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.
