COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 304/2010

of 9 April 2010

amending Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards maximum residue levels for 2-phenylphenol 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) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | 2-phenylphenol is an active substance belonging to the fourth stage of the review programme of Council Directive 91/414/EEC (2) for which the assessment report was presented to the Commission on 19 December 2008 in the format of the EFSA Scientific Report for 2-phenylphenol (3). That report includes the opinion of the European Food Safety Authority, hereinafter ‘the Authority’, on the necessity of setting MRLs for that active substance in accordance with Article 12(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, and a proposal for such MRLs. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

2-phenylphenol is an active substance belonging to the fourth stage of the review programme of Council Directive 91/414/EEC (2) for which the assessment report was presented to the Commission on 19 December 2008 in the format of the EFSA Scientific Report for 2-phenylphenol (3). That report includes the opinion of the European Food Safety Authority, hereinafter ‘the Authority’, on the necessity of setting MRLs for that active substance in accordance with Article 12(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, and a proposal for such MRLs.

| (2) | The Authority examined in particular the risks to consumers and animals. It evaluated the representative use as a post harvest fungicide on citrus and pears and concluded that, based on the available information, a maximum residue level (MRL) of 5 mg/kg should be set provisionally for the notified use on citrus fruit by drench application. In order to confirm the risk assessment, the Authority requested confirmation that the analytical method applied in the residue trials correctly quantifies the residues of 2-phenylphenol, 2-phenylhydroquinone and their conjugates. In addition, the Authority concluded that the notifier should submit two additional residue trials on citrus fruit and valid storage stability studies. As regards the notified use on pears, the Authority could not propose any MRL because the submitted residue data were not acceptable. In the absence of a specific MRL, the lowest limit of analytical determination should apply. |

The Authority examined in particular the risks to consumers and animals. It evaluated the representative use as a post harvest fungicide on citrus and pears and concluded that, based on the available information, a maximum residue level (MRL) of 5 mg/kg should be set provisionally for the notified use on citrus fruit by drench application. In order to confirm the risk assessment, the Authority requested confirmation that the analytical method applied in the residue trials correctly quantifies the residues of 2-phenylphenol, 2-phenylhydroquinone and their conjugates. In addition, the Authority concluded that the notifier should submit two additional residue trials on citrus fruit and valid storage stability studies. As regards the notified use on pears, the Authority could not propose any MRL because the submitted residue data were not acceptable. In the absence of a specific MRL, the lowest limit of analytical determination should apply.

| (3) | The risk assessment carried out by the Authority took into account the most recent information on the toxicological properties of 2-phenylphenol. It showed that an MRL of 5 mg/kg for citrus fruit is acceptable with regard to consumer safety on the basis of a consumer exposure assessment for 27 specific European consumer groups. The lifetime exposure assessment via consumption of all food products that may contain 2-phenylphenol showed that there is no risk that the acceptable daily intake (ADI) is exceeded. As an acute reference dose (ARfD) is not necessary for 2-phenylphenol, there was no need to evaluate the short term exposure. |

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 305/2010

of 14 April 2010

replacing Annexes I and II to Council Regulation (EC) No 673/2005 establishing additional customs duties on imports of certain products originating in the United States of America

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 673/2005 of 25 April 2005 establishing additional customs duties on imports of certain products originating in the United States of America (1), and in particular Article 3 thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | As a result of the United States’ failure to bring the Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act (CDSOA) in conformity with its obligations under the World Trade Organisation (WTO) agreements, Regulation (EC) No 673/2005 imposed a 15 % ad valorem additional customs duty on imports of certain products originating in the United States of America as from 1 May 2005. In conformity with the WTO authorisation to suspend the application of concessions in respect of certain products originating in the United States, the Commission shall adjust the level of suspension annually to the level of nullification or impairment caused by the CDSOA to the European Union at that time. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

As a result of the United States’ failure to bring the Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act (CDSOA) in conformity with its obligations under the World Trade Organisation (WTO) agreements, Regulation (EC) No 673/2005 imposed a 15 % ad valorem additional customs duty on imports of certain products originating in the United States of America as from 1 May 2005. In conformity with the WTO authorisation to suspend the application of concessions in respect of certain products originating in the United States, the Commission shall adjust the level of suspension annually to the level of nullification or impairment caused by the CDSOA to the European Union at that time.

| (2) | The CDSOA disbursements for the most recent year for which data are available relate to the distribution of anti-dumping and countervailing duties collected during the Fiscal Year 2009 (1 October 2008-30 September 2009). On the basis of the data published by the United States’ Customs and Border Protection, the level of nullification or impairment caused to the European Union is calculated at USD 95,83 million. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

The CDSOA disbursements for the most recent year for which data are available relate to the distribution of anti-dumping and countervailing duties collected during the Fiscal Year 2009 (1 October 2008-30 September 2009). On the basis of the data published by the United States’ Customs and Border Protection, the level of nullification or impairment caused to the European Union is calculated at USD 95,83 million.

| (3) | Since the level of nullification or impairment and consequently of suspension has increased, the first 19 products of the list in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 673/2005 should be added to the list set out in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 673/2005. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

Since the level of nullification or impairment and consequently of suspension has increased, the first 19 products of the list in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 673/2005 should be added to the list set out in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 673/2005.

| (4) | The effect of a 15 % ad valorem additional import duty on imports from the United States of the products in the amended Annex I represents, over 1 year, a value of trade that does not exceed USD 95,83 million. |
| --- | --- |

(4)

The effect of a 15 % ad valorem additional import duty on imports from the United States of the products in the amended Annex I represents, over 1 year, a value of trade that does not exceed USD 95,83 million.

| (5) | Article 6(1) and 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 673/2005 contain specific exemptions from the additional import duty. Since the applicability of those exemptions is dependent on certain conditions being met before the entry into force or on the date of application of Regulation (EC) No 673/2005, the exemptions cannot in practice apply for imports of the 19 products added by this Regulation to the list in Annex I. Specific provisions should therefore be adopted to make these exemptions effective for imports of those products. |

Article 6(1) and 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 673/2005 contain specific exemptions from the additional import duty. Since the applicability of those exemptions is dependent on certain conditions being met before the entry into force or on the date of application of Regulation (EC) No 673/2005, the exemptions cannot in practice apply for imports of the 19 products added by this Regulation to the list in Annex I. Specific provisions should therefore be adopted to make these exemptions effective for imports of those products.

| (6) | To avoid circumvention of the additional duty, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication. |

(7)

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on trade retaliation,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
