🇬🇧 English

This regulation corrects errors in the application dates of two previous EU regulations that amended maximum residue levels (MRLs) for the pesticides flupyradifurone and potassium phosphonate (expressed as phosphonic acid). Due to a clerical error in sequencing, MRLs established by Regulation (EU) 2025/581 were superseded by those in earlier-adopted but later-applicable regulations (2024/2640 and 2024/2619). The Annex replaces the relevant columns in Annex II of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 with the corrected MRL values for hundreds of food and feed products, including fruits, vegetables, cereals, oilseeds, animal products, and spices. It enters into force three days after publication in the Official Journal.
