amending Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council as 
regards maximum residue levels for abamectin in or on certain products 
(Text with EEA relevance) 
THE EUR OPEAN COMMISSION,
Havi ng regar d to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Havi ng regard to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 Febr uary 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 abamectin, maximum residue levels (MRLs) were set in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.
(2) Dur ing the review of those MRLs in accordance with Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the European Food 
Safety Author ity (‘the Auth ority’), identif ied in its reasoned opinion (2)some information as unavailab le for certain 
products. The available information was sufficient for the Author ity to propose MRLs that are safe for consumers 
and the data gaps were indicated in Annex II of that Regulation specifying the date by which the missing 
information was to be submitte d to the Author ity in suppor t of the proposed MRLs.
(3) The applicant submitted the missing data together with a request based on Article 6 of Regulation (EC) 
No 396/2005 to modify the existing MRLs for abamectin in certain products.
(4) In accordance with Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the application was evaluated by the Member State 
concer ned and the evaluation repor t was forwarded to the Commission.
(5) The Author ity assessed the application and the evaluation repor t, examining in particular risks to consumers and, 
where relevant, to animals.
(6) On 23 Januar y 2020 , the Authority published a reasoned opinion on the evaluation of the confir matory data 
submitted followi ng the MRL review under Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 and on the request to 
modify the existing maximum residue levels for abamectin in various commodities (3).
(7) For almonds, hazelnuts/cobnuts, walnuts, currants (black, red and whit e), gooseber ries (green, red and yellow), 
papa yas and witloofs/Belgian endives information concer ning residue trials was not submitted by the applicant. The 
Authority concluded that the data gap was thus not suffi ciently addressed and that risk manage rs may consider 
setting or keeping those MRLs at the limit of determination (LOD ). Theref ore, for these products, it is appropr iate to 
set the MRLs in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 at the LOD. It is theref ore appropr iate to amend the 
Annex II and to delet e the reference concer ning additional information from that Annex.

(2)European Food Safet y Autho rity; Reasoned opinion on the review of the existing maximum residue levels (MRLs) for abamectin 
according to Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. EFSA Jour nal 2014;12(9):3823.
(3)European Food Safet y Authority ; Reasoned opinion on evaluation of confir matory data follo wing the Article 12 MRL review and 
modification of the existing maximum residue levels for abamectin in various commodities. EFSA Jour nal 2020;18(1):5989.EN Offi cial Jour nal of the European Union 31.1.2023 L 27/7  (8) For quinces, medlars, loquats/Japanese medlars, the applicant proposed to derive an MRL based on an alternati ve 
Good Agricultural Practices (GAP). This use and the residue trials were already assessed in a previous reasoned 
opinion (4). The Authority concluded that the residue data were sufficient to suppor t lower MRL proposals for those 
products. Theref ore, for those products, MRLs in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 should be set at the level 
identif ied by the Auth ority.
(9) For celer y leaves, beans with pods and peas with pods, Auth ority concluded that residue data were sufficient to 
suppor t the MRL for those products. Theref ore, for these products, MRLs should be set in Annex II to Regulation 
(EC) No 396/2005 at the level requested by the applicant.
(10) In accordance with Article 6(2) and (4) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 applications for import tolerances were 
submitted for abamectin used in the United States on certain products.
(11) The applicant states that the author ised uses of abamectin on such crops in that countr y lead to residues excee ding 
the MRLs contained in Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 and that higher MRLs are necessar y to avoid trade barriers for 
the importation of those crops.
(12) In accordance with Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, those applications were evaluate d by the Member 
State concer ned and the evaluation repor t was forwarded to the Commission.
(13) The Auth ority assessed the applications and the evaluation repor t, examining in particular risks to consumers and, 
where relevant, to animals.
(14) On 10 July 2020 , the Author ity published a reasoned opinion on setting of import tolerances for abamectin in 
various crops (5).
