Abstract
The European Commission asked EFSA to provide support in the framework of Article 43 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 for the preparation of the EU position for 55th Session of the Codex Committee on Pesticide Residues (CCPR). In the current report, EFSA provided comments and recommendations on the Codex maximum residue level (MRL) proposals derived by the Joint Meeting on Pesticide Residues (JMPR) that will be discussed in the upcoming CCPR meeting. The current report should serve as the basis for deriving the EU position for the CCPR meeting.

Abstract
EFSA received a request from the European Commission to provide support for the preparation of the EU position for 53rd Session of the Codex Committee on Pesticide Residues (CCPR). In 2021, JMPR evaluated 38 active substances with regard to their toxicological properties and/or the setting of Codex Maximum Residue Limits (CXLs) (acetamiprid, bixafen, clofentezine, clothianidin, cyprodinil, difenoconazole, ethion, ethiprole, fenbuconazole, fenhexamid, fenpicoxamide, fenpyroximate, fipronil, fluopyram, flutianil, imazalil, isoprothiolane, isoxaflutole, mandipropamid, mefentrifluconazole, metalaxyl, metalaxyl‐M, methoprene, methoxyfenozide, pendimethalin, prothioconazole, pydiflumetofen, pyrasulfotole, pyraziflumid, quinoxyfen, spinetoram, spiropidion, sulfoxaflor, tebuconazole, tetraniliprole, thiamethoxam, trifloxystrobin, trinexapac). EFSA prepared comments on the Codex MRL proposals and the proposed toxicological reference values. In addition, EFSA provided further considerations on follow‐up assessments of JMPR on pesticides for which specific concerns on the toxicological or residue assessments were raised in the previous CCPR meetings (afidopyropen, fluensulfone, metconazole, propiconazole). The current report should serve as the basis for deriving the EU position for the CCPR meeting.

Abstract
In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the applicants De Sangosse SAS and Tilco‐Alginure submitted two requests, respectively, to the competent national authorities in France and Germany to modify the existing maximum residue levels (MRLs) for the active substance potassium phosphonates in various plant commodities. The data submitted in support of the requests were found to be sufficient to derive MRL proposals for the commodities under assessment. For the derived MRL on baby leaf crops, further risk manager consideration is required to decide between two MRL options. Adequate analytical methods for enforcement are available to control the residues of potassium phosphonates in accordance with the residue definition 'phosphonic acid and its salts expressed as phosphonic acid' in the commodities under consideration. Based on the risk assessment results and assuming that the existing MRLs will be amended as proposed by EFSA in previous outputs, EFSA concluded that the long‐term intake of residues resulting from the existing uses of fosetyl and phosphonates (previously assessed in a joint MRL review) and new proposed uses of potassium phosphonates is unlikely to present a risk to consumer health. Considering the toxicological profile of the active substance, a short‐term dietary risk assessment was not required. The risk assessment shall be regarded as indicative because some MRL proposals derived by EFSA in the framework of the MRL review according to Articles 12 and 43 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 require further consideration by risk managers.
