Summary :

Delifruit seeks the partial annulment of the Commission Regulation (EU) 2020/1085 in so far as it establishes the maximum residue levels for chlorpyrifos for bananas at 0.01 mg/kg. It alleges the Commission has committed a manifest error of assessment by not taking into account a relevant factor (a substantive study disproving one of the alleged reasons for the adoption of the maximum residue limit) in its assessment leading to the adoption of the contested act, and, in so doing, has also infringed Article 14(2) (a) and (f) of Regulation 396/2005 which require that all relevant and available data be taken into account by it.
