NOTIFICATION  
Addendum  
The following communication, received on 12 April 2023, is being circulated at the request of the 
Delegation of  the European Union . 
 
_______________  
 
 
Maximum residue levels for bromopropylate, chloridazon, fenpropimorph, imazaquin and tralkoxydim 
in or on certain products  
The proposal notified in G/SPS/N/EU/527 (15 December 2021) is now adopted Commission Regulation 
(EU) 2023/710 of 30 March 2023 amending Annexes II, III and V to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of 
the European Parliament and of the Council as regards maximum residue levels for bromopropylate, 
chloridazon, fenpropimorph, imazaquin and tralkoxydim in or on certain products (Text with EEA 
relevance) [OJ L 93, 31 March 202 3, p. 57 –83]. 
The MRLs for the active substance bifenthrin, which was initially included in the draft Regulation 
notified in G/SPS/N/EU/527, will be reviewed in a separated Regulation taking into account a recent 
assessment from the European Food Safety Au thority (EFSA Journal 2023;21(3):7864). The proposal 
will be notified to the Committee on Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures.  
The MRLs for the active substance fenpropimorph for barley, oat, rye, wheat, sugar beet roots, all 
tissues from mammals and milk,  which were initially lowered to the limit of quantification in the draft 
Regulation notified in G/SPS/N/EU/527, are maintained at the level proposed by Codex Alimentarius 
in the adopted Commission Regulation (EU) 2023/710.  
The adopted Commission Regulatio n (EU) 2023/710 includes a provision to allow the marketing of 
products which have been produced in the Union or imported into the Union before the modified MRLs 
start applying.  
The Regulation shall apply from 21 October 2023.
