COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) 2021/1110

of 6 July 2021

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 ametoctradin, bixafen, fenazaquin, spinetoram, tefluthrin and thiencarbazone-methyl in or on certain products

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard 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 February 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 ametoctradin, bixafen, fenazaquin, spinetoram and tefluthrin maximum residue levels (MRLs) were set in Part A of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. For thiencarbazone-methyl no MRLs were set in Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, and as this active substance is not included in Annex IV to that Regulation, the default value of 0,01 mg/kg laid down in Article 18(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 applies. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

For ametoctradin, bixafen, fenazaquin, spinetoram and tefluthrin maximum residue levels (MRLs) were set in Part A of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. For thiencarbazone-methyl no MRLs were set in Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, and as this active substance is not included in Annex IV to that Regulation, the default value of 0,01 mg/kg laid down in Article 18(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 applies.

| (2) | For ametoctradin the European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) submitted a reasoned opinion on the existing MRLs in accordance with Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 (2). It recommended lowering the MRLs for sweet peppers/bell peppers. For other products, it recommended raising or keeping the existing MRLs. The 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. The Authority further concluded that concerning the MRLs for spring onions/green onions and Welsh onions, barley, oat, rye, wheat, hops, swine (muscle, fat, liver, kidney), bovine (muscle, fat, liver, kidney, milk), sheep (muscle, fat, liver, kidney, milk), goat (muscle, fat, liver, kidney, milk), equine (muscle, fat, liver, kidney, milk), poultry (muscle, fat, liver, kidney) and birds’ eggs some information was not available and that further consideration by risk managers 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 identified by the Authority. These MRLs will be reviewed; the review will take into account the information available within two years from the publication of this Regulation. |

| (3) | For bixafen the Authority submitted a reasoned opinion on the existing MRLs in accordance with Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 (3). It recommended lowering the MRLs for linseeds, mustard seeds, barley and oat. For other products, it recommended raising or keeping the existing MRLs. Based on rotational crops studies and taking into account that the uptake of residues in succeeding crops cannot be fully avoided, specific MRLs reflecting uptake of residues from soil were derived for beetroots, carrots, celeriacs/turnip rooted celeries, horseradishes, Jerusalem artichokes, parsnips, parsley roots/Hamburg roots parsley, radishes, salsifies, swedes/rutabagas, turnips, herbal infusions from roots, sugar beet roots and chicory roots. The 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. |

| (4) | For fenazaquin the Authority 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, melons and watermelons. For other products, it recommended raising or keeping the existing MRLs. The Authority further concluded that concerning the MRLs for citrus fruits, pome fruits, strawberries, tomatoes and teas some information was not available and that further consideration by risk managers 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 identified by the Authority.

| (5) | For spinetoram the Authority submitted a reasoned opinion on the existing MRLs in accordance with Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 (5). It proposed to change the residue definition. It recommended lowering the MRLs for oranges, mandarins, plums, litchis/lychees, mangoes, potatoes, onions, tomatoes, sweet peppers/bell peppers, aubergines/eggplants, cucumbers, gherkins, courgettes, melons, pumpkins, watermelons, sweet corn, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, head cabbages, lettuces, spinaches, beans (with pods), leeks and sugar beet roots. For other products, it recommended raising or keeping the existing MRLs. The 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. Taking into account additional information on the good agricultural practice provided by Belgium and as there is no risk for consumers, the MRL for cresses and other sprouts and shoots and land cresses should be set in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 at the existing level.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

(1)

Commission Decision 2013/767/EU (1) has set up a framework for civil dialogue in matters covered by the common agricultural policy, in accordance with Article 11(2) TEU.

| (2) | The member organisations of the civil dialogue groups (2) (CDGs) have been appointed for a seven-year mandate, which expires in July 2021. However, the necessity to renew the mandate of those member organisations coincides with the final phase of the inter-institutional negotiations on the new common agricultural policy that will be applicable as from 2023. Moreover, the outcome of the reform of the common agricultural policy, which will be followed by the adoption of a series of implementing and delegated acts, should have an impact on the new structure of the CDGs. |

| (3) | The existing CDGs system matches the current architecture of the agricultural legislation of the Union. Therefore, the mandate of the member organisations should be extended until 31 December 2022, following the rationale of Regulation (EU) 2020/2220 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), which ensures a transition towards the new common agricultural policy and extended most of the currently applicable rules until the end of 2022. |
