24.10.2014 Official Journal of the European Union L 305/47 COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 1127/2014 of 20 October 2014 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 amitrole, dinocap, fipronil, flufenacet, pendi- methalin, propyzamide, and pyridate 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 14(1)(a) and Articles 18(4) and 49(2) thereof, Whereas: (1)  For amitrole, flufenacet, pendimethalin, propyzamide and pyridate, maximum residue levels (MRLs) were set in Annex II and Part B of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. For dinocap and fipronil, MRLs were set in Part A of Annex III to that Regulation. (2)  For amitrole, the European Food Safety Authority, hereinafter ‘the Authority’, submitted a reasoned opinion on the existing MRLs in accordance with Article 12(2) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 in conjunction with Article 12(1) thereof (%). The Authority concluded that concerning the MRLs in citrus fruits, almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts, pome fruits, stone fruits, table and wine grapes, currants, gooseberries, table olives and olives for oil production some information was not available and that further consideration by risk managers was required. As there is no risk for consumers, MRLs for those products should be set in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 at the existing level or the level identified by the Authority. Those MRLs will be reviewed; the review will take into account the information available within two years from the publication of this Regulation. (3)  For dinocap, the Authority submitted a reasoned opinion on the existing MRLs in accordance with Article 12(2) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 in conjunction with Article 12(1) thereof (}). All existing authorisations for plant protection products containing the active substance dinocap have been revoked. It is therefore appropriate to set the MRLs at the specific limit of determination or the level of Codex MRLs which are safe for consumers in the Union. It is also appropriate to change the residue definition. (4)  The Authority indicated that the existing MRLs for dinocap in wine grapes and melons may raise concerns of consumer protection. The MRLs for those products should be set at the specific limit of determination or at the default MRL as set out in Article 18(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. (5)  For fipronil, the Authority submitted a reasoned opinion on the existing MRLs in accordance with Article 12(2) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 in conjunction with Article 12(1) thereof (!). It recommended lowering the MRLs for flowering and head brassicas, swine, bovine, sheep and goat fat and liver, swine kidney, poultry liver and eggs. For other products it recommended raising or keeping the existing MRLs. (6)  In accordance with Article 53 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council (), Germany notified on 10 February 2012 to the Commission the temporary authorisation of plant () OJL70,16.3.2005, p. 1.
