amending Annexes II and IV to Regulation EC No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards maximum residue levels for fish oil, pendimethalin, sheep fat and spirotetramat 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 51 and Article 141, point a, thereof, Whereas:
1
For pendimethalin and spirotetramat, maximum residue levels MRLs were set in Annex II to Regulation EC
No 396/2005. Fish oil and sheep fat are included in Annex IV to that Regulation.
2
As regards the active substance pendimethalin, an application pursuant to Article 61 of Regulation EC
No 396/2005 requesting a modification of the existing MRLs was submitted for peas with pods, beans with pods and leeks. As regards the active substance spirotetramat, such an application was submitted for herbs and edible flowers.
3
In accordance with Article 8 of Regulation EC No 396/2005, those applications were evaluated by the Member States concerned and the evaluation reports were forwarded to the Commission.
4
The European Food Safety Authority the Authority assessed the applications and the evaluation reports, examining in particular the risks to consumers and, where relevant, to animals, and gave reasoned opinions on the proposed MRLs 2. It forwarded those opinions to the applicants, the Commission and the Member States and made them available to the public.
5
As regards spirotetramat, in herbs and edible flowers, others, the Authority did not recommend a specific MRL
value. Nevertheless, the Authority noted that risk managers may consider to implement the MRL of 10 mg/kg to the whole group of herbs and edible flowers, and that this would be safe for consumers. Therefore, it is appropriate to propose setting the MRL for spirotetramat in herbs and edible flowers, others, at 10 mg/kg in accordance with the relevant Commission Technical Guidelines 3.
