| 6. | Description of content: Proposed maximum residue levels (MRLs) for cyromazine are set in Annex II and Part B of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. MRLs for cyromazine in certain commodities are changed: either increased or lowered. Higher MRLs are set to accommodate new uses in the European Union and in third countries which export those commodities to the European Union. The lower MRLs are set after updating the limit of determinations and/or deleting old uses which are not authorized any more in the European Union or for which, there is not enough data for an MRL to be set. |
| 7. | Objective and rationale: [X] food safety, [ ] animal health, [ ] plant protection, [ ] protect humans from animal/plant pest or disease, [ ] protect territory from other damage from pests. |
| 8. | Is there a relevant international standard? If so, identify the standard:
[X] Codex Alimentarius Commission (e.g. title or serial number of Codex standard or related text) Codex Maximum Residue Limits for cyromazine for some commodities. [ ] World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) (e.g. Terrestrial or Aquatic Animal Health Code, chapter number) [ ] International Plant Protection Convention (e.g. ISPM number) [ ] None Does this proposed regulation conform to the relevant international standard? [ ] Yes [X] No If no, describe, whenever possible, how and why it deviates from the international standard: The European Food Safety Authority published a reasoned opinion on the existing MRLs for cyromazine. Based on this opinion the Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 should therefore be amended. |
