For alachlor, anilazine, butylate, chlorthal- dimethyl, chlorthiamid, dichlobenil, dimethipin, dinicon- azole, flufenzin, lactofen, mepronil, methoprene, monuron, oxycarboxin, phosalone, propachlor, quin- clorac, trichlorfon and trifluralin MRLs were set in Part A of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. (2)  The European Food Safety Authority (the Authority) gave reasoned opinions on the existing MRLs for dicofol and propachlor pursuant to Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, examining in particular the risks to the consumer and, where relevant, to () O] L 70, 16.3.2005, p. 1. animals. Those opinions have been forwarded to the Commission and the Member States and were made available to the public. 3)  In its opinion of 22 August 2011 (?) concerning dicofol, the Authority recommends neither inclusion of that active substance in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, nor inclusion of the Codex MRLs (CXLs) in Annex II to that Regulation. However, CXLs on melons, cotton seed, tea, hops and poultry were considered acceptable with regard to consumer safety and should therefore not be deleted from Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. All other MRLs should be reduced to the relevant limit of determination (LOD). (4)  In its opinion of 28 July 2011 (}) concerning propachlor, the Authority does not recommend inclusion of that active substance in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. All MRLs should therefore be reduced to the relevant LOD. (5)  All existing authorisations for plant protection products containing the active substances referred to in recital 1 have been revoked. In accordance with Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 in conjunction with Article 14(1)(a) thereof the MRLs set out for those active substances in Annexes Il and IIl should therefore be deleted. This should not apply to those MRLs corresponding to CXLs based on uses in third countries, (%) European Food Safety Authority; Review of the existing maximum residue levels (MRLs) for dicofol according to Article 12 of Regu- lation (EC) No 396/2005.
