COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2024/989
of 2 April 2024
concerning a coordinated multiannual control programme of the Union for 2025, 2026 and 2027 to
ensure compliance with maximum residue levels of pesticides and to assess the consumer exposure
to pesticide residues in and on food of plant and animal origin and repealing Implementing
Regulation (EU) 2023/731
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 February 2005on
maximum residue levels of pesticides in or on food and feed of plant and animal origin and amending Council
Directive 91/414/EEC(1), and in particular Article 29(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1213/2008(2) established a first coordinated multiannual Community control
programme, covering the years 2009, 2010 and 2011. That programme has continued under consecutive
regulations, of which the latest one is Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/731(3).
(2) 30 to 40 products constitute the major components of people’s diet in the Union. Since pesticide uses show
significant changes over a period of 3 years, pesticides need to be monitored in those products over a series of
three-year cycles to allow the assessment of both consumer exposure and application of Union legislation.
(3) The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) submitted a scientific report on the design assessment of the
pesticide monitoring programme(4). It concluded that a maximum residue level exceedance rate above 1 % could be
estimated with a margin of error of 0,75 % by selecting 683 sample units for a minimum of 32 different products.
Collection of those samples should be apportioned among Member States in relation to population figures, with a
minimum of 12 samples per product and per year.
(4) Analytical results from the previous Union official control programmes have been taken into account to ensure that
the range of pesticides covered by the control programme is representative of the pesticides used.
(5) In line with the SANTE Working document on the summing up of LOQs in case of complex residue definitions(5),
where the residue definition of a pesticide includes other active substances, metabolites and/or breakdown or
reaction products, those compounds should be reported separately as far as they are measured individually.

(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1213/2008 of 5 December 2008 concerning a coordinated multiannual Community control
programme for 2009, 2010 and 2011 to ensure compliance with maximum residue levels of and to assess the consumer exposure to
pesticide residues in and on food of plant and animal origin (OJ L 328, 6.12.2008, p. 9, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2008/1213/
oj).
(3) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/731 of 3 April 2023 concerning a coordinated multiannual control programme of
the Union for 2024, 2025 and 2026 to ensure compliance with maximum levels of pesticides and to assess the consumer exposure to
pesticide residues in and on food of plant and animal origin and repealing Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/741 (OJ L 95,

(6) In order to ensure a harmonised submission of information by Member States concerning the results of pesticide
residues analysis, enabling the Authority to have comparable results, Member States should use agreed guidelines,
such as the Standard Sample Description version 2 and the Chemical Monitoring Reporting Guideline.
(7) For the sampling procedures, Commission Directive 2002/63/EC(6)which incorporates the sampling methods and
procedures recommended by the Codex Alimentarius Commission, should apply.
(8) It is necessary to assess whether maximum residue levels for food for infants and young children provided for in
Article 4 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/127(7), Article 3 of Commission Delegated Regulation
(EU) 2016/128(8)and Article 7 of Commission Directive 2006/125/EC(9)are complied with, taking into account
only the residue definitions set out in Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.
(9) As regards single residue methods, since not all Member States may have the required validated analytical methods,
Member States should be allowed to meet their obligations of analysis by transmitting samples to official
laboratories already having the required validated methods.
(10) In order to allow the Authority sufficient time to evaluate and compile the reported results, Member States should
submit by 31 August of each year the information concerning the previous calendar year.
(11) In order to avoid any confusion due to an overlap between consecutive multiannual programmes, Implementing
Regulation (EU) 2023/731 should be repealed. It should, however, continue to apply to samples tested in 2024.
(12) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on
Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Member States(10) shall, during the years 2025, 2026 and 2027, take and analyse samples for the pesticide/product

B. ANALYTICAL QUALITY CONTROL GUIDELINES
1. Member States using multi-residue methods may use qualitative screening methods on up to 15 % of the samples to be
taken and analysed in accordance with point 1 of point A. Where qualitative screening methods are used, the remaining
number of samples shall be analysed by quantitative multi-residue methods.
Where the results of qualitative screening are positive, Member States shall use a usual target method to quantify the
findings.
2. As regards single residue methods, Member States may transmit samples to be taken and analysed in accordance with
point 1 of point A to official laboratories already having the required validated analytical methods.
3. Guidance concerning ‘Analytical quality control and validation procedures for pesticide residues analysis in food and
feed’(1)is published on the Commission website.
