Cites 3: Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 February 2005 on maximum residue levels of pesticides in or on food and feed of plant and animal origin and amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC Text with EEA relevance.; Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1004; Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/642

In force

(13)L-cysteine and cow milk have been approved as basic substances by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/642^note and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1004^note, respectively. The conditions of use of those substances are not expected to lead to the presence of residues in food or feed commodities that may pose a risk to the consumer. It is therefore appropriate to include those substances in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.
