         COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2005/70/EC
   of 20 October 2005
   amending Council Directives 76/895/EEC, 86/362/EEC, 86/363/EEC and 90/642/EEC as regards maximum residue levels for certain pesticides in and on cereals and certain products of animal and plant origin
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
   Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
   Having regard to Council Directive 76/895/EEC of 23 November 1976 relating to the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on fruit and vegetables (1), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
   Having regard to Council Directive 86/362/EEC of 24 July 1986 on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on cereals (2), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
   Having regard to Council Directive 86/363/EEC of 24 July 1986 on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on foodstuffs of animal origin (3), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
   Having regard to Council Directive 90/642/EEC of 27 November 1990 on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on certain products of plant origin, including fruit and vegetables (4), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
   Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (5) and in particular Article 4(1)(f) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               The following existing active substances have been included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC: glyphosate by Commission Directive 2001/99/EC (6), chlorpropham by Commission Directive 2004/20/EC (7) and bromoxynil, and ioxinyl by Commission Directive 2004/58/EC (8).

               (2)

               The following new active substances have been included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC: dimethenamid-P and flurtamone by Commission Directive 2003/84/EC (9) propoxycarbazone and zoxamide by Commission Directive 2003/119/EC (10), flazasulfuron and pyraclostrobin by Commission Directive 2004/30/EC (11), quinoxyfen by Commission Directive 2004/60/EC (12) and mepanipyrim, by Commission Directive 2004/62/EC (13).

               (3)

               The inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of the active substances concerned was based on the assessment of the information submitted concerning their proposed use. Information relating to that use has been submitted by certain Member States in accordance with Article 4(1)(f) of Directive 91/414/EEC. The information available has been reviewed and is sufficient to allow certain maximum residue levels (MRLs) to be fixed.

               (4)

               Community MRLs and the levels recommended by the Codex Alimentarius are fixed and evaluated following similar procedures. There are a number of Codex MRLs for chlorpropham, and glyphosate. There are already Community MRLs in Directive 76/895/EEC for chlorpropham (Council Directive 82/528/EEC (14)) and in Directives 86/362/EEC, 86/363/EEC and 90/642/EEC for glyphosate (Council Directive 1998/82/EC (15)). These have been taken into consideration when setting the MRLs concerned by the adaptations made by this Directive. Codex MRLs that will be recommended for withdrawal in the near future were not taken into account. The MRLs based on Codex MRLs have been evaluated in the light of the risks for the consumers. No risk was established when using the toxicological end points based on the studies available to the Commission.

               (5)

               The Commission review reports which were prepared for the inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of the active substances concerned fixed the Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) and, if necessary, the Acute Reference Dose (ARfD) for those substances. The exposure of consumers of food products treated with the active substances concerned has been assessed in accordance with Community procedures. Account has also been taken of guidelines published by the World Health Organisation (16) and the opinion of the Scientific Committee for Plants (17) on the methodology employed. It is concluded that MRLs proposed will not lead to those ADIs or ARfD being exceeded.

               (6)

               In order to ensure that the consumer is adequately protected from exposure to residues resulting from unauthorised uses of plant protection products, provisional MRLs should be set for the relevant product/pesticide combinations at the lower limit of analytical determination.

               (7)

               The setting at Community level of such provisional MRLs does not prevent the Member States from establishing provisional MRLs for the substances concerned in accordance with Article 4(1)(f) of Directive 91/414/EEC and Annex VI thereto. It is considered that a period of four years is sufficient to permit further uses of the active substance concerned. The provisional MRL should then become definitive.

               (8)

               It is therefore necessary to add or replace all of the MRLs arising from the use of these plant protection products to the Annexes to Directives 86/362/EEC, 86/363/EEC and 90/642/EEC to allow for proper surveillance and control of the prohibition of their uses and to protect the consumer. Where MRLs have already been defined in the Annexes to those Directives it is appropriate to modify them. Where MRLs have not been defined until now, it is appropriate to set them for the first time.

