COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 212/2013  
of 11 March 2013  
replacing Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council 
as regards additions and modifications with respect to the products covered by that Annex  
(Text with EEA relevance)  
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,  
Having regard 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 February 2005 on 
maximum residue levels of pesticides in and on food and feed 
of plant and animal origin and amending Council Directive 
91/414/EEC (  1 ), and in particular Article 4 thereof,  
Whereas:  
(1) Several Member States have requested modifications and 
additions in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, in 
the column ‘Examples of related varieties or other 
products to which the same MRL applies’.  
(2) Those additions are necessary in order to include in 
Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 new fruits, 
vegetables and cereals which have become available on 
the market in the Member States.  
(3) It is appropriate to add the following fruits, vegetables, 
cereals and animal products: Buddha’s hand, tangor, red

climbing wattle, fungus mycelium, purple viper’s bugloss/ 
Canary flower, finger millet, pearl millet, Canary grass 
seeds, green pepper, deer and comb honey.  (4) For consistency it is appropriate to move wild game from 
the category ‘Other farm animals’ to ‘Other terrestrial 
animal products’, and edible flowers from the category 
‘others’ to a category representing an example of a crop.  
(5) In order to better apply rules on international taxo ­
nomical nomenclature it is appropriate to adapt the 
Latin names for pistachios, apples, cherries, strawberries, 
dewberries, blueberries, kumquats, potatoes, yams, 
beetroot, peppers, okra, broccoli, head cabbage, Chinese 
cabbage, kale, kohlrabi, scarole, rucola, leaves and sprouts 
of brassica, beet leaves, witloof, celery leaves, basil, palm 
hearts, sorghum, coffee beans, rose petals, jasmine 
flowers, lime (linden), rooibos leaves, dill, Sichuan 
pepper, cinnamon, turmeric, sugar beet and banana.  
(6) Taking into account requests from interested parties and 
enforcement bodies and in view of the form in which the 
products occur on the market, some amendments should 
be made as regards the parts of the products to which 
the MRLs are to apply.  
(7) It is appropriate to provide for such amendments as 
regards tea, cocoa beans, hops, kohlrabi and for  
products  of animal origin.  
(8) In the interest of clarity, it is appropriate to replace 
Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.  
(9) Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 should therefore be 
amended accordingly.  
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in 
accordance with the opinion of the Standing 
Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and 
neither the European Parliament nor the Council has 
opposed them,  
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
