Draft Commission Regulation (EU) amending Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards maximum residue levels for zoxamide in or on certain products (Text with EEA Relevance). Language(s): English. Number of pages: 12

The proposed draft Regulation concerns the update of existing MRLs for zoxamide in certain food products.

The European Food Safety Authority ('the Authority') submitted a reasoned opinion on the review of the existing MRLs for that active substance in accordance with Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 and setting of an import tolerance for onions, garlic and shallots.

MRLs for zoxamide in certain commodities are changed based on this reasoned opinion. Codex MRLs are maintained and MRLs for certain commodities are lowered. Lower MRLs are set after deleting old uses which are not authorized any more in the European Union and for which a human health concern may not be excluded.
