(9)Live bivalve molluscs placed on the market are not to contain marine biotoxins that exceed the limits established in Annex III, Section VII, Chapter V (2) of Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Councilnote. Regarding Pectenotoxins (PTX), the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has concluded that there are no reports on adverse effects in humans associated with Pectenotoxins (PTX) group toxinsnote. As PTX have been removed from the health standards for live bivalve molluscs in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/1374note, it is therefore appropriate to remove them as well from the provisions of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/627.
