COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) 2019/552
of 4 April 2019
amending Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards maximum residue levels for azoxystrobin, bicyclopyrone, chlormequat, cyprodinil, difenoconazole, fenpropimorph, fenpyroximate, fluopyram, fosetyl, isoprothiolane, isopyrazam, oxamyl, prothioconazole, spinetoram, trifloxystrobin and triflumezopyrim in or on certain products
(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 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 (1), and in particular Article 14(1)(a) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
On 6 July 2018, the Codex Alimentarius Commission adopted new Codex maximum residue limits (CXLs) for azoxystrobin, bicyclopyrone, chlormequat, cyprodinil, difenoconazole, fenazaquin, fenpropimorph, fenpyroximate, flonicamid, fluopyram, flupyradifurone, fosetyl, imazamox, imazapyr, isoprothiolane, isopyrazam, oxamyl, picoxystrobin, prothioconazole, quinclorac, saflufenacil, spinetoram, tebuconazole, trifloxystrobin and triflumezopyrim (2). |
(2) |
Maximum residue levels (MRLs) had been set for those substances in Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, except for bicyclopyrone and triflumezopyrim for which no specific MRLs were set nor were those substances included in Annex IV to that Regulation, so the default value of 0,01 mg/kg laid down in Article 18(1)(b) thereof applies. |
(3) |
In accordance with Article 5(3) of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), where international standards exist or their completion is imminent, they are to be taken into consideration in the development or adaptation of food law, except where such standards or relevant parts would be an ineffective or inappropriate means for the fulfilment of the legitimate objectives of food law or where there is a scientific justification, or where they would result in a different level of protection from the one determined as appropriate in the Union. Moreover, in accordance with point (e) of Article 13 of that Regulation, the Union is to promote consistency between international technical standards and food law while ensuring that the high level of protection adopted in the Union is not reduced. |
(4) |
The Union presented a reservation (4) to the Codex Committee on Pesticides Residues on the CXLs proposed for the following pesticide/product combinations: bicyclopyrone (mammalian edible offal); difenoconazole (pome fruit; rice); fenazaquin (all products); fenpropimorph (banana); fenpyroximate (pears; cucumbers; melons; peppers; coffee beans; citrus fruits; animal products); flonicamid (all products); fluopyram (milk; rice; dry peas); flupyradifurone (all products); imazamox (all products); imazapyr (all products); oxamyl (cucumber; summer squash); picoxystrobin (all products); quinclorac (all products); saflufenacil (all products); spinetoram (avocado; plums; animal products); tebuconazole (all products); trifloxystrobin (head cabbages). |
(5) |
The CXLs for azoxystrobin, bicyclopyrone, chlormequat, cyprodinil, difenoconazole, fenpropimorph, fenpyroximate, fluopyram, fosetyl, isoprothiolane, isopyrazam, oxamyl, prothioconazole, spinetoram, trifloxystrobin and triflumezopyrim, which are not listed in recital 4, should therefore be included in Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 as MRLs except where they relate to products which are not referred to in Annex I to that Regulation or where they are at a lower level than the current MRLs. Those CXLs are safe for consumers in the Union (5). |
(6) |
In the context of a procedure for the authorisation of the use of a plant protection product containing the active substance potassium phosphonates on blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, currants, gooseberries and elderberries, an application was submitted in accordance with Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 for modification of the existing MRLs for fosetyl. |
(7) |
In accordance with Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, that application was evaluated by the Member State concerned and the evaluation report was forwarded to the Commission. |
(8) |
The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) assessed the application and the evaluation report, examining in particular the risks to the consumer and, where relevant, to animals and gave a reasoned opinion on the proposed MRLs (6). It forwarded that opinion to the applicant, the Commission and the Member State and made it available to the public. |
(9) |
The Authority concluded that all requirements with respect to data were met and that the modifications to the MRLs requested by the applicant were acceptable with regard to consumer safety on the basis of a consumer exposure assessment for 27 specific European consumer groups. It took into account the most recent information on the toxicological properties of the substance. Neither the lifetime exposure to this substance via consumption of all food products that may contain it, nor the short-term exposure due to high consumption of the relevant products showed that there is a risk that the acceptable daily intake or the acute reference dose is exceeded. |
(10) |
Based on the reasoned opinion of the Authority and taking into account the factors relevant to the matter under consideration, the appropriate modifications to the MRLs fulfil the requirements of Article 14(2) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. |
(11) |
Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly. |
(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
Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION (EU) 2019/553
of 3 April 2019
on cybersecurity in the energy sector
(notified under document C(2019) 2400)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 292 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
The European energy sector is undergoing an important change towards a decarbonised economy, while ensuring security of supply and competitiveness. As part of that energy transition and the related decentralisation of power generation from renewable sources, technological progress, sector coupling, and digitalisation are turning Europe's power grid into a ‘smart grid’. At the same time, this also brings new risks as digitalisation increasingly exposes the energy system to cyberattacks and incidents which may jeopardize the security of energy supply. |
(2) |
The adoption of all eight legislative proposals (1) of the ‘Clean Energy for all Europeans’ Package including the Energy Union Governance as stepping stone, allows to create a favourable environment for the digital transformation of the energy sector. It also acknowledges the importance of cybersecurity in the energy sector. In particular, the recast of the Regulation on the Internal Market for Electricity (2) provides for the adoption of technical rules for electricity such as a Network Code on sector-specific rules for cybersecurity aspects of cross-border electricity flows, on common minimum requirements, planning, monitoring, reporting and crisis management. The Regulation on Electricity Risk Preparedness (3) broadly follows the approach chosen in the Regulation on Security of Gas Supply (4); stressing the need to properly assess all risks, including those related to cybersecurity, and proposing to adopt measures to prevent and mitigate those identified risks. |
(3) |
When the Commission adopted the EU Cybersecurity Strategy (5) in 2013, it identified strengthening the Union's cyber-resilience as a priority. One of the key deliverables of the Strategy is the Directive on Security of Network and Information Systems (6) (hereafter, the ‘NIS Directive’), which was adopted in July 2016. As the first piece of horizontal EU legislation on cybersecurity, the NIS Directive boosts the overall level of cybersecurity in the Union through the development of national cybersecurity capabilities, the increase of EU-level cooperation and the introduction of security and incident reporting obligations for companies referred to as ‘operators of essential services’. Incident reporting is mandatory in key sectors, including the energy sector. |
(4) |
When implementing preparedness measures in cybersecurity, the relevant stakeholders, including operators of essential services in energy as identified under the NIS Directive, should take into account the horizontal guidance issued by the NIS Cooperation Group established under Article 11 of the NIS Directive. That Cooperation Group, which is composed of representatives of Member States, the European Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) and the Commission, has adopted guidance documents concerning security measures and incident notification. In June 2018, that Group created a dedicated work stream on energy. |
(5) |
The 2017 Joint Communication on Cybersecurity (7) acknowledges the importance of sector specific considerations and requirements at EU level, including in the energy sector. Cybersecurity and possible policy implications have been the subject of a comprehensive discussion process in the Union over the recent years. Consequently, there is rising awareness today that individual economic sectors face specific cybersecurity issues and, therefore, need to develop their own sectoral approaches in the wider context of general cybersecurity strategies. |
(6) |
Information sharing and trust are key elements in cybersecurity. The Commission aims to increase the sharing of information among the relevant stakeholders by organising dedicated events, as for examples, the high-level roundtable on cybersecurity in energy organised in Rome in March 2017 and the high-level conference on cybersecurity in energy organised in Brussels in October 2018. The Commission also wants to enhance the cooperation between relevant stakeholders and specialised entities such as the European Energy Information Sharing and Analysis Centre. |
(7) |
The Regulation on ENISA, the ‘EU Cybersecurity Agency’, and on Information and Communication Technology cybersecurity certification (‘Cybersecurity Act Regulation (8)’) will strengthen the mandate of the EU Agency for Cybersecurity so as to better support Member States in tackling cybersecurity threats and attacks. It also creates a European cybersecurity framework for the certification of products, processes and services that will be valid throughout the Union and is of particular interest for the energy sector. |
(8) |
The Commission has put forward a Recommendation (9) addressing cybersecurity risks in the 5th generation (5G) of network technologies by setting out guidance on appropriate risk analysis and management measures at national level, on developing a coordinated European risk analysis and on establishing a process to develop a common toolbox of best risk management measures. Once rolled out, 5G networks will form the backbone for a wide range of services essential for the functioning of the internal market and operation of vital societal and economic functions such as energy. |
(9) |
