COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 184/2007

of 20 February 2007

concerning the authorisation of potassium diformate (Formi LHS) as a feed additive

(text with EEA relevance)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation.

| (2) | In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the authorisation of the preparation set out in the Annex. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of that Regulation. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the authorisation of the preparation set out in the Annex. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of that Regulation.

| (3) | The application concerns authorisation of the preparation of potassium diformate (Formi LHS) as a feed additive for piglets (weaned) and pigs for fattening, to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

The application concerns authorisation of the preparation of potassium diformate (Formi LHS) as a feed additive for piglets (weaned) and pigs for fattening, to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’.

| (4) | The method of analysis included in the application for authorisation in accordance with Article 7(3)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 concerns the determination of the active substance of the feed additive in feed. The method of analysis referred to in the Annex to this Regulation is therefore not to be understood as a Community method of analysis within the meaning of Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on official controls performed to ensure the verification of compliance with feed and food law, animal health and animal welfare rules (2). |

| (5) | The European Food Safety Authority (the Authority) concludes in its opinion of 14 February 2006 (3) that the safety of this additive for the consumer, the user and the environment have already been established and will not be changed by the proposed use. It further concludes, that the use of the preparation does not have an adverse effect on this animal category and that the use of that preparation can improve the zootechnical parameters (average daily intake gain, feed to gain ratio) for piglets (weaned) and pigs for fattening. It considers that the post market monitoring plan provided by the applicant is appropriate. The opinion of the Authority recommends appropriate measures for user safety. This opinion also verifies the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Community Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. |

| (6) | New data were submitted in support of the application for authorisation for horses. The European Food Safety Authority (the Authority) concluded in its opinion of 12 September 2006 that the preparation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (NCYC Sc 47) does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment (9). It further concluded that the preparation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (NCYC Sc 47) does not present any other risk for this additional animal category which would, in accordance with Article 5(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, exclude authorisation. According to that opinion, the use of that preparation is efficacious in improving fibre digestion in horses. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post market monitoring. This opinion also verifies the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Community Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. The assessment of that preparation shows that the conditions for authorisation, provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that preparation should be authorised, as specified in the Annex to this Regulation. |

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2007/8/EC

of 20 February 2007

amending Annexes to Council Directives 76/895/EEC, 86/362/EEC and 90/642/EEC as regards maximum residue levels for phosphamidon and mevinphos

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 76/895/EEC of 23 November 1976 relating to the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on fruit and vegetables (1), and in particular Article 5 thereof,

Having regard to Council Directive 86/362/EEC of 24 July 1986 on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on cereals (2), and in particular Article 10 thereof,

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 (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | In the case of cereals and products of plant origin including fruit and vegetables, residue levels reflect the use of minimum quantities of pesticides necessary to achieve effective protection of plants, applied in such a manner that the amount of residue is as low as is practicable and toxicologically acceptable, having regard, in particular to the protection of the environment and the estimated dietary intake of consumers. In the case of foodstuffs of animal origin, residue levels reflect the consumption by animals of cereals and products of plant origin treated with pesticides and, where relevant, the direct consequences of the use of veterinary medicines. Community maximum residue levels (MRLs) represent the upper limit of the amount of such residues that might be expected to be found in commodities when good agricultural practices have been respected. |
| --- | --- |

In the case of cereals and products of plant origin including fruit and vegetables, residue levels reflect the use of minimum quantities of pesticides necessary to achieve effective protection of plants, applied in such a manner that the amount of residue is as low as is practicable and toxicologically acceptable, having regard, in particular to the protection of the environment and the estimated dietary intake of consumers. In the case of foodstuffs of animal origin, residue levels reflect the consumption by animals of cereals and products of plant origin treated with pesticides and, where relevant, the direct consequences of the use of veterinary medicines. Community maximum residue levels (MRLs) represent the upper limit of the amount of such residues that might be expected to be found in commodities when good agricultural practices have been respected.

| (2) | MRLs for pesticides are kept under review and changed to take account of new information and data. 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 by the necessary data. |

| (3) | The Commission was informed that for phosphamidon and mevinphos current MRLs may need to be revised in the light of the availability of new information on the toxicology and consumer intake. The Commission asked the relevant rapporteur Member States to make proposals for the review of Community MRLs. Such proposals were submitted to the Commission. |

The Commission asked the relevant rapporteur Member States to make proposals for the review of Community MRLs. Such proposals were submitted to the Commission.

| (4) | The lifetime and short-term exposure of consumers to the pesticides referred to in this Directive via food products has been reassessed and evaluated in accordance with Community procedures and practices, taking account of guidelines published by the World Health Organisation (4). On that basis, it is appropriate to fix new MRLs, which will ensure that there is no unacceptable consumer exposure. |

| (5) | Where relevant, the acute exposure of consumers to those pesticides via each of the food products that may contain residues has been assessed and evaluated in accordance with Community procedures and practices, taking account of guidelines published by the World Health Organisation. It is concluded that the presence of pesticide residues at or below the new MRLs will not cause acute toxic effects. |

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2007/9/EC

of 20 February 2007

amending the Annexe to Council Directive 90/642/EEC as regards maximum residue levels for aldicarb

(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,

Whereas:

| (1) | In the case of cereals and products of plant origin including fruit and vegetables, residue levels reflect the use of minimum quantities of pesticides necessary to achieve effective protection of plants, applied in such a manner that the amount of residue is as low as is practicable and toxicologically acceptable, having regard, in particular to the protection of the environment and the estimated dietary intake of consumers. Community maximum residue levels (MRLs) represent the upper limit of the amount of such residues that might be expected to be found in commodities when good agricultural practices have been respected. |

