COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 765/2010

of 25 August 2010

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 chlorothalonil clothianidin, difenoconazole, fenhexamid, flubendiamide, nicotine, spirotetramat, thiacloprid and thiamethoxam 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) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | For chlorothalonil, fenhexamid and thiacloprid maximum residue levels (MRLs) were set in Annex II and Part B of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. For clothianidin, difenoconazole, flubendiamide, spirotetramat and thiamethoxam, MRLs were set in Part A of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. Up to now, for nicotine no specific MRLs were set nor was that substance included in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

For chlorothalonil, fenhexamid and thiacloprid maximum residue levels (MRLs) were set in Annex II and Part B of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. For clothianidin, difenoconazole, flubendiamide, spirotetramat and thiamethoxam, MRLs were set in Part A of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. Up to now, for nicotine no specific MRLs were set nor was that substance included in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.

| (2) | In the context of a procedure, in accordance with Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (2), for the authorisation of the use of a plant protection product containing the active substance difenoconazole on swedes and turnips 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, in accordance with Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (2), for the authorisation of the use of a plant protection product containing the active substance difenoconazole on swedes and turnips an application was made under Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 for modification of the existing MRLs.

| (3) | As regards chlorothalonil, such an application was made for the use on barley. In view of that application, it is necessary to set MRLs for meat, fat, liver, kidney and milk from bovines, sheep and goats, since cereals are used as feed and residues may end up on forage for these animals. As regards fenhexamid, such an application was made for the use on lettuce. As regards flubendiamide, such an application was made for the use on aubergine, cucurbits and beans with pods. As regards spirotetramat, such an application was made for the use on onions. As regards thiacloprid, such an application was made for the use on strawberries, while also a Codex MRL exists for that combination. As regards thiamethoxam, such an application was made for carrots. In view of residues of clothianidin caused by the use of thiamethoxam, it is also necessary to modify the MRL for clothianidin on carrots. |

| (4) | In accordance with Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, these applications were evaluated by the Member States concerned and the evaluation reports were forwarded to the Commission. |

In accordance with Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, these applications were evaluated by the Member States concerned and the evaluation reports were forwarded to the Commission.

| (5) | As regards nicotine in wild fungi, the Commission received information from Member States and business operators showing the presence of nicotine in wild fungi leading to higher residues than the default MRL of 0,01 mg/kg laid down in that Regulation. |

(5)

As regards nicotine in wild fungi, the Commission received information from Member States and business operators showing the presence of nicotine in wild fungi leading to higher residues than the default MRL of 0,01 mg/kg laid down in that Regulation.

| (6) | 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 (3). In the case of nicotine, the Commission asked the Authority to give an opinion on public health risks of nicotine residues in mushrooms. Given the urgency the Authority issued a ‘statement’, referring to several remaining uncertainties, rather than a reasoned opinion (4). It forwarded these opinions and that statement to the Commission and the Member States and made them available to the public. |

Given the urgency the Authority issued a ‘statement’, referring to several remaining uncertainties, rather than a reasoned opinion (4). It forwarded these opinions and that statement to the Commission and the Member States and made them available to the public.

| (7) | The Authority concluded in its reasoned opinions 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 showed that there is a risk that the acceptable daily intake (ADI) or the acute reference dose (ARfD) is exceeded. |

| (8) | As regards nicotine on wild fungi, the Authority points out that its statement is affected by a number of uncertainties and limitations. In addition to that statement, monitoring data were collected in 2009 to investigate the presence of this substance in wild mushrooms. Those data were generated by Member States, food business operators and by the Chinese government and showed that nicotine is present in wild mushrooms at levels that vary depending on the source and variety, but that exceed, in almost the totality of the samples, the default MRL of 0,01 mg/kg. These findings provide evidence of the unavoidable presence of nicotine in wild fungi, in particular ceps (Boletus edulis). Therefore, it is appropriate to set temporary MRLs for nicotine in wild fungi, based on the available monitoring data and on the opinion of the Authority. Those temporary MRLs should be reviewed within two years, to evaluate new data and information that will become available, including any scientific evidence on the natural occurrence or formation of nicotine in wild fungi. |