This Recommendation should provide non-exhaustive guidance to Member States and relevant stakeholders, in particular network operators and technology suppliers, for achieving a higher level of cybersecurity in view of the specific real-time requirements identified for the energy sector, cascading effects and the combination of legacy and state-of-the-art technologies. This guidance aims at helping stakeholders keep in mind the specific requirements of the energy sector when implementing internationally recognised cybersecurity standards (10). |
(10) |
The Commission intends to regularly review this Recommendation based on the progress made across the Union in consultation with Member States and relevant stakeholders. The Commission will continue its efforts to strengthen cybersecurity in the energy sector, notably through the NIS Cooperation Group, which ensures strategic cooperation and exchange of information among Member States in cybersecurity, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS RECOMMENDATION:
SUBJECT MATTER
(1) |
This Recommendation sets out the main issues related to cybersecurity in the energy sector, namely real-time requirements, cascading effects and combination of legacy and state-of-the-art technology, and identifies the main actions for implementing relevant cybersecurity preparedness measures in the energy sector. |
(2) |
In applying this Recommendation, Member States should encourage the relevant stakeholders to build up knowledge and skills related to cybersecurity in the energy sector. Where appropriate, Member States should also include these considerations into their national cybersecurity framework, notably through strategies, laws, regulations and other administrative provisions. |
REAL-TIME REQUIREMENTS OF ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE COMPONENTS
(3) |
Member States should ensure that the relevant stakeholders, notably energy network operators and technology suppliers, and in particular operators of essential services identified under the NIS Directive, implement the relevant cybersecurity preparedness measures related to real-time requirements in the energy sector. Some elements of the energy system need to work under ‘real time’, that is to say reacting to commands within a few milliseconds, which makes it difficult or even impossible to introduce cybersecurity measures due to a lack of time. |
(4) |
In particular, energy network operators should:
|
(5) |
Where available, energy network operators should also:
|
CASCADING EFFECTS
(6) |
Member States should ensure that the relevant stakeholders, notably energy network operators and technology suppliers, and in particular operators of essential services identified under the NIS Directive, implement the relevant cybersecurity preparedness measures related to cascading effects in the energy sector. Electricity grids and gas pipelines are strongly interconnected across Europe and a cyber-attack creating an outage or disruption in a part of the energy system might trigger far-reaching cascading effects into other parts of that system. |
(7) |
In applying this Recommendation, Member States should evaluate the interdependencies and criticality of power generation and flexible-demand systems, transmission and distribution substations and lines, and the associated impacted stakeholders (including cross-border situations) in case of a successful cyber-attack or cyber incident. Member States should also ensure that energy network operators have a communication framework with all key stakeholders to share early warning signs and cooperate on crisis management. There should be structured communication channels and agreed formats in place in order to share sensitive information with all relevant stakeholders, Computer Security Incident Response Teams, and relevant authorities. |
(8) |
In particular, energy network operators should:
|
LEGACY AND STATE-OF-THE-ART TECHNOLOGY
(9) |
Member States should ensure that the relevant stakeholders, notably energy network operators and technology suppliers, and in particular operators of essential services identified under the NIS Directive, implement the relevant cybersecurity preparedness measures related to the combination of legacy and state-of-the-art technology in the energy sector. Indeed, two different types of technologies co-exist in today's energy system: an older technology with a lifespan of 30 to 60 years, designed before cybersecurity considerations, and modern equipment, reflecting state-of-the-art digitalisation and smart devices. |
(10) |
In applying this Recommendation, Member States should encourage energy network operators and technology suppliers to follow the relevant internationally accepted standards on cybersecurity wherever possible. Meanwhile, stakeholders and customers should adopt a cybersecurity-oriented approach when connecting devices to the grid. |
(11) |
In particular, technology suppliers should provide tested solutions for security issues in legacy or new technologies free of charge and as soon as a relevant security issue becomes known. |
(12) |
In particular, energy network operators should:
|
MONITORING
(13) |
Member States should communicate to the Commission, within 12 months after the adoption of this Recommendation, and every two years thereafter, detailed information regarding the state of implementation of this Recommendation through the NIS Cooperation Group. |
REVIEW
(14) |
On the basis of the information submitted by the Member States, the Commission will review the implementation of this Recommendation and assess whether further measures are required as appropriate in consultation with the Member States and the relevant stakeholders. |
ADDRESSEES
(15) |
This Recommendation is addressed to the Member States. |
