Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/819 – 355th Amendment to Council Regulation (EC) No 881/2002: Addition of Two ISIL (Da'esh) Financial Officials to Sanctions List
This Commission Implementing Regulation amends Annex I to Council Regulation (EC) No 881/2002 for the 355th time, adding two Iraqi nationals to the EU sanctions list associated with ISIL (Da'esh) and Al-Qaida. The amendment follows a decision by the UN Security Council Sanctions Committee (established under UNSC Resolutions 1267/1999, 1989/2011, and 2253/2015) taken on 26 March 2026. The two individuals added are Abd El Hamid Salim Ibrahim Brukan al-Khatouni (alias Abu Omar Al Sarraf, b. 1 September 1970, Iraq), who served as a senior ISIL financial management officer, and Sami Jasim Muhammad Jaata Al-Jaburi (multiple aliases, b. 1 July 1974, Iraq), who oversaw ISIL's finances, material affairs, and revenue sources, sat on ISIL's so-called Delegated Committee (its key decision-making body), and was involved in terrorist operations and oil smuggling. As a result of the listing, all funds and economic resources belonging to or controlled by these individuals are subject to immediate freezing across all EU Member States. The regulation entered into force on 1 April 2026, the date of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/747 approving the active substance bixlozone and amending Regulation (EU) No 540/2011
This regulation formally approves bixlozone as an active substance for use in plant protection products across the EU. It sets a minimum purity of 960 g/kg and limits the impurity TBAB to a maximum of 2 g/kg. Approval is valid for 10 years from 21 April 2026 until 21 April 2036. The approval is conditional on the submission of confirmatory data by 21 April 2028 regarding technical specification, impurity relevance, metabolite toxicity, natural occurrence, livestock relevance, and drinking water treatment effects. Member States must pay special attention to consumer risk from succeeding crops, protection of aquatic organisms, non-target plants, and unacceptable co-formulants.
Commission Regulation (EU) 2026/751 correcting MRLs for flupyradifurone and potassium phosphonate in certain products
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.
Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/749 amending Union authorisation for Evonik’s Hydrogen Peroxide Product Family
This regulation updates the existing Union authorisation for Evonik’s Hydrogen Peroxide Product Family by implementing various administrative changes requested by Evonik Operations GmbH. The changes include adding and removing trade names, adding and removing product manufacturers, updating names of active substances and manufacturers, and changing a manufacturer's address. The European Chemicals Agency reviewed the notifications and confirmed these are purely administrative under Article 50(3)(a) of the Biocidal Products Regulation, with all safety and efficacy conditions remaining satisfied. The full summary of product characteristics has been replaced in the Annex to provide a consolidated, updated version that also incorporates minor editorial and layout improvements due to a 2024 register format change.
Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/750 granting Union authorisation for the biocidal product family 'ECA Disinfect skin Product family 7'
This regulation grants a 10-year Union-wide authorisation (EU-0035043-0000) to ECA Consortium A/S for the biocidal product family 'ECA Disinfect skin Product family 7'. The product contains 0.075–0.1% active chlorine released from hypochlorous acid and is authorised exclusively for non-medical hand disinfection (Product Type 1 – human hygiene). It is not authorised for other uses in PT1 or for PT3. The authorisation is valid from 21 April 2026 until 31 March 2036. The product is to be applied by pouring 3 ml onto hands, rubbing for 30 seconds, and repeating the process, with a maximum of 25 uses per day for professionals and 10 for non-professionals.
Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/748 on Coordinated Multiannual Union Control Programme for Pesticide Residues 2027-2029
This regulation establishes the EU's coordinated monitoring programme for pesticide residues in food for the years 2027, 2028 and 2029. Member States must collect and analyse a minimum number of samples from specified plant and animal products, including fruits, vegetables, grains, fats, milk and eggs. The programme covers over 100 pesticide/product combinations with specific sampling years for certain substances. Results must be reported to EFSA by 31 August each following year using standardised formats. It repeals the previous programme (2025/854) but allows it to apply to 2026 samples.
Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2026/744 on temporary exceptional crisis distillation for the French wine sector in marketing year 2025/2026
This regulation provides France with EUR 40 million from the EU agricultural reserve to support the distillation of up to approximately 1.2 million hectolitres of excess red and rosé wines. The measure addresses persistent market imbalance caused by declining domestic consumption and exports, despite previous distillation efforts and vineyard grubbing-up. Support is capped at EUR 33 per hectolitre and covers only the costs of wine supply and distillation. The resulting alcohol may only be used for industrial, pharmaceutical, disinfection or energy purposes, not for the food and drink industry. Payments must be made by 31 December 2026 to qualify for Union financing.
Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2026/753 recognising Latvia's report on accurate greenhouse gas emission data for rapeseed cultivation
The European Commission has officially recognised that the report submitted by Latvia on 23 July 2025 contains accurate typical greenhouse gas emission values for the cultivation of rapeseed in its NUTS 2 regions. This allows Latvia to use these country-specific typical values instead of the EU default values when calculating GHG emission savings for biofuels derived from rapeseed under Directive (EU) 2018/2001. The decision includes specific emission factors for rapeseed cultivation in Latvia, with a total value of 0.705 tonnes CO₂ eq per tonne of rapeseed harvested (dry matter basis). The recognition is valid until 21 April 2031, provided the data remains accurate.
Commission Regulation (EU) 2026/752 amending Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 as regards maximum residue levels for Allium fistulosum processed, lysate of Willaertia magna, magnesium hydroxide E528, Onobrychis viciifolia dried pellets and Vitis vinifera L. seed extract
This regulation adds five substances — processed Allium fistulosum, lysate of Willaertia magna, magnesium hydroxide E528, dried pellets of Onobrychis viciifolia (sainfoin), and Vitis vinifera L. seed extract — to Annex IV of the EU pesticide MRL Regulation. These substances, previously subject to the default 0.01 mg/kg MRL, are now explicitly exempted from any maximum residue limits. The Commission determined that their approved uses as basic or low-risk substances under Regulation 1107/2009 do not lead to residues posing consumer risk. Lysate of Willaertia magna was assessed by EFSA as having no hazardous properties, making toxicological reference values unnecessary.
Opinion 11/2026: Proposal for AgoraEU Programme Regulation (2028–2034), Repealing Regulations (EU) 2021/692 and (EU) 2021/818
This is an official opinion (Opinion 11/2026) issued by a supervisory or advisory EU body — likely the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) or the European Economic and Social Committee — concerning the European Commission's legislative proposal COM(2025) 550 final. The proposal seeks to establish the AgoraEU programme, a new EU funding and support framework covering the period 2028 to 2034, intended to replace two existing programmes: Regulation (EU) 2021/692 (Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values — CERV programme) and Regulation (EU) 2021/818 (Creative Europe programme). The AgoraEU programme appears to consolidate civic participation, democratic values, equality, rights, cultural and creative sectors under a single integrated framework. The opinion reviews the proposal from the issuing body's perspective — assessing its compatibility with fundamental rights, data protection rules, or broader EU policy coherence, depending on the issuing institution. By repealing Regulation (EU) 2021/692 (CERV) and Regulation (EU) 2021/818 (Creative Europe), the new programme signals a structural reorganisation of EU support for civil society, culture, media, and democratic engagement for the post-2027 Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) period. The opinion likely recommends amendments or safeguards to the proposal, ensuring that the AgoraEU programme respects fundamental rights, data protection obligations, and transparent governance, particularly given the programme's involvement with civil society organisations and democratic participation initiatives.
