COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2005/74/EC

of 25 October 2005

amending Council Directive 90/642/EEC as regards the maximum residue levels of ethofumesate, lambda-cyhalothrin, methomyl, pymetrozine and thiabendazole fixed therein

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 90/642/EEC of 27 November 1990 on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on certain products of plant origin including fruit and vegetables (1), and in particular Article 7 thereof,

Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (2), and in particular Article 4(1)(f) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | In accordance with Directive 91/414/EEC, authorisations of plant protection products for use on specific crops are the responsibility of the Member States. Such authorisations are required to be based on the evaluation of effects on human and animal health and influence on the environment. Elements to be taken into account in such evaluations include operator and bystander exposure and impact on the terrestrial, aquatic and aerial environments, as well as impact on humans and animals through consumption of residues on treated crops. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

In accordance with Directive 91/414/EEC, authorisations of plant protection products for use on specific crops are the responsibility of the Member States. Such authorisations are required to be based on the evaluation of effects on human and animal health and influence on the environment. Elements to be taken into account in such evaluations include operator and bystander exposure and impact on the terrestrial, aquatic and aerial environments, as well as impact on humans and animals through consumption of residues on treated crops.

| (2) | Maximum residue levels (MRLs) reflect the use of minimum quantities of pesticides to achieve effective protection of plants, applied in such a manner that the amount of residue is the smallest practicable and is toxicologically acceptable, in particular in terms of estimated dietary intake. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

Maximum residue levels (MRLs) reflect the use of minimum quantities of pesticides to achieve effective protection of plants, applied in such a manner that the amount of residue is the smallest practicable and is toxicologically acceptable, in particular in terms of estimated dietary intake.

| (3) | MRLs for pesticides should be kept under review. They may be changed to take account of new uses, new information and data. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

MRLs for pesticides should be kept under review. They may be changed to take account of new uses, new information and data.

| (4) | MRLs are fixed at the lower limit of analytical determination where authorised uses of plant protection products do not result in detectable levels of pesticide residue in or on the food product, or where there are no authorised uses, or where uses which have been authorised by Member States have not been supported by the necessary data, or where uses in third countries resulting in residues in or on food products which may enter into circulation in the Community market have not been supported with such necessary data. |
| --- | --- |

(4)

MRLs are fixed at the lower limit of analytical determination where authorised uses of plant protection products do not result in detectable levels of pesticide residue in or on the food product, or where there are no authorised uses, or where uses which have been authorised by Member States have not been supported by the necessary data, or where uses in third countries resulting in residues in or on food products which may enter into circulation in the Community market have not been supported with such necessary data.

| (5) | Information on new or changed uses of certain pesticides covered by Directive 90/642/EEC has been notified to the Commission. This concerns ethofumesate, lambda-cyhalothrin, methomyl, pymetrozine and thiabendazole
  In the case of lambda-cyhalothrin, methomyl and pymetrozine, for which an acute reference (ARfD) dose exists, the acute exposure of consumers via each of the food products that may contain residues of these pesticides has been assessed and evaluated in accordance with the procedures and practices currently used within the European Community, taking account of guidelines published by the World Health Organisation. The opinions of the Scientific Committee for Plants, in particular advice and recommendations concerning the protection of consumers of food products treated with pesticides, have been taken into account. The intake assessment of lambda-cyhalothrin, methomyl and pymetrozine shows, that by setting the MRLs concerned, ARfD will not be exceeded. In the case of ethofumesate and thiabendazol, an assessment of the available information has shown that no ARfD is required and that therefore a short-term assessment is not needed. |

In the case of ethofumesate and thiabendazol, an assessment of the available information has shown that no ARfD is required and that therefore a short-term assessment is not needed.

| (6) | Therefore it is appropriate to fix new maximum levels for residues of those pesticides. |
| --- | --- |

(6)

Therefore it is appropriate to fix new maximum levels for residues of those pesticides.

| (7) | In the light of technological and scientific developments, it may be appropriate to set specific MRLs for products which are relatively new in the Community, such as ‘Papaya’ and ‘Cassava.’ The list of examples within the groups specified in Annex I to Directive 90/642/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly. |

| (8) | The setting or modification at Community level of provisional MRLs does not prevent the Member States from establishing provisional MRLs for ethofumesate in accordance with Article 4(1)(f) of Directive 91/414/EEC and Annex VI thereto. It is considered that a period of four years is sufficient to permit further uses of the active substance concerned. The provisional MRL should then become definitive. |

COMMISSION DECISION

of 24 October 2005

establishing an expert group on electronic commerce

(2005/752/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Whereas:

| (1) | In the framework of the Directive 2000/31/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2000 on certain legal aspects of information society services, in particular electronic commerce, in the Internal Market (Directive on electronic commerce) (1), the Member States were asked to appoint one or several national contact points to enhance cooperation with other Member States (Article 19.2 of the Directive). |

(1)

In the framework of the Directive 2000/31/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2000 on certain legal aspects of information society services, in particular electronic commerce, in the Internal Market (Directive on electronic commerce) (1), the Member States were asked to appoint one or several national contact points to enhance cooperation with other Member States (Article 19.2 of the Directive).

| (2) | Thereafter, the First Report on the application of Directive 2000/31/EC on electronic commerce (COM(2003) 702 final of 21 November 2003) in chapter seven envisaged that the Commission will now ‘focus on ensuring the practical functioning of administrative cooperation and the continuous exchange of information between the Commission and the Member States themselves’. |

Thereafter, the First Report on the application of Directive 2000/31/EC on electronic commerce (COM(2003) 702 final of 21 November 2003) in chapter seven envisaged that the Commission will now ‘focus on ensuring the practical functioning of administrative cooperation and the continuous exchange of information between the Commission and the Member States themselves’.

| (3) | Moreover, it is useful to give Member States the possibility to discuss problems in the application of the Directive on electronic commerce and emerging issues in the area of electronic commerce. It is also important to encourage and facilitate cooperation between them and the Commission. The Expert Group will thus provide a useful forum to exchange views on the practical implementation and application of the Directive, including information on codes of conduct drawn up by consumer and professional associations, codes of conduct on on-line advertising by regulated professions; national case law, especially related to the liability provisions; new developments mentioned in Article 21 of the Directive, such as liability of providers of hyperlinks and location tool services and ‘notice and take down’ procedures; and to discuss the possible scope of the subsequent evaluation reports on the application of the Directive on electronic commerce. |

| (4) | Regulation (EC) No 2006/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 October 2004 on cooperation between national authorities responsible for the enforcement of consumer protection laws (the Regulation on consumer protection cooperation) (2) establishes a network of public authorities responsible for the protection of consumers economic interests, partially harmonises their investigation and enforcement powers and provides mutual assistance arrangements between them. The provisions of Directive 2000/31/EC that protect consumers' economic interests enter within the scope of the Regulation. It is appropriate that the Committee set up for the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 2006/2004 regularly informs the Expert group on electronic commerce about its activities which may be relevant for the latter, |
