Article 14(1)(a)  and Article 18(1)(b) , 
Whereas:

(2) Following an application for renewal of approval in accordance with Article  7(1) of 
Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council2, the 
approval of  active substance was not renewed  by Commission Implementing 
Regulation (EU)  2017/20913, which stipulates that al l existing authorisations for plant 
protection products containing th at active substance are to be withdrawn  by 
5 June 2018 . It is t herefore appropriate to delete the MRL s set out for this substance in 
Annex II in accordance with Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No  396/2005 in 
conjunction with Article  14(1)(a) thereof.  
(3) In view of the non -approval of the active substance iprodione , the MRL s for this 
substance should be set at the  limit of determination (LOD)  in accordance with Article 
18 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.  For the active substances for which all MRLs 
should be reduced to the relevant LOD, default values should be listed in Annex  V in 
accordance with Article  18(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No  396/2005.  
(4) The Commission consulted the European Union reference laboratories as regards the 
need to adapt certain LODs.  Those laboratories concluded that for certain commodities 
technical  development permits the setting of lower LODs.
