COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 178/2006
of 1 February 2006
amending Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council to establish Annex I listing the food and feed products to which maximum levels for pesticide residues apply
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 February 2005 on maximum residue levels of pesticides in and on food and feed of plant and animal origin and amending Council Directive 91/414/EE (1), and in particular Article 4(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, Annexes I, II, III and IV to that Regulation are to be established by the Commission, their establishment being a condition for the application of Chapters II, III and V of that Regulation.
(2)
It is necessary to include in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 all products for which presently Community or national MRLs exist as well as those for which it is appropriate to apply harmonised MRLs.
(3)
Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health.
(5)
Individual MRLs have not yet been required for fish, and for crops exclusively meant for animal feed, and no information is available as a basis for setting MRLs. It is appropriate to allow for the time needed to generate or collect this information. It is considered that a time period of three years should be sufficient to generate or collect this information,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The text in the Annex to this Regulation is added as Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following 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.

CROPS EXCLUSIVELY USED FOR ANIMAL FEED (8)
(1) The code number is introduced by this Annex and is intended to set a classification under this and other related Annexes of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.
(2) The scientific name of the items listed in the column “Examples of individual products within the groups to which the MRLs apply”, where possible and relevant, is mentioned. As much as possible the International System of Nomenclature is followed.
(3) The word “others” covers anything not explicitly mentioned under the rest of the codes within “Groups to which the MRLs apply”.
(4) MRLs in Annex II and III for the product apply only for the product when used for human consumption. For parts of the product used exclusively as ingredients for animal feed, separate MRLs will be applicable.
(5) Where the pesticide and/or metabolites (included in the residue definition) is/are water soluble (log Pow less than 3) the MRL is expressed as mg/kg of meat (including fat), preparations of meat, offal and animal fats. Where the pesticide and/or metabolite (included in the residue definition) is/are fat soluble (log Pow greater than or equal to 3) the MRL is expressed as mg/kg of fat contained in the meat, preparations of meat, offal and animal fats. In the case of foodstuffs with a fat content of 10 % or less by weight, the residue is related to the total weight of the boned foodstuff. In such cases, the maximum level is one-tenth of the value related to fat content, but must be no less than 0,01 mg/kg. The latter does not apply for cow’s milk and whole cream cow’s milk. It applies neither for the other products when the MRL is set at the LOD.
(6) Where the pesticide and/or metabolites (included in the residue definition) is /are water soluble (log Pow less than 3) the MRL is expressed as mg/kg of milk and milk products. Where the pesticide and/or metabolite (included in the residue definition) is/are fat soluble (log Pow greater than or equal to 3) the MRL is expressed as mg/kg of cow's milk and whole cream cow's milk. In determining the residues in raw cow's milk and whole cream cow's milk, a fat content of 4 % by weight should be taken as a basis. For raw milk and whole cream milk of another animal origin the residues are expressed on the basis of the fat. For the other foodstuffs listed with a fat content of less than 2 % by weight, the maximum level is taken as half that set for raw milk and whole cream milk, with a fat content of 2 % or more by weight, the maximum level is expressed in mg/kg of fat. In such cases, the maximum level is 25 times that set for raw milk and whole cream milk. The latter does not apply when the MRL is set at the LOD.
(7) Where the pesticide and/or metabolites (included in the residue definition) is/are water soluble (log Pow less than 3) the MRL is expressed as mg/kg of shelled fresh eggs, for bird's eggs and egg yolks; Where the pesticide/or metabolite (included in the residue definition) is/are fat soluble (log Pow greater than or equal to 3) the MRL is also expressed as mg/kg of shelled fresh eggs, for bird's eggs and egg yolks. However, for eggs and egg products with a fat content higher than 10 %, the maximum level is expressed in mg/kg fat. In this case, the maximum level is 10 times higher than the maximum level for fresh eggs. The latter does not apply when the MRL is set at the LOD.
(8) MRLs not applicable until the individual products are identified and listed.’
