COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) 2018/685
of 3 May 2018
amending Annexes II, III and IV to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards maximum residue levels for abamectin, beer, fluopyram, fluxapyroxad, maleic hydrazide, mustard seeds powder and tefluthrin 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 5(1) and Article 14(1)(a) thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
For abamectin and maleic hydrazide, maximum residue levels (MRLs) were set in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. For fluopyram, fluxapyroxad and tefluthrin, MRLs were set in Part A of Annex III to that Regulation. For beer and mustard seeds powder, no specific MRLs were set nor were those substances included in Annex IV to that Regulation, so the default value of 0,01 mg/kg laid down in Article 18(1)(b) thereof applies. |
|
(2) |
In the context of a procedure for the authorisation of the use of a plant protection product containing the active substance abamectin on bananas, an application was submitted in accordance with Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 for modification of the existing MRLs. |
|
(3) |
As regards fluopyram, such an application was submitted for purslanes. As regards fluxapyroxad, such an application was submitted for ‘tropical root and tuber vegetables’, ‘other root and tuber vegetables except sugar beets’, spring onions, ‘flowering brassica’, Brussels sprouts, head cabbages, ‘lettuces and salad plants’, ‘spinaches and similar leaves’, witloofs, ‘herbs and edible flowers’, globe artichokes, leeks, ‘herbal infusions from roots’, ‘root and rhizome spices’ and chicory roots. As regards tefluthrin, such an application was submitted for carrots. |
|
(4) |
In accordance with Article 6(2) and (4) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 an application was submitted for fluxapyroxad used on citrus fruits. The applicant claims that the authorised uses of that substance on such crops in Brazil lead to residues exceeding the MRLs contained in Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 and that higher MRLs are necessary to avoid trade barriers for the importation of those crops. |
|
(5) |
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. |
|
(6) |
The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) assessed the applications and the evaluation reports, examining in particular the risks to the consumer and, where relevant, to animals and gave reasoned opinions on the proposed MRLs (2). The Authority forwarded those opinions to the applicants, the Commission and the Member States and made them available to the public. |
|
(7) |
The Authority concluded in its reasoned opinions that, as regards the use of fluxapyroxad on citrus fruits, the submitted data were not sufficient to set a new MRL for the entire group. However, in accordance with the existing Union guidelines on extrapolation of MRLs, it is appropriate to set the MRL for grapefruits at the value of the existing MRL for oranges. The existing MRLs for citrus fruits should therefore be kept at the current values except for grapefruits for which the MRL should be increased to 0,3 mg/kg. |
|
(8) |
As regards all other applications, the Authority concluded that all requirements with respect to data were met and that the modifications to the MRLs requested by the applicants were acceptable with regard to consumer safety on the basis of a consumer exposure assessment for 27 specific European consumer groups. The Authority took into account the most recent information on the toxicological properties of the substances. Neither the lifetime exposure to these substances via consumption of all food products that may contain them, nor the short-term exposure due to high consumption of the relevant products showed that there is a risk that the acceptable daily intake or the acute reference dose is exceeded. |
|
(9) |
For maleic hydrazide, the Authority submitted a conclusion on the peer review of the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance (3). In that framework, it recommended increasing the MRLs for potatoes, garlic, shallots and milk. |
|
(10) |
Beer and mustard seeds powder are approved as basic substances by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/2090 (4) and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/2066 (5), respectively. The conditions of use of those substances are not expected to lead to the presence of residues in food or feed commodities that may pose a risk to the consumer. It is therefore appropriate to include those substances in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. |
|
(11) |
Based on the reasoned opinions and the conclusion of the Authority and taking into account the factors relevant to the matter under consideration, the appropriate modifications to the MRLs fulfil the requirements of Article 14(2) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. |
|
(12) |
Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly. |
|
(13) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Annexes II, III and IV to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) 2018/686
of 4 May 2018
amending Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards maximum residue levels for chlorpyrifos, chlorpyrifos-methyl and triclopyr 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 14(1)(a) and Article 49(2) thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
For chlorpyrifos and chlorpyrifos-methyl maximum residue levels (MRLs) were set in Annex II and Part B of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. For triclopyr MRLs were set in Part A of Annex III to that Regulation. |
|
(2) |
