(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) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | For bifenazate and captan maximum residue levels (MRLs) were set in Annex II and Part B of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. For cyprodinil, fluopicolide, hexythiazox, metaldehyde, oxadixyl and phosmet MRLs were set in Part A of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. For isoprothiolane no MRLs were set before in any of the Annexes to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. |
| --- | --- |

For bifenazate and captan maximum residue levels (MRLs) were set in Annex II and Part B of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. For cyprodinil, fluopicolide, hexythiazox, metaldehyde, oxadixyl and phosmet MRLs were set in Part A of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. For isoprothiolane no MRLs were set before in any of the Annexes to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.

| (2) | In the context of a procedure for the authorisation of the use of a plant protection product containing the active substance bifenazate on currants (red, black and white), raspberries and blackberries an application was made under Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 for modification of the existing MRLs. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

In the context of a procedure for the authorisation of the use of a plant protection product containing the active substance bifenazate on currants (red, black and white), raspberries and blackberries an application was made under Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 for modification of the existing MRLs.

| (3) | As regards captan, such an application was made on blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, currants (red, black and white) and gooseberries. As regards cyprodinil, such an application was made in fresh herbs, spinach and beet leaves, lettuce, lamb's lettuce, cress, scarole, rocket/rucola and leaves and sprouts of Brassica spp. As regards fluopicolide, such an application was made for in radishes, onions, potatoes and kale. As regards hexythiazox, such an application was made for tea. As regards metaldehyde such an application was made for strawberries, potatoes, kohlrabi, lettuce and other salad plants, the whole group of spinach and similar, the whole group of herbs and rape seed. As regards phosmet, such an application was made for potatoes, apricots, peaches, table olives, olives for oil production and rape seed. |

| (4) | In accordance with Article 6(2) and (4) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 an application was made for isoprothiolane on rice. The authorised use of isoprothiolane on rice in Japan leads to a higher residue than the MRL in Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. To avoid trade barriers for the importation of this crop, a higher MRL are necessary. |

| (10) | 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. |

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 594/2012

of 5 July 2012

amending Regulation (EC) 1881/2006 as regards the maximum levels of the contaminants ochratoxin A, non dioxin-like PCBs and melamine in foodstuffs

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 315/93 of 8 February 1993 laying down Community procedures for contaminants in food (1), and in particular Article 2(3) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Commission Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 (2) sets maximum levels for certain contaminants in foodstuffs. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 (2) sets maximum levels for certain contaminants in foodstuffs.

| (2) | Commission Regulation (EU) No 1259/2011 (3), amending Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006, established new maximum levels for non dioxin-like PCBs applicable as from 1 January 2012. It is appropriate to provide that those maximum levels are not applicable to foodstuffs which were lawfully placed on the market before that date. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

Commission Regulation (EU) No 1259/2011 (3), amending Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006, established new maximum levels for non dioxin-like PCBs applicable as from 1 January 2012. It is appropriate to provide that those maximum levels are not applicable to foodstuffs which were lawfully placed on the market before that date.

| (3) | Commission Regulation (EU) No 105/2010 (4), amending Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006, established a final lower maximum level for Ochratoxin A in spices, which is supposed to be achievable by applying good practices. To enable the spices producing countries to put prevention measures in place and in order to avoid disruptions of trade to an unacceptable extent, that Regulation furthermore provided for a higher maximum level to be applied for a limited period of time. The Regulation furthermore provided that an assessment should be performed of the achievability of the lower levels for ochratoxin A by applying good practices in the different producing regions in the world. This assessment had to be done before the lower maximum level of Ochratoxin A would become applicable. Although a significant improvement in the application of good practices in the different producing regions in the world has been noticed, the projected lower maximum level for Ochratoxin A is not yet achieavable in Capsicum species on a consistent basis. It is therefore appropriate to postpone the application of the lower maximum level for Capsicum spp. |

It is therefore appropriate to postpone the application of the lower maximum level for Capsicum spp.

| (4) | Wheat gluten is produced as a co-product of the starch production. Evidence has been provided that the current maximum level of Ochratoxin A in wheat gluten is no longer achievable, in particular at the end of the storage season, even with the strict application of good practices as regards storage, possibly due to the changing climate conditions. It is therefore appropriate to modify the current maximum level to a level which is achievable by applying good practices and which still provides a high level of human health protection. |

| (5) | The Scientific Panel on Contaminants in the Food Chain of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has, on a request from the Commission, adopted on 4 April 2006 an updated scientific opinion relating to ochratoxin A in food (5), taking into account new scientific information and derived a tolerable weekly intake (TWI) of 120 ng/kg b.w. In accordance with the conclusions of the opinion adopted by EFSA, the envisaged changes as regards Ochratoxin A in this Regulation continue to provide a high level of human health protection. |

| (6) | The EFSA has, on a request from the Commission, on 18 March 2010, adopted a scientific opinion related to the melamine in feed and food (6). Its findings show that exposure to melamine can result in the formation of crystals in the urinary tract. Those crystals cause proximal tubular damage and have been observed in animals and children as a result of incidents involving adulteration of feed and infant formula with melamine, leading to fatalities in some instances. The Codex Alimentarius Commission has established maximum levels for melamine in feed and food (7). It is appropriate to include those maximum levels in Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 to protect public health as those levels are in accordance with the conclusions of the EFSA's opinion. |

