(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 the proposed use. Information relating to that use has been submitted () O] L 221, 7.8.1986, p. 37. Directive as last amended by Commission Directive 2007/57[EC (O] L 243, 18.9.2007, p. 61).

() O] L 104, 13.4.2006, p. 30. by certain Member States in accordance with Article 4(1)(f) of that Directive. The information available has been reviewed and is sufficient to allow certain maximum residue levels (MRLs) to be fixed. (3)  Where no Community MRL or provisional MRL exists, Member States are to establish a national provisional MRL in accordance with Article 4(1)(f) of Directive 91/414/EEC before plant protection products containing these active substances may be authorised. (4)  Community MRLs and the levels recommended by the Codex Alimentarius are fixed and evaluated following similar procedures. There are a number of Codex MRLs for bifenazate. The MRLs based on Codex MRLs have been evaluated in the light of the risks for the consumers. No risk was established when using the toxi- cological end points based on the studies available to the Commission. (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 substance concerned has been assessed in accordance with Community procedures. Account has also been taken of guidelines published by the World Health Organi- sation (%) and the opinion of the Scientific Committee for Plants (%) on the methodology employed. It is concluded that MRLs proposed will not lead to those ADIs or ARID being exceeded.
