(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), Article 17, Article 18(1)(b) and Article 49(2) thereof, 
Whereas: 
(1)  For tricyclazole maximum residue levels (MRLs) were set in Part A of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. 
All MRLs, excep t the one for rice, are set at the limit of deter mination (LOD ). 
(2)  The non-inclusion of tricyclazole in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC was provided for in Commission Decision 
2008/770/EC. (2) Follo wing a new application in accordance with Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 
of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), this active substance was not appro ved by Commission 
Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1826 (4). All existing author isations for plant protection products containing 
the active substance tricyclazole have been revok ed. It is theref ore appropr iate to delete the MRL for rice set out 
for this substance in Annex III 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-appro val of the active substance tricyclazole, the MRLs for this substance should be set at the 
LOD in accordance with Article 18 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. For the active substances for whic h all 
MRLs should be reduced to the relevant LOD, default values should be liste d in Annex V in accordance with 
Article 18(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. 
(4)  The Commission consulted the European Union referen ce laboratori es as regards the need to adapt certain LODs. 
Those laborat ories concluded that for certain commodities technical development permits the setting of lower 
LODs. 
(5)  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. 
(6)  Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 should theref ore be amended according ly. 
(7)  In view of the long shelf life of rice, this Regulation should provide for a transitional arrangement for rice grown 
in 2016 or before, in order to allow for the normal mark eting, processing and consum ption of rice. However 
taking into account the uncer tainties regar ding certain proper ties of tricyclazole, the timelines foreseen in this 
Regulation do not allow for any treatment with tricyclazole in 2017 or thereaf ter. 
(8)  With a view of applying the same approach to Basmati rice, bear ing in mind that Basmati rice undergoes 
a specif ic procedure of maturation before it can be placed on the market, for such rice grown in 2016 or before 
an additional period of 6 months should be allowed to elapse before the modifi ed MRL for Basmati rice becomes 
applicable, in order to allow for the normal marketing, processing and consump tion of Basmati rice. 10.6.2017 L 148/27 Official Jour nal of the European Union EN