Community maximum residue levels (MRLs) represent the upper limit of the amount of such residues that might be expected to be found in commodities when good agricultural practices have been respected.

| (2) | MRLs for pesticides are kept under review and changed to take account of new information and data. 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 by the necessary data. |

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2007/10/EC

of 21 February 2007

amending Annex II to Council Directive 92/119/EEC as regards the measures to be taken within a protection zone following an outbreak of swine vesicular disease

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 92/119/EEC of 17 December 1992 introducing general Community measures for the control of certain animal diseases and specific measures relating to swine vesicular disease (1), and in particular Article 24(2) thereof,

Having regard to Council Directive 2002/99/EC of 16 December 2002 laying down the animal health rules governing the production, processing, distribution and introduction of products of animal origin for human consumption (2), and in particular of Article 4(3) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Directive 92/119/EEC lays down measures for the control of certain animal diseases. Specific provisions for swine vesicular disease are laid down in Annex II to that Directive. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Directive 92/119/EEC lays down measures for the control of certain animal diseases. Specific provisions for swine vesicular disease are laid down in Annex II to that Directive.

| (2) | Since Council Directives 72/461/EEC (3) and 80/215/EEC (4) have been repealed with effect from 1 January 2006, references to those Directives contained in Directive 92/119/EEC should be replaced by references to Annexes II and III to Directive 2002/99/EC. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

Since Council Directives 72/461/EEC (3) and 80/215/EEC (4) have been repealed with effect from 1 January 2006, references to those Directives contained in Directive 92/119/EEC should be replaced by references to Annexes II and III to Directive 2002/99/EC.

| (3) | It is appropriate to provide for a specific solution with respect to the marking of meat and its subsequent use, as well as the destination of the processed products, where the swine vesicular disease health situation so permits, provided that this is done in such a way that the degree of protection from swine vesicular by intra-Community trade or international trade is not impaired. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

It is appropriate to provide for a specific solution with respect to the marking of meat and its subsequent use, as well as the destination of the processed products, where the swine vesicular disease health situation so permits, provided that this is done in such a way that the degree of protection from swine vesicular by intra-Community trade or international trade is not impaired.

| (4) | Certain Member States have informed the Commission that the identification mark provided for in Annex II to Directive 2002/99/EC is poorly accepted by operators and customers in the industry. Accordingly, it is appropriate to provide for an alternative identification mark that Member States may decide to apply. However, in the interests of controls, it is important that Member States inform the Commission beforehand, if they decide to apply the alternative identification mark in case of an outbreak of swine vesicular disease. |
| --- | --- |

(4)

Certain Member States have informed the Commission that the identification mark provided for in Annex II to Directive 2002/99/EC is poorly accepted by operators and customers in the industry. Accordingly, it is appropriate to provide for an alternative identification mark that Member States may decide to apply. However, in the interests of controls, it is important that Member States inform the Commission beforehand, if they decide to apply the alternative identification mark in case of an outbreak of swine vesicular disease.

| (5) | The alternative identification mark provided for in this Directive should be clearly distinguishable from other identification marks to be applied to pig meat in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (5) or Commission Regulation (EC) No 2076/2005 of 5 December 2005 laying down transitional arrangements for the implementation of Regulations (EC) No 853/2004, (EC) No 854/2004 and (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council and amending Regulations (EC) No 853/2004 and (EC) No 854/2004 (6). |
| --- | --- |

(5)

The alternative identification mark provided for in this Directive should be clearly distinguishable from other identification marks to be applied to pig meat in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (5) or Commission Regulation (EC) No 2076/2005 of 5 December 2005 laying down transitional arrangements for the implementation of Regulations (EC) No 853/2004, (EC) No 854/2004 and (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council and amending Regulations (EC) No 853/2004 and (EC) No 854/2004 (6).

| (6) | Unlike the general provisions of Article 13 of Directive 92/119/EEC, the specific provisions for swine vesicular disease in Annex II to that Directive do not provide for an authorisation to remove the animals from a holding within the protection zone in case the removal prohibition is maintained beyond 30 days because of the occurrence of further cases of the disease. It is appropriate to provide for such derogation for holdings in which the keeping of animals for longer periods than 30 days would cause problems. |

| (5) | The Commission review reports which were prepared for the inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of the active substances concerned, fixed the Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) and if necessary, the Acute Reference Dose (ARfD) for those substances. The exposure of consumers of food products treated with the active substance concerned has been assessed and evaluated in accordance with Community procedures. Account has also been taken of guidelines published by the World Health Organisation (9) and the opinion of the Scientific Committee for Plants (10) on the methodology employed. It has been concluded that the MRLs proposed will not lead to those ADIs or ARfD being exceeded. |

In order to ensure that the consumer is adequately protected from exposure to residues resulting from unauthorised uses of plant protection products, provisional MRLs should be set for the relevant product/pesticide combinations at the lower limit of analytical determination.

| (7) | The setting at Community level of such provisional MRLs does not prevent the Member States from establishing provisional MRLs for the substances concerned in accordance with Article 4(1)(f) of Directive 91/414/EEC and Annex VI to that Directive. It is considered that a period of four years is sufficient to permit the development of further uses of the active substance concerned. The provisional MRL should then become definitive. |

It is considered that a period of four years is sufficient to permit the development of further uses of the active substance concerned. The provisional MRL should then become definitive.

| (8) | It is therefore necessary to modify the MRLs set out in the Annexes to Directives 86/362/EEC, 86/363/EEC and 90/642/EEC, to allow for proper surveillance and control of the prohibition of their uses and to protect the consumer. Where MRLs have already been defined in the Annexes to those Directives, it is appropriate to amend them. Where MRLs have not already been defined, it is appropriate to set them for the first time. |
