the Council as regards maximum residue levels for fluopyram; hexac hlorocy clohexan e (HCH ), 
alpha-isomer ; hexac hlorocy clohex ane (HCH ), beta-isomer ; hexac hlorocy clohexane (HCH), sum

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), Article 18(1)(b) and Article 49(2) thereof, 
Whereas: 
(1)  For fluop yram and nicotine maximum residue levels (MRLs) were set in Part A of Annex III to Regulation (EC) 
No 396/2005. For profenof os, hexac hlorocy clohexane (HCH) alpha-isomer; hexachlorocy clohexane (HCH) 
beta-isomer; hexachlorocy clohexane (HCH ), sum of isomers, exce pt the gamma isomer and lindane (hexachloro ­
cyclohexane (HCH ), gamma-isomer) MRLs were set in Annex II and Part B of Annex III to that Regulation. 
(2)  For fluop yram by Commission Regulation (EU) No 270/2012 (2) provisional MRLs were set for several products 
until 31 December 2013, pending the submission of further residue data. Commission Regulation (EU) 
No 1004/2013 (3) exte nded the validity of these MRLs until 19 October 2015, pending the evaluation of these 
data. Based on the reasoned opinion (4) of the European Food Safety Author ity, hereinaf ter ‘the Author ity’, it is 
appropr iate to reduce to the relevant limit of determination (LOD ) the provisional MRLs for solanacea, other 
fruiting vegetables, cardoons, celer ies, Florence fennels, other stem vegetables, cotton seeds, other oilseeds, 
common millet/prosomillet, other cereals, herbal infusions from any other parts of the plant, seed spices, carawa y 
and other sugar plants for all of whic h no data was submitted, and sweet corn for which residue trials in primar y 
and rotational crops show that residues are belo w the LOD. 14.6.2017 L 151/1 Official Jour nal of the European Union EN     
(1)OJ L 70, 16.3.2005, p. 1. 
(2)Commission Regulation (EU) No 270/2012 of 26 March 2012 amending Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the 
European Parliament and of the Council as regar ds maximum residue levels for amidosulfuron, azoxystrobin, bentazone, bixaf en, 
cyproconazole, fluop yram, imazapic, malathion, propiconazole and spinosad in or on certain products (OJ L 89, 27.3.2012, p. 5). 
(3)Commission Regulation (EU) No 1004/2013 of 15 October 2013 amending Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the 
European Parliament and of the Council as regards maximum residue levels for 8-hydro xyquinoline, cyproconazole, cyprodinil, 
fluop yram, nicotine, pendimethalin, penthiop yrad and trifloxystrobin in or on certain products (OJ L 279, 19.10.2013, p. 10). 
(4)Reasoned opinion on the modification of the existing maximum residue levels for fluop yram in various crops. EFSA 
Jour nal 2016;14(6):4520. (3) For hexachlor ocyclohexane (HCH) , alpha-isomer; hexachlorocy clohexane (HCH ), beta-isomer; hexachlorocy clo­
hexane (HCH), sum of isomers, excep t the gamma isomer and lindane (hexachlorocy clohexane (HCH ), gamma- 
isomer), the Author ity submitted monit oring data to the Commission showing that residues no long er occur at 
levels above the relevant MRL or LOD and that lower LODs were achi evable by newly available analytical 
methods also allowing to distinguish the differ ent isomers of hexachlorocy clohexane (HCH ). It is theref ore 
appropr iate to modify some of the existing MRLs and LODs for hexachlorocy clohexane (HCH), alpha-isomer; 
hexach lorocy clohexane (HCH), beta-isomer and lindane (hexachlor ocyclohexane (HCH) , gam ma-isomer) and 
delet e the MRLs for hexachlor ocyclohexane (HCH ), sum of isomers, excep t the gamma isomer . 
(4)  For nicotine by Commission Regulation (EU) No 401/2015 (1) provisional MRLs were set for rose hips, herbs and 
edible flowers, wild fungi, teas, herbal infusions and spices until 19 October 2016, pending the submission and 
evaluation of new data and information on the natural occur rence or formation of nicotine in the concer ned 
products. Scientific evidence is not conclusive to demonstrate that nicotine occurs naturally in the concer ned 
products and to elucidate the mech anism of formation. The Auth ority and food business operat ors submitted 
recent monitoring data showing that residues of this substance still occur in those products. It is theref ore 
appropr iate to continue to monitor the levels of nicotine in these products and to extend the validity of these 
MRLs until five years from the publication of this Regulation. 
(5)  For profen ofos by Commission Regulation (EU) No 1096/2014 (2) provisional MRLs were set for fresh herbs and 
herbal infusions, pending the submission of monitoring data on the occur rence of this substance in the 
concer ned products. The Authority and food business operators submitted recent monitori ng data showing that 
residues of this substance still occur in those products. It is theref ore appropr iate to continue to monitor the 
levels of profen ofos in these products and to exte nd the validity of these MRLs until five years from the 
publication of this Regulation. 
(6)  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. 
(7)  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. 
(8)  Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 should theref ore be amended according ly. 
(9)  In order to allow for the normal marketing, processing and consum ption of products, this Regulation should 
provide for a transitional arrangement for products whic h have been produced before the modification of the 
MRLs and for which information shows that a high level of consumer protection is maintained. 
(10)  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 
whic h will result from the modifi cation of the MRLs. 
(11)  The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committ ee on 
Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