(15) As regar ds modific ations to MRLs request ed by the applicant for avocados, cresses and other sprouts and shoot, land 
cresses, Roman rock et/rucola, baby leaf crops (including brassica species), other lettuces and salad plants, purslanes, 
Florence fennels and cotton seeds, the Auth ority concluded, that all requirements with respect to compl eteness of 
data submission were met and that the modifications to the MRLs requested by the applicant were acceptable with 
regard to consumer safety on the basis of a consumer exposure assessment for 27 specif ic European consumer 
groups. The Author ity took into account the most recent information on the toxicological proper ties of the 
substance. Neither the lifetime exposure to the substance via consump tion of all food products that may contain 
them, nor the shor t-term exposure due to high consump tion of the relevant products showed that there is a risk 
that the acceptab le daily intake or the acute reference dose is excee ded. Theref ore, for these products, MRLs should 
be set in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 at the level request ed by the applicant.
(16) In the cont ext of the procedure for the renewal of the approval of the active substance abamectin in accordance with 
Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6), the Author ity published a 
conclusion on the peer review of the risk assessment (7)of that active substance. The Author ity proposed, based on 
the developmental neuroto xicity studies, that a lower acceptable daily intak e (ADI) and acute reference dose (ARfD) 
should be established.
(17) On 3 Febr uary 2021 and in accordance with Article 43 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the Commission requeste d 
the Author ity to provid e a reasoned opinion assessing the risks on certain existing MRLs for abamectin that may 
pose to consumers in light of the lower ADI and ARfD.

maximum residues levels of concer n for abamectin (8).
(19) For apples, pears and escaroles/broad-leaved endives, the Author ity identif ied unaccept able risks concer ning the 
current MRLs. Member States were consult ed and request ed to repor t poten tial fall-back GAPs whic h would lead to 
safe MRLs for consumers. For apples and pears, a fall-back GAP could not proposed by the Member States. 
Suppor ting data was not available for the GAP repor ted for escaroles/broad-leav ed endives. Theref ore, no MRL 
could be derived for apples, pears and escaroles/broad-leaved endives. Theref ore, for these products, it is 
appropr iate to set the MRLs in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 at the LOD.
(20) For strawberr ies, tomat oes, cucumbers, courge ttes, lamb’s lettuces/cor n salads, lettuces, chervil and parsle y, the 
Authority identified unaccep table risks concer ning the current MRLs. Member States were consulte d and requeste d 
to repor t pote ntial fall-back GAPs which would lead to safe MRLs for consumers. Member States identif ied such 
GAPs for strawber ries, tomat oes, cucumbers, courg ettes, lamb’s lettuces/cor n salads, lettuces, chervil and parsley . 
The Auth ority theref ore recommended lowe ring the MRLs for those products. Theref ore, for these products, MRLs 
should be set in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 at the level identif ied by the Author ity.
(21) For sweet peppers/bell peppers, the Author ity identif ied unacceptable risks for consumers with the current MRLs. 
Member States were consulted and requested to repor t poten tial fall-bac k GAPs whic h would lead to safe MRLs for 
consumers. The Authority concluded that although Member State s identified a fall-bac k GAP for sweet peppers/bell 
peppers, some information was not available and that further consideration by risk manage rs was required. As there 
is no risk for consumers, the MRLs for sweet peppers/bell peppers should be set in Annex II to Regulation (EC) 
No 396/2005 at the level identif ied by the Author ity. This MRL will be reviewed; the review will take into account 
the information available within two years from the publication of this Regulation.
(22) The Commission consulte d the European Union referen ce laboratori es for residues of pesticides on the need to adap t 
certain LODs. For abamectin, those laborat ories proposed product specific LODs that are analytically feasible.
(23) Through the World Trade Org anisation, the trading partners of the Union were consulte d on the new MRLs and their 
comments have been taken into account.
(24) Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 should theref ore be amended according ly.
(25) In order to allow for the normal mark eting, processing and consump tion of products, this Regulation should not 
apply to products whic h have been produced in the Union or imported into the Union before the modified MRLs 
start applying and for which information shows that a high level of consumer protection is maintained. This is the 
case for all products excep t for apples, pears, strawberr ies, tomat oes, sweet peppers/bell peppers, cucumbers, 
courg ettes, lamb’s lettuces/cor n salads, lettuces, escaroles/broad-leaved endives, chervil and parsle y.
(26) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before the modified MRLs become applicable, in order to permit 
Member States, third countr ies and food business operat ors to adapt themselves to meet the new requirements 
which will result from the modification of the MRLs.
(27) The measures provid ed for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committ ee on 
Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
