(Text with EEA relevance) 
THE EUR OPEAN COMMISSION, 
Having regar d to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, 
Having 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 2-phenylphenol maximum residue levels (MRLs) were set in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. For 
dimethac hlor and lufenuron MRLs were set in Part A of Annex III to that Regulation. For bensulfuron-methy l 
MRLs were not yet set before. 
(2)  For 2-phenylphenol the European Food Safety Auth ority, hereinaf ter ‘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). 
It proposed to change the residue definition for plant products and recommended lowering the MRLs for muscle, 
fat, liver and kidne y from swine, bovine and equine, and for milk from cattle and horse. It concluded that 
concer ning the MRL for citrus, some information was not available and that further consideration by risk 
manag ers was required. As there is no risk for consumers, the MRL for this product should be set in Annex II to 
Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 at the existing level or the level identif ied by the Author ity. As regar ds the MRL for 
pears the Codex maximum residue limit is safe for consumers. It is theref ore appropr iate to set the MRL for pears 
at the same level. 
(3)  For bensulfuron-methy l the Author ity submitted a reasoned opinion on the existing MRLs in accordance with 
Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 (3). It recommended raising or keeping the existing MRLs. 
(4)  For dimethach lor the Author ity submitt ed a reasoned opinion on the existing MRLs in accordance with 
Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 (4). It recommended raising or keeping the existing MRLs. 
(5)  For lufenuron the Author ity submitted a reasoned opinion on the existing MRLs in accordance with Article 12(1) 
of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 (5). It proposed to chang e the residue definition for all products and 
recommended lowering the MRLs for citrus fruits, pome fruits, cherries sweet, plums, table grapes, wine grapes, 
figs, kaki/Japanese persimmons, kiwi fruits, potatoes , tomat oes, sweet peppers/bell peppers, cucumbers, 
courg ettes and soya bean. For other products it recommended raising or keeping the existing MRLs. It concluded 
that concer ning the MRLs for apricot, peac hes, strawber ries, gherkins, lamb's lettuces/cor n salads, lettuces, escaro ­
les/broad leav ed endives, cresses and other sprouts and shoots, land cresses, roman rock et/rucola, red mustards, 
baby leaf crops (including Brassica species), liver and kidne y from swine, bovine , sheep, goat, equine and 
poultr y liver , some information was not available and that further consideration by risk managers was required. 19.1.2018 L 14/6 Official Jour nal of the European Union EN

(3)European Food Safet y Author ity; Reasoned opinion on the review of the existing maximum residue levels for bensulfuron-methy l 
according to Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. EFSA Jour nal 2016;14(10):4596.

(5)European Food Safet y Author ity; Reasoned opinion on the review of the existing maximum residue levels for lufenu ron according to 
Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. EFSA Jour nal 2017;15(1):4652. 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 existing level or the level identif ied by the Auth ority. These MRLs will be reviewed; the 
review will take into account the information available within two years from the publication of this Regulation. 
(6)  As rega rds products on whic h the use of the plant prot ection product concer ned is not author ised, and for whic h 
no impor t tolerances or Codex maximum residue limits (CXLs) exist, MRLs should be set at the specifi c limit of 
determination or the defa ult MRL should apply , as provid ed for in Article 18(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) 
No 396/2005. 
(7)  The Commission consulted the European Union reference laborat ories for residues of pesticides as rega rds the 
need to adapt certain limits of determination. As regards several substances, those laboratories concluded that for 
certain commodities technical development requires the setting of specific limits of deter mination. 
(8)  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 modific ations to the MRLs fulfil the requirements of Article 14(2) of Regulation  
(EC) No 396/2005. 
(9)  Through the World Trade Organisation, the trading partners of the Union were consulted on the new MRLs and 
their comments have been take n into account. 
(10)  Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 should theref ore be amended according ly. 
(11)  In order to allow for the normal marketing, processing and consump tion of products, this Regulation should 
provid e for a transitional arrang ement for products whic h have been produced before the modifi cation of the 
MRLs and for which information shows that a high level of consumer prote ction is maintained. 
(12)  A reasonable period should be allowe d 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 
whic h will result from the modifi cation of the MRLs. 
(13)  The measures provi ded for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on 
Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
