Abstract
In accordance with Article 31 of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002, the European Commission mandated EFSA to issue a statement to determine if 3‐phenoxybenzoic acid (PBA or 3‐PBA) and 3‐(4′‐hydroxyphenoxy)benzoic acid (PBA(OH) or 4‐OH‐PBA) (metabolites common to several pyrethroid substances) should be included in the residue definitions for risk assessment, and if so to conclude on the appropriate definitions (crops, livestock and processed commodities, where necessary). EFSA prepared a statement containing conclusions and recommendations concerning the residue definitions for risk assessment of PBA and PBA(OH). The statement was circulated to Member States for consultation via a written procedure before finalisation.