COMMISSION DECISION

of 17 August 2010

amending Decision 2007/365/EC as regards the susceptible plants and the measures to be taken in cases where Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier) is detected

(notified under document C(2010) 5640)

(2010/467/EU)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Council Directive 2000/29/EC of 8 May 2000 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community (1), and in particular the fourth sentence of Article 16(3), thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Commission Decision 2007/365/EC (2) requires Member States to adopt measures to protect themselves against the introduction and spread of Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier) (the specified organism). In addition, Member States are to conduct official annual surveys for the presence of the specified organism or evidence of infection by the specified organism on plants of the Palmae family in their territory and notify the Commission and the other Member States of the results of those surveys. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Commission Decision 2007/365/EC (2) requires Member States to adopt measures to protect themselves against the introduction and spread of Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier) (the specified organism). In addition, Member States are to conduct official annual surveys for the presence of the specified organism or evidence of infection by the specified organism on plants of the Palmae family in their territory and notify the Commission and the other Member States of the results of those surveys.

| (2) | The official annual surveys carried out by the Member States in 2009 show that the specified organism also infested plant species belonging to the Palmae family which are not defined as susceptible plants in Decision 2007/365/EC. Therefore, it is necessary to include the plant species belonging to Palmae in the list of susceptible plants in Decision 2007/365/EC in order to allow for the emergency measures provided for in that Decision to apply also to those species. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

The official annual surveys carried out by the Member States in 2009 show that the specified organism also infested plant species belonging to the Palmae family which are not defined as susceptible plants in Decision 2007/365/EC. Therefore, it is necessary to include the plant species belonging to Palmae in the list of susceptible plants in Decision 2007/365/EC in order to allow for the emergency measures provided for in that Decision to apply also to those species.

| (3) | Missions carried out by the Commission in Member States, in particular in 2009, showed that the results of the application of Decision 2007/365/EC were not fully satisfactory as regards the measures to be taken in cases where the specified organism is detected. In addition to the findings of those missions, the Commission received further information on the methods of control, containment and eradication of the specified organism, in January 2010, from a group of experts formed by the Commission to assist it in this context and including experts from all Member States affected by the specified organism, and in May 2010, on the occasion of an international conference on the specified organism, which took place in Spain. Taking into account the results of those missions and the information received in 2010, it is necessary to make certain amendments to Decision 2007/365/EC. |

Taking into account the results of those missions and the information received in 2010, it is necessary to make certain amendments to Decision 2007/365/EC.

| (4) | The information received in 2009 and in 2010 suggests that the risk of possible spread of the specified organism through import of susceptible plants from third countries or from areas in third countries, that are not free from the specified organism cannot, due to the cryptic biology of the specified organism, be adequately mitigated by appropriate preventive treatments. Such treatments do not sufficiently prevent spreading of the specified organism from susceptible plants which are infested but show no symptoms. It is therefore necessary to place susceptible plants imported from those third countries or from those areas in third countries in a site in the Union with complete physical protection. |

Such treatments do not sufficiently prevent spreading of the specified organism from susceptible plants which are infested but show no symptoms. It is therefore necessary to place susceptible plants imported from those third countries or from those areas in third countries in a site in the Union with complete physical protection.

| (5) | In cases where the specified organism appears in a Member State or in a part of a Member State, in which its presence was previously unknown, the Member State concerned should immediately, and in any case within five days, notify the Commission and the other Member States. To this aim, it should also be ensured that the responsible official body of that Member State is immediately informed. In most cases the Member State concerned should further define a demarcated area, draw up an action plan and implement that action plan. In order to facilitate an integrated approach for the eradication of the organism the action plan should set out all the measures, the reasons for those measures, describing the situation and the scientific data and the criteria on which those measures were selected. |

In order to facilitate an integrated approach for the eradication of the organism the action plan should set out all the measures, the reasons for those measures, describing the situation and the scientific data and the criteria on which those measures were selected.

