Description

These notified annexes to the draft Regulation set proposed maximum residue levels for 3-decen-2-one, acibenzolar-S-methyl and hexachlorobenzene in Annex II, III and V to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. MRLs for these substances 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. 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.
