COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) 2016/46 of 18 January 2016 amending Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards maximum residue levels for oxadixyl and spinetoram 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), Article 16(1)(a), and Article 49(2) thereof,
Whereas:

(1) For oxadixyl and spinetoram, maximum residue limits (MRLs) were set in Part A of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.

(2) As regards oxadixyl, Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, as amended by Commission Regulation (EU) No 592/2012, establishes temporary MRLs for several products due to the persistence of the active substance in soil. The Commission invited Member States to share monitoring data on the occurrence of the substance in the products concerned. The submitted data show that residues no longer occur in leeks and in the group of root and tuber vegetables at levels above the relevant limits of determination. It is therefore appropriate to lower the temporary MRLs to such values. In contrast, residues of oxadixyl still occur in parsley, celeries and in the group of lettuces and salad plants. Monitoring data show that a temporary MRL of 0,05 mg/kg adequately addresses the occurrence of oxadixyl in those commodities. It is therefore appropriate to lower those temporary MRLs to a value of 0,05 mg/kg. Those MRLs will be reviewed; the review will take into account the information available within two years from the publication of this Regulation.

(3) As regards spinetoram, the MRL set by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (CXL) for meat from mammals other than marine mammals was included in Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 by Commission Regulation (EU) No 459/2010. Commission Regulation (EU) No 212/2013 replaced Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. In particular, it replaced in that Annex I the entry for ‘mammalian meat’ by the entry for ‘mammalian muscle’ (codes 1011010, 1012010, 1013010, 1014010, 1015010 and 1017010). At that time, the MRLs were not adapted to reflect the changed categories. Since the substance is fat soluble and residues are expected in fat matrices, it is appropriate to provide for such adaptation by correcting the MRLs for the groups of mammalian fat tissue and mammalian muscle.

(4) Through the World Trade Organisation, the trading partners of the Union were consulted on the new MRLs and their comments have been taken into account.

(5) Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(6) In order to allow for the normal marketing, processing and consumption of products, this Regulation should provide for a transitional arrangement for products which have been produced before the modification of the MRLs made by this Regulation and for which information shows that a high level of consumer protection is maintained.

(7) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before the modified MRLs become applicable in order to permit Member States, third countries and food business operators to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements which will result from the modification of the MRLs.

(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1 
Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
Article 2 
Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 as it stood before being amended by this Regulation shall continue to apply to products which were produced before 8 February 2016.
Article 3 
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.Done at Brussels, 18 January 2016.
For the Commission
The President
Jean-Claude JUNCKER

Oxadixyl
(+) Recent monitoring data show that residues of oxadixyl occur in lettuces and salad plants. It is therefore appropriate to set temporary MRLs at a value of 0,05 mg/kg, pending the submission of further monitoring data. When reviewing the MRLs, the Commission will take into account the information, if it is submitted by 19 January 2018, or, if that information is not submitted by that date, the lack of it.0251000lettuces and salad plants0251010Lamb's lettuces/corn salads0251020Lettuces0251030Escaroles/broad-leaved endives0251040Cresses and other sprouts and shoots0251050Land cresses0251060Roman rocket/rucola0251070Red mustards0251080Baby leaf crops (including brassica species)0251990Others
