19.3.2013 Official Journal of the European Union L 75/1 (Non-legislative acts) REGULATIONS COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 241/2013 of 14 March 2013 amending Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards maximum residue levels for chlorantraniliprole, fludioxonil and prohexadione 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 (1), and in particular Article 14(1)(a) thereof, Whereas: 1 For prohexadione, maximum residue levels (MRLs) were set in Annex II and Part B of Annex Il to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. For chlorantraniliprole and fludio- xonil, MRLs were set in Part A of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. In the context of a procedure for the authorisation of the use of a plant protection product containing the active substance chlorantraniliprole on carrots, parsnips, parsley root and celeriac an application was made under Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 for modi- fication of the existing MRLs. As regards fludioxonil, such an application was made for celery, celery leaves and radishes. In accordance with Article 6(2) and (4) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 an application was made for prohex- adione on peanuts. The applicant claims that the auth- orised use of prohexadione on peanuts in the United States leads to residues exceeding the MRLs in Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 and that higher MRLs are necessary to avoid trade barriers for the importation of this crop. () O] L 70, 16.3.2005, p. 1. () ¢ In accordance with Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 these applications were evaluated by the Member States concerned and the evaluation reports were forwarded to the Commission. The European Food Safety Authority, hereinafter "the Authority", assessed the applications and the evaluation reports, examining in particular the risks to the consumer and where relevant to animals and gave reasoned opinions on the proposed MRLs (?). It forwarded these opinions to the Commission and the Member States and made them available to the public. The Authority concluded in its reasoned opinion that, as regards the use of fludioxonil on radishes, the submitted residue trials were not performed according to the supported Good Agricultural Practice. As regards all other applications, the Authority concluded that all requirements with respect to data were met and that the modifications to the MRLs requested by the applicants were acceptable with regard to consumer safety on the basis of a consumer exposure assessment for 27 specific European consumer groups. It took into account the most recent information on the toxicological properties of the substances. Neither the lifetime exposure to these substances via consumption of all food products that may contain these substances, nor the short-term exposure due to extreme consumption of the relevant crops and products EFSA scientific reports available online: http:/[www.efsa.europa.eu: Reasoned opinion on the modification of the existing MRLs for chlorantraniliprole in carrots, parsnips, parsley root and celeriac.
