COMMISSION REGUL ATION (EU) 2017/1135 
of 23 June 2017 
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 dimethoate and omethoate in or on certain 
products 
(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 dimethoate (sum of dimethoat e and omethoat e expressed as dimethoate), maximum residue levels (MRLs) 
were set in Annex II and Part B of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. 
(2)  On 22 Apr il 2016 France informed the Commission of a national emergency measure taken in accordance with 
Article 54 of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) suspending the 
imports and placing on the mark et in France of fresh cherries from other Member State s of the European Union 
or from third countr ies, in whic h the use of plant prot ection products containing the active substance dimethoat e 
is allowed for the treatment of cherry trees. In accordance with Article 54(2) of that Regulation, on 28 Apr il 
2016, during a meeting of the Standing Committ ee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed, it was agreed that an 
MRL review should be prioritised, in order to establish new MRLs, based on a scientifi c review carried out by the 
European Food Safety Author ity, hereinaf ter ‘the Author ity’. Theref ore in accordance with Article 43 of 
Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the Commission request ed the Auth ority to carry out such a prioritised review of 
the existing MRLs for dimethoat e and omethoate. The Author ity submitted its reasoned opinion on 28 November 
2016 (3). 
(3)  The Author ity proposed to change the residue definit ion of ‘sum of dimethoate and omethoat e expressed as 
dimethoat e’ to the separate residue definit ions ‘dimethoate’ and ‘omethoat e’ and concluded that the MRLs for 
melons and sugar beet roots may raise concer ns of consumer prot ection. The Auth ority theref ore recommended 
lowering the existing MRLs for these commodities. It concluded that concer ning the MRLs for witloof no 
information was available and that further consideration by risk manag ers was required. Theref ore the MRLs for 
this product should be set at the specifi c limit of deter mination. The Auth ority concluded that concer ning the 
MRLs for Chinese cabbages no information was available on good agricultural practices that are safe for 
consumers and that further consideration by risk manag ers was required. Theref ore the MRLs for this product 
should be set at the specifi c limit of deter mination. It concluded that concer ning the MRLs for grapefr uits, 
orang es, lemons, limes, mandar ins, cherries, table olives, beetroots, carrots, celer iacs, horseradishes, parsnips, 
parsle y roots, radishes, salsifi es, swedes, turnips, garlic, onions, shallots, spring onions, tomat oes, aubergines, 
pumpkin s, wate rmelons, broccoli, caulif lowers, Brussels sprouts, head cabbages, lettuces, asparagus, peas, olives 
for oil production, barley grains, oat grains, rye grains, wheat grains, suga r beet roots and chicor y roots 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 be set in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 at the 
existing level or the level identif ied by the Author ity. These MRLs will be reviewed; the review will take into 
account the information available within 2 years from the publication of this Regulation. 27.6.2017 L 164/28 Official Jour nal of the European Union EN     
(1)OJ L 70, 16.3.2005, p. 1. 
(2)Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 Januar y 2002 laying down the general principles and 
requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Autho rity and laying down procedures in matters of food safety  
(OJ L 31, 1.2.2002, p. 1). 
(3)Reasoned opinion on the the prioritised review of the existing maximum residue levels for dimethoate and omethoate according to 
Article 43 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. EFSA Journal 2016;14(11):4647, 50 pp. (4)  The Commission consulted the European Union reference laborat ories for residues of pesticides as rega rds the 
need to adapt certain limits of determination. Those laborat ories concluded that for certain commodities 
technical development requires the setting of specific limits of determination. 
(5)  Based on the reasoned opinion of the Auth ority and taking into account the factors relevant to the matter under 
consideration, the appropr iate modific ations to the MRLs fulfil the requirements of Article 14(2) of Regulation  
(EC) No 396/2005. 
(6)  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. 
(7)  Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 should theref ore be amended according ly. 
(8)  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. Because a risk to 
consumers cannot be excluded at the current MRL, the values for dimethoat e and omethoate of 0,01 mg/kg for 
melons should apply to all products from the date of application of this Regulation. 
(9)  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. 
(10)  The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committ ee on 
Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
