Description

The proposed draft Regulation concerns the review of existing MRLs for denatonium benzoate, diuron, etoxazole, methomyl and teflubenzuron in certain food commodities following the non-approval of these substances for use on edible crops in the European Union. MRLs for these substances in certain commodities are lowered. Lower MRLs are set after deleting old uses which are not authorised any more in the European Union and for which a human health concern may not be excluded.
