For amidosulfuron, cyproconazole, flusilazole, malathion and spinosad, MRLs were set in Part A of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. For fluopyram and imazapic, no MRLs were set before in any of the Annexes to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, so the default value of 0,01 mg/kg applied. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

For azoxystrobin, bentazone, bixafen, malathion and propiconazole, maximum residue levels (MRLs) were set in Annex II and Part B of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. For amidosulfuron, cyproconazole, flusilazole, malathion and spinosad, MRLs were set in Part A of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. For fluopyram and imazapic, no MRLs were set before in any of the Annexes to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, so the default value of 0,01 mg/kg applied.

| (2) | In the context of a procedure, for the authorisation of the use of a plant protection product containing the active substance azoxystrobin on seeds of mustard, poppy and gold of pleasure an application was made under Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 for modification of the existing MRLs. |

In the context of a procedure, for the authorisation of the use of a plant protection product containing the active substance azoxystrobin on seeds of mustard, poppy and gold of pleasure an application was made under Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 for modification of the existing MRLs.

| (3) | As regards bentazone, such an application was made for legume vegetables and fresh herbs. As regards bixafen, such an application was made for rape seed, linseed, mustard seed and poppy seed. As regards amidosulfuron, such an application was made for bovine fat, kidney, liver and milk, taking into account existing uses on cereals and grass fed to ruminants. As regards cyprococonazole, such an application was made for rape seed. As regards fluopyram, such an application was made for pome fruit, strawberry, grapes, carrots, onion bulb, spring onions, tomatoes, sweet corn, cucurbits, flowering brassica, Brussels sprouts, head cabbage, Chinese cabbage, lamb's lettuce, lettuce, cress, land cress, rucola, red mustard, leaves and sprouts of brassica, globe artichokes, leek, peaches, peppers, peas and peas with and without pods, rape seed, wheat and animal products, taking into account uses on animal feed crops fed to domestic food producing animals. On root and tuber vegetables, bulb, brassica, fruiting vegetables, leafy vegetables and herbs that substance may also be present due to treatment of previous crops. Therefore, an application was made to raise the MRLs also for these crops. As regards propiconazole, such an application was made for rice. As regards spinosad, such an application was made for blackberries, raspberries, bananas, radishes and parsley. |

The European Food Safety Authority, hereinafter "the Authority", assessed the applications and the evaluation reports, examining in particular the risks to the consumer and where relevant to animals and gave reasoned opinions on the proposed MRLs (2). It forwarded these opinions to the Commission and the Member States and made them available to the public.

| (8) | The Authority concluded in its reasoned opinions that, as regards use of bentazone on peas with and without pods, the MRLs were already fixed at the levels corresponding to the intended authorised uses. As regards beans and lentils, the Authority proposed lower MRLs based on the assumption, that the current MRLs were no longer needed. In the absence of information confirming that assumption the MRLs should be kept unmodified. As regards fluopyram, with the exception of tree nuts, pome fruit, cherries, strawberries, potato, onions, pulses, peanuts, rape seed, soya bean, maize, rye, sorghum, wheat and sugar beet, no evidence was submitted about the authorisation in the United States for the crops for which import tolerance were requested. Therefore the requirements set out in Article 14 (2) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 were not fulfilled. As regards flusilazole the Authority concluded that, as regards use on tea the data were not adequate to support the MRL requested. As regards malathion on camomille, the Authority proposed two MRLs, one based on the data concerning residues since 2007 and a second one taking into account a possible change of the agricultural practice after 2007 in Egypt. Since there is no evidence of such a change it is appropriate to take the first proposal of the Authority. As regards spinosad the Authority concluded that, as regards use on blackberries and raspberries the data were not adequate to support the MRLs requested. |

| (9) | As regards all other applications, the Authority concluded that all requirements with respect to data were met and that the modifications to the MRLs requested by the applicants were acceptable with regard to consumer safety on the basis of a consumer exposure assessment for 27 specific European consumer groups. It took into account the most recent information on the toxicological properties of the substances. Neither the lifetime exposure to these substances via consumption of all food products that may contain these substances, nor the short term exposure due to extreme consumption of the relevant crops and products showed that there is a risk that the acceptable daily intake (ADI) or the acute reference dose (ARfD) is exceeded. |
