COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2007/39/EC
of 26 June 2007
amending Annex II to Council Directive 90/642/EEC as regards maximum residue levels for diazinon
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
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 (1), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
The rapporteur Member State informed the Commission that it might be necessary to revise the MRLs for diazinon in Directive 90/642/EEC in the light of concerns about consumer intake. Proposals for the review of Community MRLs were submitted to the Commission. |
(2) |
Community MRLs and the levels recommended by the Codex Alimentarius are fixed and evaluated following similar procedures. There are a number Codex MRLs for diazinon. The Community MRLs based on Codex MRLs have also been evaluated by the rapporteur Member State in the light of the new information on the risk for the consumers. |
(3) |
The lifetime and short-term exposure of consumers to diazinon via food products has been reassessed and evaluated in accordance with Community procedures and practices, taking account of guidelines published by the World Health Organisation (2). On that basis, it is appropriate to fix new MRLs, which will ensure that there is no unacceptable consumer exposure. |
(4) |
Where relevant, the acute exposure of consumers to diazinon via each of the food products that may contain residues has been assessed and evaluated in accordance with Community procedures and practices, taking account of guidelines published by the World Health Organisation. It is concluded that the presence of pesticide residues at or below the new MRLs will not cause acute toxic effects. |
(5) |
It is therefore necessary to modify the MRLs set out in Annex II to Directive 90/642/EEC, to allow for proper surveillance and control of the prohibition of their uses and to protect the consumer. |
(6) |
Through the World Trade Organisation, the Community’s trading partners have been consulted about the new MRLs and their comments on these levels have been taken into account. |
(7) |
Annex II to Directive 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:
Article 1
Directive 90/642/EEC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.

When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