The EFSA has, on a request from the Commission, on 18 March 2010, adopted a scientific opinion related to the melamine in feed and food (6). Its findings show that exposure to melamine can result in the formation of crystals in the urinary tract. Those crystals cause proximal tubular damage and have been observed in animals and children as a result of incidents involving adulteration of feed and infant formula with melamine, leading to fatalities in some instances. The Codex Alimentarius Commission has established maximum levels for melamine in feed and food (7). It is appropriate to include those maximum levels in Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 to protect public health as those levels are in accordance with the conclusions of the EFSA's opinion.

| (7) | Therefore, Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 should be amended accordingly. |

of 5 July 2012

approving the active substance fenpyrazamine, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market, and amending the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011

(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 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC (1), and in particular Article 13(2) and Article 78(2) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | In accordance with Article 80(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, Council Directive 91/414/EEC (2) is to apply, with respect to the procedure and the conditions for approval, to active substances for which a decision has been adopted in accordance with Article 6(3) of that Directive before 14 June 2011. For fenpyrazamine the conditions of Article 80(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 are fulfilled by Commission Decision 2010/150/EU (3). |

It is therefore appropriate to approve fenpyrazamine.

| (6) | Without prejudice to the obligations provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 as a consequence of approval, taking into account the specific situation created by the transition from Directive 91/414/EEC to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the following should, however, apply. Member States should be allowed a period of six months after approval to review authorisations of plant protection products containing fenpyrazamine. Member States should, as appropriate, vary, replace or withdraw authorisations. By way of derogation from that deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the update of the complete Annex III dossier, as set out in Directive 91/414/EEC, of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles. |

| (7) | The experience gained from inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 of 11 December 1992 laying down the detailed rules for the implementation of the first stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (5) has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I to that Directive or the Regulations approving active substances. |

B.   PRODUCT

PRODUCT

| (3) | The product concerned by the possible circumvention is silicon metal originating in the PRC, currently falling within CN code 2804 69 00 (silicon content less than 99,99 % by weight) (‘the product concerned’). Purely by reason of the current classification set out in the Combined Nomenclature, it should read ‘silicon’. Silicon with a higher purity, that is containing by weight not less than 99,99 % of silicon, used mostly in the electronic semi-conductor industry, falls under a different CN code and is not covered by this proceeding. |

C.   EXISTING MEASURES

EXISTING MEASURES

| (5) | The measures currently in force and possibly being circumvented are anti-dumping measures imposed by Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 467/2010 (2) imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of silicon originating in the People’s Republic of China, as extended to imports of silicon consigned from the Republic of Korea, whether declared as originating in the Republic of Korea or not, following an expiry review pursuant to Article 11(2) and a partial interim review pursuant to Article 11(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009. |

D.   GROUNDS

GROUNDS

| (7) | The request contains sufficient prima facie evidence that the anti-dumping measures on imports of silicon originating in the People's Republic of China are being circumvented by means of transhipment via Taiwan. |

The prima facie evidence at the Commission's disposal is as follows:

prima facie

| (9) | There is a significant change in the pattern of trade involving exports from the People's Republic of China and Taiwan to the Union which has taken place following the imposition of measures on the product concerned, without sufficient due cause or justification for such a change other than the imposition of the duty. |

(10)

This change appears to stem from the transhipment of silicon originating in the People's Republic of China via Taiwan to the Union.

| (11) | Furthermore, the evidence points to the fact that the remedial effects of the existing anti-dumping measures on the product concerned are being undermined both in terms of quantity and price. Significant volumes of imports of the product under investigation appear to have replaced imports of the product concerned. In addition, there is sufficient evidence that imports of the product under investigation are made at prices well below the non-injurious price established in the investigation that led to the existing measures, adjusted for the increase in the costs of the raw material. |

In accordance with Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 in conjunction with Article 6 thereof and in the light of current scientific and technical knowledge, it is necessary to amend the conditions of approval of aluminium ammonium sulphate, fat distillation residues, repellents by smell of animal or plant origin/fish oil and urea. It is, in particular, appropriate to require further confirmatory information as regards those active substances. At the same time certain technical adaptations should be made, in particular the name of the active substances ‘Repellents by smell of animal or plant origin/fish oil’ and ‘fat distillation residues’ should be replaced respectively by ‘fish oil’ and fat distillation residues. The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly.

| (6) | A reasonable period of time should be allowed before the application of this Regulation in order to allow Member States, notifiers and holders of authorisations for plant protection products to meet the requirements resulting from amendment to the conditions of the approval. |

| (11) | Following submission of the draft assessment reports by the rapporteur Member States, it has been found to be necessary to request further information from the applicants and to have the rapporteur Member States examine that information and submit their assessment. Therefore, the examination of the dossiers is still ongoing and it will not be possible to complete the evaluation within the time-frame provided for in Directive 91/414/EEC, read in conjunction with Commission Decisions 2010/457/EU (9) (Candida oleophila strain O, potassium iodide and potassium thiocyanate) and 2010/671/EU (10) (spirotetramat). |
