THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 May 2009 laying down Community                           procedures for the establishment of residue limits of pharmacologically active substances in foodstuffs of animal origin,                           repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 and amending Directive 2001/82/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council                           and Regulation (EC) No 726/2004 of the European Parliament and the Council(1), and in particular Article 14 in conjunction with Article 17 thereof,                        

Having regard to the opinion of the European Medicines Agency formulated by the Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary                           Use,                        

Whereas:

(1)The maximum residue limit (hereinafter ‘MRL’) for pharmacologically active substances intended for use in the Union in veterinary                              medicinal products for food-producing animals or in biocidal products used in animal husbandry is to be established in accordance                              with Regulation (EC) No 470/2009.

(2)Pharmacologically active substances and their classification regarding MRLs in foodstuffs of animal origin are set out in                              the Annex to Commission Regulation (EU) No 37/2010(2).

(3)An application for the establishment of maximum residue limits for cabergoline in bovine species has been submitted to the                              European Medicines Agency.

(4)The Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use recommended the establishment of a MRL for cabergoline for bovine                              species, applicable to fat, liver, kidney, muscle and milk.

(5)In accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 the European Medicines Agency is to consider using MRLs established                              for a pharmacologically active substance in a particular foodstuff for another foodstuff derived from the same species, or                              MRLs established for a pharmacologically active substance in one or more species for other species.

(6)The Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use concluded that the extrapolation to other food producing species cannot                              be supported for this substance.

(7)Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 should therefore be amended to include the substance cabergoline for bovine species.

(8)It is appropriate to provide for a reasonable period of time for the stakeholders concerned to take measures that may be required                              to comply with the newly set MRL.

(9)The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Veterinary Medicinal                              Products,