| (6) | However, in some cases it may occur that only plants belonging to one consignment were identified as infested in an area, in which the specified organism was previously not known to occur within a radius of 10 km around those infested plants, that the infestation is linked to a consignment that was moved recently into that area and that that consignment had already been infested by the specified organism prior to movement. In those cases, and only where there is no risk of spreading of the specified organism, Member States should have the possibility to decide not to establish the demarcated area and to limit the official measures to the destruction of the infested material, carrying out an intensified survey programme and the tracing of related plant material. |

| (7) | In order to provide the Commission and the other Member States with detailed information on the spreading of the specified organism and on the official measures taken to contain and eradicate it, the Member States concerned should submit the official annual surveys to the Commission together with up-to-date action plans and, where applicable, an up-to-date list of the demarcated areas including a description and location of those areas. |

Following the inclusion of A. strigosa in the list of the species covered by Directive 66/402/EEC, only seed of varieties registered in the common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species may be marketed and imported.

| (4) | Since the inclusion of the species A. strigosa among the list of species covered by Directive 66/402/EEC, only two varieties of that species have been registered in the common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species. |

Since the inclusion of the species A. strigosa among the list of species covered by Directive 66/402/EEC, only two varieties of that species have been registered in the common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species.

| (5) | In the light of these circumstances, temporary difficulties in the general supply of A. strigosa have occurred and are expected to continue. These difficulties cannot be overcome otherwise than through Member States permitting, for a specified period and subject to an appropriate maximum quantity, the marketing of varieties of A. strigosa not included in the common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species or in the national catalogues of varieties of the Member States. |

In the light of these circumstances, temporary difficulties in the general supply of A. strigosa have occurred and are expected to continue. These difficulties cannot be overcome otherwise than through Member States permitting, for a specified period and subject to an appropriate maximum quantity, the marketing of varieties of A. strigosa not included in the common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species or in the national catalogues of varieties of the Member States.

| (6) | Member States should therefore be authorised to temporarily permit the marketing of such seed, subject to certain conditions and limitations and without prejudice to the more stringent provisions concerning the presence of Avena fatua in cereal seed which Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, the Netherlands, Sweden and the United Kingdom in respect of Northern Ireland may apply pursuant to the relevant Commission Decisions. |

| (7) | It appears from the information provided to the Commission by the Member States that, in total, a quantity of 4 970 tonnes is necessary to resolve these supply difficulties (Belgium 300 tonnes, France 3 700 tonnes, Germany 200 tonnes, Italy 220 tonnes, Spain 300 tonnes and Portugal 250 tonnes), for a period expiring on 31 December 2010. To ensure that this seed is of sufficient quality it should meet at least the requirements laid down in Annex II to Directive 66/402/EEC as regards germination, analytical purity and content of seeds of other plant species for the category certified seed, 2nd generation of A. strigosa. |

| (8) | It is appropriate that one Member State acts in order to ensure that the quantity of seed authorised for marketing by the Member States pursuant to this Decision does not exceed the total maximum quantity of 4 970 tonnes that is necessary to resolve the supply difficulties. In line with the requests of the six Member States, France should therefore act as single coordinator. In order to ensure the good functioning of the system set out by this Decision, it is further necessary that the coordinating Member State, the other Member States and the Commission immediately share the relevant information regarding applications and the granting of authorisations for marketing. |

Article 1

1.   The marketing in the Union of seed of varieties of A. strigosa not included in the common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species or in the national catalogues of varieties of the Member States shall be permitted, for a period expiring on 31 December 2010 and subject to the conditions referred to in paragraphs 2 to 5.

2.   The total quantity of seed authorised for marketing in the Union pursuant to this Decision shall not exceed 4 970 tonnes.

3.   The seed referred to in paragraph 1 shall comply with the requirements laid down in Annex II to Directive 66/402/EEC as regards the conditions concerning germination, analytical purity and content of seeds of other plant species to be satisfied by the seed for the category certified seed, 2nd generation of A. strigosa.

