For Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain AH2, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain IT-45 and Purpureocillium lilacinum strain PL11, no specific maximum residue levels (‘MRLs’) have been set. Therefore, the default value of 0,01 mg/kg laid down in Article 18(1), point (b), of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 applies.

Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/1455 (2) approved the low-risk active substance Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain AH2. During the peer-review of the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), the European Food Safety Authority (‘Authority’) concluded (4), as regards the dietary risk assessment for consumers, some information was not available and further consideration by risk managers was required. As set out in the review report for that substance (5) in the context of the risk assessment of the active substance under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain AH2 is not pathogenic to humans, is not expected to produce toxins that are relevant for human health and the risk to humans through metabolites is negligible. Taking into account the peer review of the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain AH2, the review report and Article 5 and Article 14(2), point (a), (c) and (d), of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, there is no need to establish MRLs for this substance and it is therefore appropriate to include Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain AH2 in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.

Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/159 (6) approved the low-risk active substance Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain IT-45. During the peer-review of the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the Authority concluded (7), as regards the dietary risk assessment for consumers some information was not available and further consideration by risk managers was required. As set out in the review report for that substance (8), in the context of the risk assessment of the active substance under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain IT-45 is not pathogenic to humans, is not expected to produce toxins that are relevant for human health and the risk to humans through metabolites is negligible. Taking into account the peer review of the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain IT-45, the review report and Article 5 and Article 14(2), point (a), (c) and (d), of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, there is no need to establish MRLs for this substance and it is therefore appropriate to include Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain IT-45 in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.

Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/4 (9) approved the low-risk active substance Purpureocillium lilacinum strain PL11. During the peer-review of the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 the Authority concluded (10), as regards the dietary risk assessment for consumers some information was not available and further consideration by risk managers was required. As set out in the review report for that substance (11), in the context of the risk assessment of the active substance under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 Purpureocillium lilacinum strain PL11 is not pathogenic to humans and the risk to humans through metabolites is negligible. Taking into account the peer review of the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance Purpureocillium lilacinum strain PL11, the review report and Article 5 and Article 14(2), point (a), (c) and (d), of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, there is no need to establish MRLs for this substance and it is therefore appropriate to include Purpureocillium lilacinum strain PL11 in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.

Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly.
