Annexes to "Draft Commission Regulation amending
Annexes II and III and V to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament
and of the Council as regards maximum residue levels for fluopyram,
hexachlorociclohexane (HCH), alpha-isomer, hexachlorociclohexane (HCH), beta-isomer,
hexachlorociclohexane (HCH), sum of isomers, except the gamma isomer, lindane
(hexachlorociclohexane (HCH), gamma-isomer), nicotine and profenofos in or on certain
products (Text with EEA relevance)".

These notified annexes to the draft Regulation set proposed
maximum residue levels for fluopyram, hexachlorociclohexane (HCH), alpha-isomer,
hexachlorociclohexane (HCH), beta-isomer, hexachlorociclohexane (HCH), sum of
isomers, except the gamma isomer, lindane (hexachlorociclohexane (HCH), gammaisomer),
nicotine and profenofos in or on certain products in Annex II and V to
Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. MRLs for these substances in certain commodities are
changed: either increased, lowered, or deleted. Higher MRLs are set to accommodate
new uses in the European Union and in third countries which export those commodities
to the European Union. Lower MRLs are set after updating the limit of determination
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. Deleted MRLs for
hexachlorociclohexane (HCH), sum of isomers, except the gamma isomer are replaced
by specific MRLs for hexachlorociclohexane (HCH), alpha-isomer and
hexachlorociclohexane (HCH) beta-isomer.
