In accordance with Article 43 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, EFSA received a request from the European Commission to provide support for the preparation of the EU position for the 45 th session of the Codex Committee on Pesticide Residues (CCPR). In 2012, JMPR evaluated 12 active substances regarding the setting of toxicological reference values to be used in consumer risk assessment, 7 new compounds (ametoctradin, chlorfenapyr, dinotefuran, fluxapyroxad, MCPA, picoxystrobin, sedaxane) and 4 part of periodic reevaluation (benzoate, fenpropathrin, fenvalerate, glufosinate‐ammonium). Regarding the setting of Maximum Residue Limits (CXLs), JMPR assessed 26 substances (ametoctradin, azoxystrobin, buprofezin, carbofuran, chlorfenapyr, chlorothalonil, cycloxydim, cyfluthrin, cyromazine, dichlorvos, dicofol, dinotefuran, fenvalerate, fludioxonil, fluopyram, fluxapyroxad, glufosinate‐ammonium, imidacloprid, MCPA, methoxyfenozide, penthiopyrad, phorate, picoxystrobin, sedaxane, spinetoram and trifloxystrobin). EFSA derived comments on the JMPR evaluations regarding the acceptability of the proposed draft Codex MRLs and the toxicological reference values.
