(9)The approval of the active substance S-metolachlor expired on 22 January 2024. The approval of this active substance was not renewed by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/20note as the approval criteria as set out in Article 4(1) to (3) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 were not satisfied. All existing authorisations for plant protection products containing S-metolachlor have been revoked. No CXLs or import tolerances exist for that substance. The MRLs for S-metolachlor on all products are currently set at the product-specific LODs. It is therefore appropriate to delete the MRLs set out for this substance in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 and to set MRLs for S-metolachlor on all products at the product-specific LODs in Annex V to that Regulation. Additionally, there is no longer a need for confirmatory data. Therefore, all footnotes containing requests for confirmatory data should be deleted.
