L 180/26 Official Journal of the European Communities 3.7.2001 COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2001/48/EC of 28 June 2001 amending the Annexes to Council Directives 86/362/EEC and 90/642/EEC on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on cereals and certain products of plant origin, including fruit and vegetables respectively (Text with EEA relevance) THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, 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 ('), as last amended by Commission Directive 2001/39/EC (3), and in particular Article 10 thereof, Having regard to Council Directive 90/642/EEC of 27 November1990 on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on certain products of plant origin including fruit and vegetables (%), as last amended by Directive 2001/39/EC, and in particular Article 7 thereof, Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 on the placing of plant protection products on the market (¥), as last amended by Commission Directive 2001/47EC (°), and in particular Article 4(1)(f) thereof, Whereas: 1 N PSR B T Lo e N N L erefeteleleletetele The new active substances, azoxystrobin and kresoxim methyl, were included in Annex I to Directive 91/414[EEC by Commission Directives 98/47/EC () and 1999/1/EC ('), respectively, for use as fungicides only, without specifying particular conditions having an impact on crops which may be treated with plant protection products containing these active ingredients. Maximum residue levels in and on all commodities covered by Directives 86/362/EEC and 90/ 642[EEC were fixed by Commission Directives 1999/71/EC (%) and 2000/48/EC (°) for azoxystrobin residues, and by Commission Directive 2000/58/EC (%) for kresoxim methyl residues. In fixing the said maximum residue levels, it was recognised that these levels should be kept under review and should be changed to take account of new information and data. Directives 1999/71/EC, 2000/48/EC and 2000/58/EC acknowledged that national provisional maximum residue levels for other cereals and fruit and vegetables should be fixed by Member States as a part of their authorisation of plant protection products containing azoxystrobin or kresoxim methyl and should be notified to the Commission under the requirements of Article 4(1)(f) to Directive 91/414/EEC. To facilitate this eventuality, some of the levels set in Directives 1999/71/EC and 2000/48/EC and all of the levels set in Directive 2000/58/EC were fixed on a provisional basis, enabling Member States to grant further authorisations for new uses and to notify the Commission under the procedure described by the said Article. This Article provides that where a provisional Community maximum residue level exists and where the new authorised use would lead to higher levels, the authorising Member State shall establish a national provisional maximum residue level in accordance with Article 4(1)(f) of Directive 91/414/EEC before the authorisation may be granted. 221, 7.8.1986, p. 37. 148, 1.6.2001, p. 70. 350, 14.12.1990, p. 71. 230, 19.8.1991, p. 1. 175, 28.6.2001, p. 21. 191, 7.7.1998, p. 50. 21, 28.1.1999, p. 21. 194, 27.7.1999, p. 36. 197, 3.8.2000, p. 26. ] L 244, 29.9.2000, p. 78. | ol ol onll onll el el ol ol o)
