Text
The text voted on.
AI: What this vote decides Written by AI from the official text — check the source
The 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.
AI: The text in short Written by AI from the official text — check the source
Parliament opposes the draft Commission regulation that would maintain maximum residue levels (MRLs) for cyproconazole and spirodiclofen in certain products, arguing it is incompatible with EU law and the precautionary principle.
