Objection under Rule 115(2) and (3), and Rule 115(4)(c) · implementing measure
Maximum residue levels for cyproconazoleThe Parliament objected to a Commission regulation that would have kept maximum residue levels for the pesticide cyproconazole in certain imported foods above the default safety limit. The objection was adopted, so the Commission measure is blocked and the proposed residue levels will not take effect. Parliament argues the substance is toxic and its authorisation has expired, so residues should be set at the default value.
