors.
Pending the conclusion of this additional risk assessment by the Authority, and given the available pertinent information with regard to potentially harmful effects on human health, it is appropriate to provisionally lower the MRLs that are based on non-EU uses. These MRLs will be reviewed once the assessment by the Authority is concluded.
The Commission consulted the European Union reference laboratories for residues of thiacloprid as regards the need to adapt certain LODs that proposed product specific LODs that are analytically achievable for all products.
The European Union issued (EU) 2024/2711 amending Annexes II and V to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards maximum residue levels for Thiacloprid in or on certain products, Specifically:
