(3)For diphenylamine temporary MRLs were set by Regulation (EU) No 772/2013note for apples and pears until 2 September 2015, to address an unavoidable cross-contamination that affected untreated apples and pears and which was due to the presence of residues of diphenylamine in storage facilities. Commission Regulation (EU) 2016/67note extended the validity of those MRLs until 22 January 2018 to provide the necessary time for business operators to completely remove the residues of diphenylamine in storage facilities. The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) and food business operators submitted recent monitoring data showing that residues of diphenylamine no longer occur at levels above the relevant limit of determination (LOD).