For chlorpyrifos, the European Food Safety Authority, hereinafter ‘the Authority’, submitted a reasoned opinion on the existing MRLs in accordance with Article 12(2) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 in conjunction with Article 12(1) thereof (2). The Authority identified a risk for consumers concerning the MRL for wine grapes. It is therefore appropriate to lower this MRL. It recommended lowering the MRLs for quinces, medlars, apricots, cherries, pumpkins, sweet corn, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, kales, kohlrabies, lettuces and salad plants, spinaches, legume vegetables, asparagus, globe artichokes, pulses, poppy seed, sunflower seed, rape seed, mustard seed, gold of pleasure seed, olive for oil production, buckwheat grain, millet grain, coffee beans and poultry (muscle, fat and liver). For other products, it recommended raising or keeping the existing MRLs. It concluded that concerning the MRLs for almonds, hazelnuts/cobnuts, pecans, walnuts, apples, pears, table grapes, beetroots, radishes, garlic, shallots, spring onions/green onions and Welsh onions, tomatoes, sweet peppers/bell peppers, aubergines/eggplants, Chinese cabbages/pe-tsai, lamb’s lettuces/corn salads, lettuces, escaroles/broad-leaved endives, Roman rocket/rucola, beans (with pods), beans (without pods), peas (with pods), peas (without pods), asparagus, globe artichokes, beans, peas, lupins/lupini beans, poppy seeds, sunflower seeds, rapeseeds/canola seeds, soyabeans, mustard seeds, cotton seeds, gold of pleasure seeds, olives for oil production, buckwheat and other pseudo-cereals, common millet/proso millet, teas, spices (seed, fruit, root and rhizome), swine (muscle and fat tissue), bovine (muscle and fat tissue), sheep (muscle and fat tissue), goat (muscle and fat tissue), poultry (muscle and fat tissue) and milk (cattle, sheep and goat), some information was not available and that further consideration by risk managers was required. As there is no risk for consumers, the MRLs for those products should be set in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 at the existing level or the level identified by the Authority. These MRLs will be reviewed; the review will take into account the information available within two years from the publication of this Regulation. |
|
(3) |
For chlorpyrifos-methyl, the Authority submitted a reasoned opinion on the existing MRLs in accordance with Article 12(2) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 in conjunction with Article 12(1) thereof (3). The Authority proposed to change the residue definition to the sum of chlorpyrifos-methyl and desmethyl chlorpyrifos-methyl for cereals. It recommended lowering the MRLs for strawberries, currants (black, red and white), kiwi, potatoes, maize/corn, rye, sorghum, wheat, swine (liver and kidney), bovine (liver and kidney), sheep (liver and kidney), goat (liver and kidney) and poultry (muscle, fat, liver and kidney). For other products, it recommended raising or keeping the existing MRLs. It concluded that concerning the MRLs for spices (seed, fruit, root and rhizome), barley, oat, rice, swine (meat, fat, liver and kidney), bovine (meat, fat, liver and kidney), sheep (meat, fat, liver and kidney), goat (meat, fat, liver and kidney), poultry (meat, fat, liver and kidney), milk (cattle, sheep and goat) and birds eggs, some information was not available and that further consideration by risk managers was required. As there is no risk for consumers, the MRLs for those products should be set in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 at the existing level or the level identified by the Authority. These MRLs will be reviewed; the review will take into account the information available within two years from the publication of this Regulation. Monitoring data shows that residues occur on untreated pulses, oilseeds and cereals at a level higher than the new limit of determination (LOD) identified by the Authority but lower than the existing LOD. Such residues result from a cross-contamination with crops lawfully treated with chlorpyrifos-methyl. As the assessment demonstrates that there is no unacceptable risk to consumers or animals at the existing LOD, the MRLs for these crops should be temporarily set at the level of the existing LOD. These MRLs will be reviewed; the review will take into account the information available within four years from the publication of this Regulation. |
|
(4) |
For triclopyr, the Authority submitted a reasoned opinion on the existing MRLs in accordance with Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 (4). The Authority recommended lowering the MRLs for apples, pears, apricots, peaches, rice grain, swine (muscle, fat, liver and kidney), bovine kidney, sheep kidney, goat kidney and milk (cattle, sheep and goat). For other products, it recommended raising or keeping the existing MRLs. It concluded that concerning the MRLs for grapefruits, oranges, lemons, mandarins, apples, pears, apricots, peaches and rice some information was not available and that further consideration by risk managers was required. As there is no risk for consumers, the MRLs for those products should be set in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 at the existing level or the level identified by the Authority. These MRLs will be reviewed; the review will take into account the information available within two years from the publication of this Regulation. |
|
(5) |
As regards products on which the use of the plant protection product concerned is not authorised, and for which no import tolerances or Codex maximum residue limits (CXLs) exist, MRLs should be set at the specific limit of determination or the default MRL should apply, as provided for in Article 18(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. |
|
(6) |
The Commission consulted the European Union reference laboratories for residues of pesticides as regards the need to adapt certain limits of determination. As regards several substances, those laboratories concluded that for certain commodities technical development requires the setting of specific limits of determination. |
|
(7) |
Based on the reasoned opinions of the Authority and taking into account the factors relevant to the matter under consideration, the appropriate modifications to the MRLs fulfil the requirements of Article 14(2) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. |
|
(8) |
Through the World Trade Organisation, the trading partners of the Union were consulted on the new MRLs and their comments have been taken into account. |
|
(9) |
Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly. |

