L 164/16 Official Journal of the European Union 3.6.2014 COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 588/2014 of 2 June 2014 amending Annexes III and IV to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards maximum residue levels for orange oil, Phlebiopsis gigantea, gibberellic acid, Paecilomyces fumosoroseus strain FE 9901, Spodoptera littoralis nucleopolyhedrovirus, Spodoptera exigua nuclear polyhedrosis virus, Bacillus firmus 1-1582, s-abscisic acid, L-ascorbic acid and Helicoverpa armigera nucleopolyhedrovirus in or on certain products (Text with EEA relevance) THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION, Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 February 2005 on maximum residue levels of pesticides in or on food and feed of plant and animal origin and amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC ('), and in particular Article 5(1) thereof, Whereas: (1)  For gibberellic acid maximum residue levels (MRLs) were set in Part A of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. For Phlebiopsis gigantea, Paecilomyces fumosoroseus strain FE 9901, Spodoptera littoralis nucleopolyhe- drovirus, Spodoptera exigua nuclear polyhedrosis virus, Bacillus firmus I-1582, orange oil, s-abscisic acid, L-ascorbic acid and Helicoverpa armigera nucleopolyhedrovirus, no specific MRLs were set nor were the substances included in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, so the default value of 0,01 mg/kg laid down in Article 18(1)(b) of that Regulation applies’. (2)  As regards Phlebiopsis gigantea (%), Paecilomyces fumosoroseus strain FE 9901 (%), Spodoptera littoralis nucleopolyhedro- virus (*), Spodoptera exigua nuclear polyhedrosis virus (°), Bacillus firmus I-1582 (%) and Helicoverpa armigera nucleo- polyhedrovirus () the European Food Safety Authority, (the Authority) concluded that these substances are not pathogenic to humans and do not require a quantitative consumer risk assessment. In view of that conclusion, the Commission considers that the inclusion of such substances in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 is appropriate. (3)  For orange oil (*), the Authority could not conclude on the dietary risk assessment for consumers as some infor- mation was not available and further consideration by risk managers was required. Orange oil is naturally occur- ring in plants and is used as a flavouring agent for medicine and food. In view of this it is considered appropriate to include this substance temporarily in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 pending submission of EFSA’s reasoned opinion in accordance with Article 12(1).
