(4)For emamectin, the Authority submitted a reasoned opinion on the existing MRLs in accordance with Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005note. It proposed to change the residue definition to emamectin B1a and its salts, expressed as emamectin B1a (free base). It recommended lowering the MRLs for plums, potatoes, cucumbers, gherkins, courgettes, melons, watermelons, broccoli, cauliflowers, Brussels sprouts, head cabbages, lamb’s lettuces/ corn salads, lettuces, cresses and other sprouts and shoots, land cresses, Roman rocket/ rucola, red mustards, baby leaf crops (including brassica species), chervil, chives, celery leaves, parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme, basil and edible flowers, laurel/bay leaves, tarragon, peas (without pods) and globe artichokes. For other products, the Authority recommended raising or keeping the existing MRLs. The MRLs for those products should be set in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 at the existing level or the level identified by the Authority. The Authority further concluded that concerning the MRLs for oranges, lemons, mandarins, table and wine grapes, pumpkins, escarole/broad-leaved endives, cotton seeds, swine (muscle, fat, liver, kidney), bovine (muscle, fat, liver, kidney), sheep (muscle, fat, liver, kidney), goat (muscle, fat, liver, kidney), equine (muscle, fat, liver, kidney), other farmed terrestrial animals (muscle, fat, liver, kidney) and milk (cattle, sheep, goat, horse) some information was not available and that further consideration by risk managers was required. As there is no risk for consumers, the MRLs for those products should be set in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 at the existing level or the level identified by the Authority. These MRLs will be reviewed; the review will take into account the information available within two years from the publication of this Regulation. The Authority also concluded that concerning the MRL for apricots some information was not available. An application pursuant to Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 requesting a modification of the existing MRLs was submitted among other products also for apricots. The Authority in its opinionnote concluded that all requirements with respect to completeness of data submission were met, and that the modification to the MRL for apricots requested by the applicant was acceptable. This modification has been addressed in the Commission Regulation (EU) 2022/476note and therefore the additional information for apricots is not needed.
