amending Annexes II and V to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the 
Council as regards maximum residue levels for denato nium benzoate, diuron, etoxazole, methomyl 
and teflubenzuron 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), point (a), Article 18(1), point (b), and Article 49(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) For denaton ium benzoate, diuron, etoxazole, methomyl and teflubenzuron, maximum residue levels (‘MRLs’) were 
set in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.
(2) The appro val of the active substance denaton ium benzoate expired on 30 November 2020 (2)and no application for 
renewal of its approval had been submitted . All existing author isations for plant prote ction products containing that 
active substance have been revok ed. No Codex maximum residue limits (‘CXLs’ ) or import tolerances exist for that 
substance. The MRLs for denat onium benzoate on all products are set at the limit of deter mination (‘LOD’). It is 
theref ore appropr iate to delete the MRLs set out for this substance in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 in 
accordance with Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 in conjunction with Article 14(1), point (a), thereof. 
MRLs for denaton ium benzoate on all products should be set at the product specifi c LODs in Annex V to 
Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 in accordance with Article 18(1), point (b), of that Regulation.
(3) The approval of the active substance diuron expired on 30 Sept ember 2020 and no application for renewal of its 
approval had been submitted . All existing author isations for plant protection products containing that active 
substance have been revok ed. No CXLs or impor t tolerances exist for that substance. The MRLs for diuron on all 
products are currently set at the product specific LODs. It is theref ore appropr iate to delete the MRLs set out for this 
substance in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 in accordance with Article 17 of Regulation (EC) 
No 396/2005 in conjunction with Article 14(1), point (a), thereof. MRLs for diuron on all products should be set at 
the product specifi c LODs in Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 in accordance with Article 18(1), point (b), 
of that Regulation. Additionally , for the avoidance of doubt, the respective footnot es indicating lack of information 
on residue trials should be deleted.
(4) The appro val of the active substance etoxazole was renewed by Commission Implementing Regulation 
(EU) 2020/2105 (3)with a specifi c provis ion that only uses of plant prot ection products on ornamental plants in 
permanent greenhouses shall be author ised by Member States. All existing author isations for plant protection 
products containing that active substance for use on edible crops have been revok ed. In the context of the 
(1)OJ L 70, 16.3.2005, p. 1.
(2)Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1643 of 5 November 2020 amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 
as regar ds the approval periods of the active substances calcium phosphide, denathonium benzoat e, halo xyfop-P , imidaclopr id, 
pency curon and zeta-cyper methr in (OJ L 370, 6.11.2020, p. 18).
(3)Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2105 of 15 December 2020 renewing the approval of the active substance 
etoxazole as a candidate for substitution in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the 
Council concer ning the placing of plant prot ection products on the market, and amending the Annex to Commission Implementing 
Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 (OJ L 425, 16.12.2020, p. 96).EN Offi cial Jour nal of the European Union 18.9.2023 L 229/63  procedure for the renewal of approval of that active substance, the European Food Safety Author ity (‘the Auth ority’) 
published a conclusion (4)on the peer review explaining that, due to insufficient data, risks for human health from 
consum ption of edible crops treated with etoxazole could not be excl uded. Theref ore, existing MRLs based on CXLs 
cannot be conf irmed as being safe for consumers and cannot be maintained. It is theref ore appropr iate to delet e the 
MRLs set out for this substance in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 in accordance with Article 17 of 
Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 in conjunction with Article 14(1) point (a) thereof. MRLs for etoxazole on all 
products should be set at the product specifi c LODs in Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 in accordance 
with Article 18(1), point (b), of that Regulation. Additionally , for the avoidance of doubt, the footnote indicating 
lack of information on analytical methods should be delet ed.
(5) The approval of the active substance methom yl expired on 31 August 2019 as no application for renewal of its 
approval had been submitted . All existing author isations for plant protection products containing that active 
substance have been revok ed. The MRLs for methom yl on kumquats and gherkins were based on CXLs that the 
Authority had conf irmed are safe for consumers (5). Those MRLs should theref ore be maintained in Annex II to 
Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 at the existing levels in accordance with Article 14(2), point (e), of Regulation (EC) 
No 396/2005. The existing MRLs for methomyl on lettuces, beans (dry), soyabeans, cotton seeds, maize/cor n, and 
oat were based on CXLs, for which the Author ity concluded that they are not suffi ciently suppor ted by data as data 
is missing on metabolism of methom yl in leafy crops, pulses and oilseeds (6). Those MRLs should theref ore be 
lowered to product specific LODs in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. For all other products, for which 
the MRLs were based on uses in the EU whic h are no longer author ized, it is appropr iate to lower the MRLs to 
product specifi c LODs in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 in accordance with Article 17 of Regulation 
(EC) No 396/2005 in conjunction with Article 14(1) point (a) thereof. Additionally , for the avoidance of doubt, the 
footnot es indicating lack of information on residue trials and crop metabolism should be deleted.
(6) The approval of the active substance teflubenzuron expired on 30 November 2019 as no application for renewal of 
its approval had been submitted . The MRLs for teflubenzuron on grapefr uits and mandar ins are based on import 
tolerance requests from Brazil, whic h the Author ity had conf irmed as safe for consumers (7). The MRLs for 
teflubenzuron on orange s, lemons, limes, grapes, papa yas, tomat oes, cucumbers, gherkins, melons, sunf lowe r 
seeds, soyabeans, and coffee beans result from the implementation of CXLs, which the Author ity had conf irmed as 
safe for consumers (8). Those MRLs should theref ore be maintained in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 at 
the existing levels in accordance with Article 14(2), point (e), of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. For all other 
products, for which the MRLs were based on uses in the EU which are no long er author ized, it is appropr iate to 
lower the MRLs to product specifi c LODs in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 in accordance with 
Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 in conjunction with Article 14(1) point (a) thereof.
(7) The Commission consulted the European Union reference laboratori es for residues of pesticides as regards the need 
to adapt certain LODs. For all the active substances covered by this Regulation, those laboratories proposed product 
specifi c LODs that are analytically achi evable.
(8) 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.
(9) Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 should theref ore be amended according ly.

normal marketing, processing and consum ption of products, this Regulation should not apply to products, which 
have been produced in the Union or imported into the Union before the new MRLs become applicable and for 
which a high level of consumer protect ion is maintained.
