THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 609/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 June 2013 on food intended for infants and young children, food for special medical purposes and total diet replacement for weight control and repealing Council Directive 92/52/EEC, Commission Directives 96/8/EC, 1999/21/EC, 2006/125/EC and 2006/141/EC, Directive 2009/39/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Commission Regulations (EC) No 41/2009 and (EC) No 953/2009note, and in particular Article 11(2) thereof,Whereas:
(1)Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/128note lays down, among other issues, specific requirements on pesticides and the residues thereof, in food for special medical purposes developed to satisfy the nutritional requirements of infants and young children.
(2)Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/128 defines residue of pesticides by using the terminology of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Councilnote.
(3)However, Article 3(2)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Councilnote provides for a more precise definition of pesticide residues.
(4)For reasons of legal certainty and clarity, it is necessary to align the definition of a pesticide residue contained in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/128 with the definition contained in Article 3(2)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.
(5)Taking into account that the residue definitions for active substances should apply as defined in Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, it is appropriate to include only the parent compounds of the active substances in the lists set out in Annexes II and III to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/128, in view of future amendments to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.
(6)Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/128 should therefore be amended accordingly.
