(Text with EEA relevance) 
THE EUR OPEAN COMMISSION,
Havi ng regar d to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Havi ng 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 amisulbrom, flubendiamide, mept yldinocap and metaf lumizone, maximum residue levels (MRLs) were set in 
Part A of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. For propineb, MRLs were set in Annex II and Part B of Annex 
III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.
(2) For amisulbrom the European Food Safety Auth ority (‘the Author ity’), submitte d a reasoned opinion on the existing 
MRLs in accordance with Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 (2). It recommended keeping the existing 
MRLs. As there is no risk for consumers, MRLs should be set in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 at the 
existing level or the level identified by the Author ity.
(3) For flubendiamide the Auth ority submitte d a reasoned opinion on the existing MRLs in accordance with Article 
12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 (3). It identif ied a risk for consumers concer ning the MRLs for head cabbag es 
and lettuces. It is theref ore appropr iate to lower these MRLs in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 to the limit 
of deter mination (LOD ). For other products, the Author ity recommended raising or keeping the existing MRLs. 
Those MRLs should be set in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 at the existing level or the level identified by 
the Authority.
(4) For meptyldinocap the Auth ority submitted a reasoned opinion on the existing MRLs in accordance with Article 
12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 (4). It recommended lowering the MRLs for cucumbers and courge ttes. For 
other products, it recommended raising or keep ing the existing MRLs. The Authority concluded that concer ning the 
MRLs for table grapes, wine grapes, strawberr ies, melons and waterm elons some information was not available and 
that further consideration by risk managers was required. As there is no risk for consumers, those MRLs should be 
set in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 at the existing level or the level identified by the Author ity. These 
MRLs will be reviewed; the review will take into account the information available within two years from the 
publication of this Regulation.

12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 (5). It identif ied a risk for consumers concer ning the MRLs for broccoli and 
escaroles/broad-leav ed endives. It is theref ore appropr iate to lowe r these MRLs in Annex II to Regulation (EC) 
No 396/2005 to the LOD. The Auth ority recommended lowering the MRLs for potatoes, head cabbag es, cotton 
seeds and milk (cattle, sheep, goat, horse). For other products, it recommended raising or keeping the existing 
MRLs. The Author ity concluded that concer ning the MRLs for tomat oes, sweet peppers/bell peppers, gherkins, 
caulif lowers, Chinese cabbag es/pe-tsai, lamb’s lettuces/cor n salads, lettuces, cresses and other sprouts and shoots, 
land cresses, Roman rock et/rucola, red mustards and baby leaf crops (including brassica species) some information 
was not available and that further consideration by risk managers was required. As there is no risk for consumers, 
those MRLs should be set in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 at the existing level or the level identified by 
the Auth ority. These MRLs will be reviewed; the review will take into account the information available within two 
years from the publication of this Regulation.
(6) For propineb the Author ity submitt ed a reasoned opinion on the existing MRLs in accordance with Article 12(1) of 
Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 (6). It proposed to change the residue definit ion. As propineb is no long er appro ved in 
the EU and all author isations for this substance have been revok ed, MRLs for that active substance should be set in 
Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 to the LOD.
(7) As regar ds products on which the use of the plant protection product concer ned is not author ised, and for whic h no 
imp ort tolerances or Codex maximum residue limits (CXLs) exist, MRLs should be set at the specific LOD or the 
default MRL should apply , as provi ded for in Article 18(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.
(8) The Commission consulted the European Union reference laboratori es for residues of pesticides as regards the need 
to adapt certain limits of deter mination. As regards several substances, those laboratori es concluded that for certain 
commodities technical development requires the setting of specific limits of determination.
(9) 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 modifications to the MRLs fulfil the requirements of Article 14(2) of Regulation (EC) 
No 396/2005.
(10) Through the World Trade Org anisation, the trading partners of the Union were consulte d on the new MRLs and their 
comments have been taken into account.
(11) Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 should theref ore be amended according ly.
(12) In order to allow for the normal marketing, processing and consump tion of products, this Regulation should 
provid e for a transitional period for products which have been produced before the modification of the MRLs and 
for which information shows that a high level of consumer prote ction is maintained.
(13) 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 
which will result from the modification of the MRLs.
(14) The measures provid ed for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committ ee on

Propineb and its reaction products that are cleav ed to propane-1,2-diamine (PD A), expr essed as PDA (R)
(R) = The residue definition differs for the follo wing combinations pesticide-code number:
Propineb - code 1000000 excep t 1020000 and 1040000: Prop ylenethiurea (PTU), free
Propineb - code 1020000: Prop ylenethiurea (PTU) free and conjug ated
As all dithiocarbamates result in the final CS2 residue, discr imination among them is generally not possible. However 
sing le residue methods are avai lable for propineb, ziram and thiram. These methods should be implement ed on a case- 
by-case basis when the specific quantification of propineb, ziram and/or thiram is required.’EN Offi cial Jour nal of the European Union 25.10.2021 L 377/31