In order to allow for the normal marketing, processing and consumption of products, this Regulation should provide for a transitional arrangement for products which have been produced before the modification of the MRLs and for which information shows that a high level of consumer protection is maintained. Because a risk to consumers cannot be excluded at the current MRL, the value for chlorpyrifos of 0,01 mg/kg for wine grapes should apply from the date of application of this Regulation. |
|
(11) |
A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before the modified MRLs become applicable in order to permit Member States, third countries and food business operators to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements which will result from the modification of the MRLs. |

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) 2018/687
of 4 May 2018
amending Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards maximum residue levels for acibenzolar-S-methyl, benzovindiflupyr, bifenthrin, bixafen, chlorantraniliprole, deltamethrin, flonicamid, fluazifop-P, isofetamid, metrafenone, pendimethalin and teflubenzuron 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 14(1)(a) thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
On 1 July 2016 the Codex Alimentarius Commission adopted Codex maximum residue limits (CXLs) for bifenthrin (2). On 22 July 2017 the Codex Alimentarius Commission adopted CXLs for acibenzolar-S-methyl, benzovindiflupyr, bixafen, buprofezin, chlorantraniliprole, deltamethrin, dimethomorph, fipronil, flonicamid, fluazifop-P, fluensulfone, flupyradifurone, imazethapyr, isofetamid, methoprene, metrafenone, oxathiapiprolin, pendimethalin, penthiopyrad, pinoxaden, saflufenacil, spiromesifen, teflubenzuron and tolfenpyrad (3). |
|
(2) |
Maximum residue levels (MRLs) were set for those substances in Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, except for fluensulfone for which no specific MRLs were set nor was that substance included in Annex IV to that Regulation, so the default value of 0,01 mg/kg laid down in Article 18(1)(b) thereof applies. |
|
(3) |
In accordance with Article 5(3) of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4), where international standards exist or their completion is imminent, they are to be taken into consideration in the development or adaptation of food law, except where such standards or relevant parts would be an ineffective or inappropriate means for the fulfilment of the legitimate objectives of food law or where there is a scientific justification, or where they would result in a different level of protection from the one determined as appropriate in the Union. Moreover, in accordance with point (e) of Article 13 of that Regulation, the Union is to promote consistency between international technical standards and food law while ensuring that the high level of protection adopted in the Union is not reduced. |
|
(4) |
The Union presented a reservation to the Codex Committee on Pesticides Residues on the CXLs proposed for the following pesticide/product combinations: acibenzolar-S-methyl (brassica vegetables; cucurbits; citrus fruits; kiwi fruit); benzovindiflupyr (cucurbits; mammalian meat); bixafen (mammalian meat); buprofezin (all products); chlorantraniliprole (poultry meat); fipronil (all products); flonicamid (products of plant origin); fluazifop-P (head cabbages; tomato; beans; peas (without pods); carrot; potato; swede; turnip; sunflower seed; mammalian meat, fats and edible offal; milks; poultry meat, fats and edible offal; eggs); fluensulfone (all products); flupyradifurone (all products); imazethapyr (all products); isofetamid (animal products); methoprene (all products); oxathiapiprolin (all products); pendimethalin (brassica leafy vegetables, except kale; mammalian meat; poultry meat; spring onions and Welsh onions); pinoxaden (all products); saflufenacil (all products); spiromesifen (all products). |
|
(5) |
The CXLs for acibenzolar-S-methyl, benzovindiflupyr, bifenthrin, bixafen, chlorantraniliprole, deltamethrin, flonicamid, fluazifop-P, isofetamid, metrafenone, pendimethalin and teflubenzuron, which are not listed in recital 4, should therefore be included in Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 as MRLs except where they relate to products which are not referred to in Annex I to that Regulation or where they are at a lower level than the current MRLs. Those CXLs are safe for consumers in the Union (5). |
|
(6) |
In the context of a procedure for the authorisation of the use of a plant protection product containing the active substance acibenzolar-S-methyl on kiwi fruits, an application was submitted in accordance with Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 for modification of the existing MRL. |
|
(7) |
In accordance with Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, that application was evaluated by the Member State concerned and the evaluation report was forwarded to the Commission. |
|
(8) |
The European Food Safety Authority, hereinafter ‘the Authority’, assessed the application and the evaluation report, examining in particular the risks to the consumer and, where relevant, to animals and gave a reasoned opinion on the proposed MRL (6). It forwarded that opinion to the Commission and the Member States and made it available to the public. |
|
(9) |
The Authority concluded in its reasoned opinion that all requirements with respect to data were met and that the modification to the MRL requested by the applicant was acceptable with regard to consumer safety on the basis of a consumer exposure assessment for 27 specific European consumer groups. It took into account the most recent information on the toxicological properties of the substance. Neither the lifetime exposure to this substance via consumption of all food products that may contain it, nor the short-term exposure due to high consumption of the relevant product showed that there is a risk that the acceptable daily intake or the acute reference dose is exceeded. |
|
(10) |
Based on the reasoned opinions of the Authority and taking into account the factors relevant to the matter under consideration, the appropriate modifications to the MRLs fulfil the requirements of Article 14(2) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. |
|
(11) |
Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly. |
|
(12) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
