Those MRLs will be reviewed taking into account the information available within two years from the publication of this Regulation. As regards strawberries, raspberries, Chinese cabbage, lamb’s lettuce, beans (fresh, with pods), cardoons, fennel and rhubarb, after submitting the opinion referred to in the first sentence, the Authority submitted a further opinion concerning the MRLs (7). It is appropriate to take that opinion into account.

| (6) | For pyraclostrobin, the Authority submitted a reasoned opinion on the existing MRLs in accordance with Article 12(2) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 in conjunction with Article 12(1) thereof (8). The Authority recommended lowering the MRLs for scarole and lupins (dry). For other products it recommended raising or keeping the existing MRLs. The Authority concluded that concerning the MRLs for table grapes, celery, cotton seed and coffee beans some information was not available and that further consideration by risk managers was required. As there is no risk for consumers, MRLs for those products should be set in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 at the existing level or the level identified by the Authority. Those MRLs will be reviewed taking into account the information available within two years from the publication of this Regulation. As regards oranges, leafy brassica, linseed, peanuts, poppy seed, sesame seed, rape seed, mustard seed, cotton seed, safflower, borage, gold of pleasure and castor bean, after submitting the opinion referred to in the first sentence, the Authority submitted further opinions concerning the MRLs (9) (10). It is appropriate to take those opinions into account. As regards cherries, peaches, plums, strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, papaya, onions, cucurbits – edible peel, barley, oats, rye, sorghum and wheat, after the Authority submitted the opinion referred to in the first sentence, the Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) (11) adopted Codex MRLs (CXLs) for pyraclostrobin. It is appropriate to take these CXLs into account, with the exception of those CXLs which are not safe for a European consumer group and for which the Union presented a reservation to the CAC (12). |
