Commission Regulation (EU) No 556/2012
of 26 June 2012
amending Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards maximum residue levels for spinosad in or on raspberries
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Whereas:
For spinosad maximum residue levels (MRLs) are set in Part A of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.
France submitted to the Commission an appropriate consumer risk assesment and proposed a temporary MRL on that basis.
The Authority concluded that the use of spinosad on raspberries, as authorised in France, is not likely to result in a consumer exposure exceeding the toxicological reference value and therefore is not expected to pose a public health concern.
Based on the statement of the Authority and taking into account the factors relevant to the matter under consideration, the appropriate modification to the MRL fulfil the requirements of Article 18(4) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.
Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly.
Given that the emergency uses of plant protection products containing spinosad are already authorized by France and the resulting urgent need to ensure a high level of consumer protection, it is appropriate to provide for the MRL by applying the procedure referred to in Article 45(5) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
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
This Regulation shall enter into force on the next 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, 26 June 2012.
For the Commission
The President
José Manuel Barroso