               (9)

               Glyphosate is used as ester or salt. In case of glyphosate trimesium salt, the residue of trimethylsulfonium cation is also of toxicological relevance. It is therefore necessary to set MRLs for that cation.

               (10)

               Provisions of Directive 76/895/EEC which set MRLs for chlorpropham should consequently be deleted.

               (11)

               Directives 76/895/EEC, 86/362/EEC, 86/363/EEC and 90/642/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (12)

               The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

         COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2005/48/EC
   of 23 August 2005
   amending Council Directives 86/362/EEC, 86/363/EEC and 90/642/EEC as regards maximum residue levels for certain pesticides in and on cereals and certain products of animal and plant origin
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
   Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
   Having regard to Council Directive 86/362/EEC of 24 July 1986 on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on cereals (1), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
   Having regard to Council Directive 86/363/EEC of 24 July 1986 on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on foodstuffs of animal origin (2), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
   Having regard to Council Directive 90/642/EEC of 27 November 1990 on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on certain products of plant origin, including fruit and vegetables (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
   Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (4), and in particular Article 4(1)(f) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               The following existing active substances have been included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC: iprodione by Commission Directive 2003/31/EC (5); propiconazole by Commission Directive 2003/70/EC (6) and molinate by Commission Directive 2003/81/EC (7).

               (2)

               The following new active substances have been included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC: mesotrione by Commission Directive 2003/68/EC (8) and silthiofam, picoxystrobin, flufenacet, iodosulfuron-methyl-sodium and fosthiazate by Commission Directive 2003/84/EC (9).

               (3)

               The inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of the active substances concerned was based on the assessment of the information submitted concerning the proposed use. Information relating to this use has been submitted by certain Member States in accordance with Article 4(1)(f) of that Directive. The information available has been reviewed and is sufficient to allow certain maximum residue levels (MRLs) to be fixed.

               (4)

               Where no Community MRL or provisional MRL exists, Member States are to establish a national provisional MRL in accordance with Article 4(1)(f) of Directive 91/414/EEC before plant protection products containing these active substances may be authorised.

               (5)

               Community MRLs and the levels recommended by the Codex Alimentarius are fixed and evaluated following similar procedures. There are a limited number of Codex MRLs for iprodione and propiconazole. There are already Community MRLs set out in 86/362/EEC, 86/363/EEC and 90/642/EEC for: iprodione (Council Directive 93/58/EEC) (10) and propiconazole (Council Directive 94/30/EC) (11). These have been taken into account in this Directive. Codex MRLs that will be recommended for withdrawal in the near future were not taken into account. The MRLs based on Codex MRLs having been evaluated in the light of the risks for the consumers. No risk was established when using the toxicological end points based on the studies available to the Commission.

               (6)

               With respect to the inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of the active substances concerned, the related technical and scientific evaluations were finalised in the form of Commission review reports. The assessment reports for those substances mentioned were finalised on the dates as mentioned in the Commission Directives cited in Recitals 1 and 2. These reports fixed the Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) and if necessary, the Acute Reference Dose (ARfD) for the substances concerned. The exposure of consumers of food products treated with the active substance concerned has been assessed and evaluated in accordance with Community procedures. Account has also been taken of guidelines published by the World Health Organisation (12) and the opinion of the Scientific Committee for Plants (13) on the methodology employed. It has been concluded that MRLs proposed will not lead to those ADIs or ARfD being exceeded.

               (7)

               In order to ensure that the consumer is adequately protected from exposure to residues resulting from unauthorised uses of plant protection products, provisional MRLs should be set for the relevant product/pesticide combinations at the lower limit of analytical determination.

               (8)

               The setting at Community level of such provisional MRLs does not prevent the Member States from establishing provisional MRLs for the substances concerned in accordance with Article 4(1)(f) of Directive 91/414/EEC and Annex VI to that Directive. It is considered that a period of four years is sufficient to permit the development of further uses of the active substance concerned. The provisional MRL should then become definitive.

