Whereas:

(1) |
The maximum residue limit (hereinafter ‘MRL’) for pharmacologically active substances intended for use in the Union in veterinary medicinal products for food-producing animals or in biocidal products used in animal husbandry is to be established in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 470/2009. |
|
(2) |
Pharmacologically active substances and their classification regarding MRLs in foodstuffs of animal origin are set out in the Annex to Commission Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 (2). |

|
(4) |
An application for the amendment of the existing entry for lasalocid has been submitted to the European Medicines Agency. |
|
