“…6 Certain Codex maximum residue limits (CXLs) have also been taken over in the EU MRL legislation. The MRL proposals for sulfoxaflor in various crops as derived in the recent EFSA assessments (EFSA, 2019b , 2022a , 2023a ) have not been yet adopted in the EU MRL legislation but will nevertheless be considered in the present consumer risk assessment. The same refers to several CXL proposals which were evaluated by the Joint FAO/WHO Meeting on Pesticide Residues (JMPR) and are supported for the inclusion in the EU MRL legislation (CAC, 2022 ; EFSA, 2019c , 2022b ; FAO, 2019 , 2021 ).…”

“…In the framework of the preparation of the EU position for the 54th Session of the Codex Committee on Pesticide Residues (CCPR), EFSA recently issued a scientific report on Codex MRL proposals for sulfoxaflor in various plant commodities (EFSA, 2023b ; FAO, 2023 ). However, it is noted that the proposed Codex MRLs for globe artichokes and sunflower seeds are already covered by a recent import tolerance opinion (EFSA, 2023a ).…”

“…EFSA based its assessment on the evaluation report submitted by the EMS (Belgium, 2023 ), the DAR and its addendum (Ireland, 2012 , 2014 ) prepared under Regulation (EC) 1107/2009, the Commission review report on sulfoxaflor (European Commission, 2015 ), the conclusion on the peer review of the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance sulfoxaflor (EFSA, 2014a ), as well as the conclusions from previous EFSA opinions on sulfoxaflor (EFSA, 2017b , 2019b , 2022a , 2023a ) and the EFSA reports based on JMPR assessments (EFSA, 2014b , 2015 , 2017a , 2019c , 2022b , 2023b ).…”

“…Furthermore, during a previous MRL application, it was demonstrated that both compounds are stable for at least up to 24.5 months in high‐water, high‐acid and high‐oil commodities when stored at −20°C (EFSA, 2023a ).…”

“…For the remaining commodities covered by the MRL legislation, the existing EU MRLs and the corresponding STMR values derived in the EU pesticide peer review, previous MRL applications and JMPR evaluations were selected as input values (EFSA, 2014a , 2017b ; FAO, 2012 , 2014 , 2015 ). Additionally, CXL proposals which were evaluated by the JMPR and supported for inclusion in the EU MRL legislation (CAC, 2022 ; EFSA, 2019c , 2022b ; FAO, 2019 , 2021 ) and the crops for which MRL proposals were derived in recent EFSA assessments (EFSA, 2019a , 2022a , 2023a ) which so far have not been implemented in the EU MRL legislation, were also included in the calculations.…”

In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the Federal Public Service (FPS) Health, Food chain Safety and Environment submitted a request on behalf of Belgium (evaluating Member State, EMS) to modify the existing maximum residue levels (MRL) in okra/lady's fingers and various leaf vegetables, herbs and edible flowers. The data submitted in support of the request were found to be sufficient to derive MRL proposals for all crops under assessment. Adequate analytical methods for enforcement are available to control the residues of sulfoxaflor in plant matrices under consideration at the validated limit of quantification (LOQ) of 0.01 mg/kg. Based on the risk assessment results, EFSA concluded that the shortterm and long-term intake of residues resulting from the use of sulfoxaflor according to the reported agricultural practices is unlikely to present a risk to consumer health.

Regulatory Evolution of Neonicotinoid Insecticides as Plant Protection Active Substances in Europe

Neonicotinoid (NN) insecticides derived from natural insecticide nicotine are EU chemical crop protection systemic active substances that are controversial regarding their toxicity and ecotoxicity, especially versus pollinators and birds. Clearly, the last European evaluation by the European Food Safety Authority exhibited a danger to wild and managed bees. Concomitantly, the decline in birds was partially attributed to this class of substances, which constitutes a family in itself, both in Europe and the USA. At the regulatory level, following the initial approval waves in 2011 and 2019, and mainly taking into account these ecotoxicological considerations, the commission banned the use of three NN insecticides in 2013 (imidacloprid, clothianidin, and thiamethoxam), and later, only one NN (acetamiprid) was renewed. Four NN approvals were removed by the end of approval or non-renewal in 2019 and 2020, and two are currently concerns for renewals in 2025, even if extensions of the approval durations of these NNs are to be expected due to the current slowness of the renewal procedure. Therefore, from the total number (17) of NN insecticide molecules known all over the world, up to seven NN were approved by the EU plant protection Regulation EC 1107/2009 between 2011 and now. All of these active substances are listed in Parts A and B of Regulation EU 540/2011 managing active substances. The regulatory evolution of these agrochemicals is analysed in this work, from the corresponding global modifications in terms of the number of active substances, employment, functions, uses covered, protected crops, and maximum residue limits. We also analysed their ability to persist as an agrochemical family and the potential of the inclusion of new NN members together with their current restrictions during their active substance life in Europe.