               (9)

               It is therefore necessary to modify the MRLs set out in the Annexes to Directives 86/362/EEC, 86/363/EEC and 90/642/EEC, to allow for proper surveillance and control of the prohibition of their uses and to protect the consumer. Where MRLs have already been defined in the Annexes to those Directives, it is appropriate to amend them. Where MRLs have not already been defined, it is appropriate to set them for the first time.

               (10)

               Directives 86/362/EEC, 86/363/EEC and 90/642/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (11)

               The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

      (3)  In the case of foodstuffs with a fat content of 10 % or less by weight, the residue is related to the total weight of the boned foodstuff. In such cases, the maximum level is one-tenth of the value related to fat content, but must be no less than 0,01 mg/kg.

      (4)  In determining the residues in raw cow's milk and whole cream cow's milk, a fat content of 4 % by weight should be taken as a basis. For raw milk and whole cream milk of another animal origin the residues are expressed on the basis of the fat.
   For the other foodstuffs listed in Annex I under heading Nos 0401, 0402, 0405 00, and 0406:

               —

               with a fat content of less than 2 % by weight, the maximum level is taken as half that set for raw milk and whole cream milk,

               —

               with a fat content of 2 % or more by weight, the maximum level is expressed in mg/kg of fat.
               In such cases, the maximum level is 25 times that set for raw milk and whole cream milk.

      (5)  For eggs and egg products with a fat content higher than 10 %, the maximum level is expressed in mg/kg fat. In this case, the maximum level is 10 times higher than the maximum level for fresh eggs.

      (6)  Footnotes (1), (2) and (3) do not apply in cases where the lower limit of analytical determination is indicated.

         COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2005/46/EC
   of 8 July 2005
   amending the Annexes to Council Directives 86/362/EEC, 86/363/EEC and 90/642/EEC as regards maximum residue levels for amitraz
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
   Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
   Having regard to Council Directive 86/362/EEC of 24 July 1986 on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on cereals (1) and in particular Article 10 thereof,
   Having regard to Council Directive 86/363/EEC of 24 July 1986 on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on foodstuffs of animal origin (2) and in particular Article 10 thereof,
   Having regard to Council Directive 90/642/EEC of 27 November 1990 on fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on certain products of plant origin including fruit and vegetables (3) and in particular Article 7 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               For the existing active substance amitraz a decision was taken not to include it in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC (4) by Commission Decision 2004/141/EC (5). This Decision provides that plant protection products containing this active substance shall no longer be authorised for use in the Community except for a limited number of uses, where at the moment no alternatives are available (essential uses).

               (2)

               Decision 2004/141/EC allowed a phasing out period, and it is appropriate that maximum residue levels (MRLs) premised on the notion that use of the substance concerned is not authorised in the Community, should not apply until the end of the phasing out period applying to that substance.

               (3)

               For amitraz MRLs for residues resulting from veterinary medicinal uses have been set on animal products in the framework of Council Regulation (EC) No 2377/90 (6). It is appropriate to take these into account in this Directive.

               (4)

               Community MRLs and the levels recommended by the Codex Alimentarius (7) are fixed and evaluated following similar procedures. There are a limited number of Codex MRLs for amitraz. These have been considered in the setting of the MRLs fixed in this Directive. Codex MRLs that will be recommended for withdrawal in the near future were not taken into account. The MRLs based on Codex MRLs having been evaluated in the light of the risks for the consumers, no risk was established.

               (5)

               In order to ensure that the consumer is adequately protected from exposure to residues resulting from unauthorised uses of plant protection products, MRLs should be set for the relevant product/pesticide combinations at the lower limit of analytical determination.

               (6)

               It is therefore necessary to amend several of the pesticide residues arising from use of amitraz in the Annexes to Directives 86/362/EEC, 86/363/EEC and 90/642/EEC to allow for proper surveillance and control of the prohibition of their uses and to protect the consumer.

               (7)

               The relevant annexes to Directives 86/362/EEC, 86/363/EEC and 90/642/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (8)

               The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
