Commission Regulation (EU) 2019/88
of 18 January 2019
amending Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards maximum residue levels for acetamiprid in certain products
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Whereas:
For acetamiprid, maximum residue levels (MRLs) were set in Annex II 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 acetamiprid on table olives and olives for oil production, an application was submitted in accordance with Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 for modification of the existing MRLs.
Such an application was also submitted for the use of acetamiprid on barley and oats.
In accordance with Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, those applications were evaluated by the Member States concerned and the evaluation reports were forwarded to the Commission.
The Authority concluded in its reasoned opinion that all requirements with respect to data were met and that the modifications to the MRLs requested by the applicant were acceptable with regard to consumer safety on the basis of a consumer exposure assessment for 27 specific European consumer groups. The Authority took into account the most recent information on the toxicological properties of the substance. Neither the lifetime exposure to this substance via consumption of all food products that may contain it, nor the short-term exposure due to high consumption of the relevant products showed that there is a risk that the acceptable daily intake or the acute reference dose is exceeded.
In accordance with Article 43 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the Commission requested the Authority to assess the risks the current MRLs for acetamiprid may pose to consumers in the light of the resulting lower acute reference dose (ARfD).
As regards escaroles, the Authority concluded that some information was not available and that further consideration by risk managers was required. As there is no risk for consumers in relation to the fall-back GAP, the MRL for that product should be set in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 at the level identified by the Authority. This MRL will be reviewed; the review will take into account the information available within two years from the publication of this Regulation.
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.
Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly.
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.
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 II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 13 August 2019.
However, for acetamiprid in olives for oil production, table olives, barley and oats, it shall apply from 13 February 2019.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
Done at Brussels, 18 January 2019.
For the Commission
The President
Jean-Claude Juncker
