Council as regards maximum residue levels for fluxapyro xad, hymex azol, metamitron, penf lufen 
and spirotetramat 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 fluxap yroxad, hymexazol, metamitron and spirote tramat maximum residue levels (MRLs) were set in Part A of 
Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. For penf lufen no MRLs were set in Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, and 
as this active substance is not included in Annex IV to that Regulation, the default value of 0,01 mg/kg laid down in 
Article 18(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 applies.
(2) For fluxap yroxad the European Food Safety Author ity (‘the Auth ority’), submitted a reasoned opinion on the review 
of the existing MRLs in accordance with Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 (2). For some products, it 
recommended raising or keeping the existing MRLs. The MRLs for those products should be set in Annex II to 
Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 at the level identif ied by the Author ity. The Author ity concluded that concer ning the 
MRLs for root and tuber vegeta bles, bulb vegetables, brassica vegetables, leaf veget ables, herbs and edible flowers, 
cardoons, celer ies, Florence fennels, globe artichok es, leeks, rhubarbs, pulses, cereals, herbal infusions from leav es 
and herbs, herbal infusions from roots and sugar plants some information was not available and that further 
consideration by risk manag ers was required. As there is no risk for consumers, the MRLs for those products should 
be set in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 at the level identified by the Auth ority. All of these MRLs will be 
reviewed; the review will take into account the information available within two years from the publication of this 
Regulation.
(3) For hymexazol the Author ity submitt ed a reasoned opinion on the review of the existing MRLs in accordance with 
Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 (3). It recommended lowering the MRL for sugar beet roots. As there 
is no risk for consumers, this MRL should be set in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 at the level identif ied 
by the Auth ority.
(4) For metamitron the Authority submitted a reasoned opinion on the review of the existing MRLs in accordance with 
Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 (4). It recommended lower ing the existing MRLs for apples, pears, 
beetroots, carrots, horseradishes, parsnips, parsley roots/Hamburg roots parsley , turnips, onions and suga r beet 
roots. The MRLs for those products should be set in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 at the level identif ied 
by the Authority. The Author ity concluded that concer ning the MRLs for strawberr ies, Roman rock et/rucola, baby 
leaf crops (including brassica species), spinaches and similar leaves, herbal infusions from leav es and herbs, herbal

by risk managers was required. As there is no risk for consumers, the MRLs for those products also should be set in 
Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 at the level identified by the Authority. All of these MRLs will be reviewed; 
the review will take into account the information available within two years from the publication of this Regulation.
(5) For penf lufen the Author ity submitted a reasoned opinion on the review of the existing MRLs in accordance with 
Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 (5). It recommended keeping the existing MRL for potatoes. This 
MRL should be set in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 at the level identif ied by the Author ity.
(6) For spirotet ramat the Authority submitted a reasoned opinion on the review of the existing MRLs in accordance with 
Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 (6). It proposed to change the residue definition. It recommended 
lowering the existing MRLs for citrus fruits, pome fruits, strawber ries, table olives, kiwi, avocados, bananas, granat e 
apples/pomegranates, pineapples, other root and tuber vegetables excep t sugar beets, garlic, shallots, Solanaceae 
and Malvaceae, witloofs/Belgian endives, olives for oil production and chicor y roots. For other products, it 
recommended raising or keeping the existing MRLs. The MRLs for those products should be set in Annex II to 
Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 at the level identif ied by the Author ity. The Author ity concluded that concer ning the 
MRLs for Brussels sprouts and kohlrabies 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 those products should also be set in Annex II 
to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 at the level identified by the Auth ority. All of these MRLs will be reviewed; the 
review will take into account the information available within two years from the publication of this Regulation.
(7) Existing Codex maximum residue limits (CXLs) were taken into account in the reasoned opinions of the Author ity. 
CXLs, which are safe for consumers in the Union were considered for MRL setting.
(8) As regar ds products on which the use of the plant protection product concer ned is not author ised, and for whic h no 
imp ort tolerances or CXLs exist, MRLs should be set at the specific limit of deter mination (LOD) or the default MRL 
should apply , as provided for in Article 18(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.
(9) The Commission consulted the European Union reference laboratori es for residues of pesticides as regards the need 
to adap t certain LODs. As rega rds all substances concer ned by this regulation, those laboratori es concluded that for 
certain commodities technical development requires the setting of specific LODs.
(10) In the context of a procedure for the author isation of the use of a plant protection product containing the active 
substance spirotetramat on ‘other small fruits and berries’, an application was submitted in accordance with Article 
6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 for modific ation of the existing MRLs. In accordance with Article 8 of 
Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, this application was evaluated by German y and the evaluation repor t was forwarded 
to the Auth ority and to the Commission. The Authority assessed the evaluation repor t and gave a reasoned 
opinion (7)on the proposed MRLs. It recommended raising the existing MRLs for those products. The MRLs for 
those products should be set in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 at the level identified by the Author ity.

(7)Reasoned opinion on the modification of the existing maximum residue levels for spirotetramat in small fruits and berries. EFSA 
Journal 2019;17(11):5904.EN Offi cial Jour nal of the European Union L 133/10                                                                                                                                         20.4.2021  (11) In accordance with Article 6(2) and (4) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 applications for import tolerances were 
submitted for fluxap yroxad used in the United State s on ‘other root and tuber vegeta bles excep t sugar beets ’and 
Brazil on coffe e beans. The applicants claim that the author ised uses of that substance on such crops in those 
countr ies lead to residues excee ding the MRL contained in Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 and that a higher MRL are 
necessar y to avoid trade barriers for the importation of those crops. In accordance with Article 8 of Regulation (EC) 
No 396/2005, those applications were evaluated by the Member States concer ned and the evaluation repor ts were 
forwarded to the Author ity and to the Commission. The Author ity assessed the applications and the evaluation 
repor ts, examining in particular the risks to the consumer and, where relevant, to animals and gave reasoned 
opinions on the proposed MRLs (8). It forwarded those opinions to the applicants, the Commission and the Member 
State s and made them available to the public.
(12) As regards all applications, the Author ity concluded that all requirements with respect to data were met and that the 
modifi cations to the MRLs requeste d by the applicants were acceptable with regar d to consumer safety on the basis 
of a consumer exposure assessment for 27 specifi c European consumer groups. It took into account the most 
recent information on the toxicological proper ties of the substances. Neither the lifetime exposure to these 
substances via consum ption of all food products that may contain them, nor the shor t-term exposure due to high 
consum ption of the relevant products showed that there is a risk that the accept able daily intak e or the acute 
referen ce dose is excee ded.
(13) Based on the reasoned opinions of the Author ity and taking into account the factors relevant to the matt er under 
consideration, the appropr iate modifications to the MRLs fulfil the requirements of Article 14(2) of Regulation (EC) 
No 396/2005.
(14) 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.
(15) Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 should theref ore be amended according ly.
(16) In order to allow for the normal marketing, processing and consump tion of products, this Regulation should 
provid e for a transitional arrange ment for products whic h have been produced before the modif ication of the MRLs 
and for which information shows that a high level of consumer protection is maintained.
(17) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before the modifi ed MRLs become applicable in order to permit 
Member States, third countr ies and food business operators to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements 
which will result from the modification of the MRLs.
(18) 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,
