() OJ L 120, 24.4.2004, p. 26. (2)  The inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of the active substances concerned was based on the assessment of the information submitted concerning their proposed use. Information relating to that use has been submitted by certain Member States in accordance with Article 4(1)(f) of Directive 91/414[EEC. The information available has been reviewed and is sufficient to allow certain maximum residue levels (MRLs) to be fixed. (3)  For chlorfenvinphos it has been decided by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2076/2002 (7) not to include that sub- stance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Certain Mem- ber States are allowed to maintain certain authorisations for the use of products containing chlorfenvinphos in force until 30 June 2007. (4)  There are already Community MRLs for chlorfenvinphos in Directive 76/895/EEC. They should be taken into con- sideration when setting the MRLs for chlorfenvinphos in Directive 90/642[EEC. (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 (ARID) for those substances. The exposure of consumers of food products treated with the active substances con- cerned has been assessed in accordance with Community procedures. Account has also been taken of guidelines published by the World Health Organization (%) and the opinion of the Scientific Committee for Plants (°) on the methodology employed. It is concluded that MRLs pro- posed will not lead to those ADIs or ARfD being exceeded. (’) OJ L 319, 23.11.2002, p. 3.
