L 27910 Official Journal of the European Union 19.10.2013 COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 1004/2013 of 15 October 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 8-hydroxyquinoline, cyproconazole, cyprodinil, fluopyram, nicotine, pendimethalin, penthiopyrad and trifloxystrobin 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) thereof, Whereas: For pendimethalin and trifloxystrobin maximum residue levels (MRLs) were set in Annex II and Part B of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. For cyproconazole, cyprodinil, fluopyram, nicotine and penthiopyrad MRLs were set in Part A of Annex IIl to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. For 8-hydroxyquinoline, no specific MRLs were set in Annex Il and Il nor was the substance included in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, so the default value of 0.01 mg/kg applies. In the context of a procedure for the authorisation of the use of a plant protection product containing the active substance 8-hydroxyquinoline on tomatoes, an appli- cation was made in accordance with Article 6(1) of Regu- lation (EC) No 396/2005 for modification of the existing MRL. As regards cyproconazole, such an application was made for mustard seed and gold of pleasure. As regards cyprodinil, such an application was made for radishes and cucurbits (inedible peel). As regards pendimethalin, such an application was made for salsify, celeriac, swedes, turnips, celery and herbal infusions (roots). As regards trifloxystrobin, such an application was made for beans (with pods). 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. () O] L 70, 16.3.2005, p. 1. ©) ) 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 opinions that, as regards the use of cyproconazole on mustard seed and gold of pleasure, the submitted data are sufficient to set new MRLs for the northern EU use only. As regards the use of pendimethalin on celeriac, swedes, turnips and celery, the Authority concluded that the submitted data are not sufficient to set new MRLs. 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 high consumption of the relevant crops and products showed that there is a risk that the acceptable daily intake (ADI) or the acute reference dose (ARID) is exceeded. As regards penthiopyrad the applicant submitted further data confirming that the metabolism of penthiopyrad in genetically modified crop is comparable to the one EFSA scientific reports available online: http://www.efsa.europa.eu: Reasoned opinion on the modification of the existing MRL for 8- hydroxyquinoline in tomatoes.