4.   Without prejudice to any labelling requirement of Directive 66/402/EEC, the official label shall contain the statement that the seed in question is of a category satisfying less stringent requirements than those laid down by that Directive, and that this category is lower than the category certified seed, 2nd generation. The colour of the label shall be brown.

5.   The marketing of the seed referred in paragraph 1 shall be permitted upon application in conformity with Article 2.

Article 2

Any seed supplier wishing to place on the market the seed referred to in Article 1(1) shall apply for authorisation to the Member State in which he is established or to the Member State in which he wishes to place the seed on the market. The application shall specify the quantity of seed that the supplier wishes to place on the market.

The Member State concerned shall authorise the supplier to place the quantity of seed specified in the application on the market, unless:

| (a) | there is sufficient evidence to doubt whether the supplier is able and intends to place the quantity of seed specified in his application on the market; or |
| --- | --- |

(a)

there is sufficient evidence to doubt whether the supplier is able and intends to place the quantity of seed specified in his application on the market; or

| (b) | having regard to the information provided by the coordinating Member State referred to in the third subparagraph of Article 3, granting the authorisation would result in the total maximum quantity of seed referred to in Article 1(2) being exceeded; or |
| --- | --- |

(b)

having regard to the information provided by the coordinating Member State referred to in the third subparagraph of Article 3, granting the authorisation would result in the total maximum quantity of seed referred to in Article 1(2) being exceeded; or

| (c) | the conditions concerning germination, analytical purity and content of seeds of other plant species referred to in Article 1(3) have not been met. |
| --- | --- |

(c)

the conditions concerning germination, analytical purity and content of seeds of other plant species referred to in Article 1(3) have not been met.

As regard point (b), in case the total maximum quantity would only allow for authorisation of part of the quantity specified in the application, the Member State concerned may authorise the supplier to place that lesser quantity on the market.

Article 3

Member States shall assist each other administratively in the application of this Decision.

For the period starting from the entry into force of this Decision until 31 December 2010, France shall act as coordinating Member State in order to ensure that the quantity of seed authorised for marketing in the Union by the Member States pursuant to this Decision shall not exceed the total maximum quantity of seed referred to in Article 1(2).

Any Member State receiving an application pursuant to Article 2 shall immediately inform the coordinating Member State of the quantity specified in that application. The coordinating Member State shall immediately inform that Member State as to whether and to what extent granting authorisation for marketing upon that application would result in the total maximum quantity of seed being exceeded.

Article 4

Member States shall immediately notify the Commission and the other Member States of the quantities in respect of which they have granted authorisation for marketing pursuant to this Decision.

Article 5

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

| --- | --- | --- |

(b)

without prejudice to point (a), an infringement procedure shall be initiated after repeated non-compliance has been logged by the competent NCB, unless:

Article 4

Application of sanctions

1.   Sanctions shall be calculated following a two-stage procedure. First a baseline amount is calculated which reflects quantitative aspects. The circumstances of the case as referred to in Article 2(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2532/98 are then taken into account and may affect the actual amount of the sanction.

2.   In the case of infringements relating to timeliness, the seriousness of the infringement shall depend on the number of working days of delay vis-à-vis the NCB deadline.

3.   In the case of infringements relating to inaccuracy and/or conceptual compliance, the seriousness of the infringement shall depend on the size of the error. The ECB shall not take into account errors of a rounding nature or negligible errors. In addition, as regards conceptual compliance, ordinary revisions, i.e. non-systematic revisions to the series reported within the period (month or quarter) following the initial reporting, shall not be considered as cases of conceptual non-compliance.

4.   Article 7(4) of Regulation (EC) No 2533/98 sets forth the maximum sanctions which the ECB may impose on reporting agents.

5.   If an infringement of statistical reporting requirements also results in an infringement of minimum reserve requirements, no sanction shall be imposed for the infringement of the statistical reporting requirements.

Article 5

Final provision

This Decision shall enter into force on 1 September 2010. It shall apply from the reference period December 2010 for monthly and annual reporting requirements and the fourth quarter 2010 for quarterly reporting requirements.
