For quizalofop-P-ethyl and quizalofop-P-tefuryl, expressed as quizalofop, including quizalofop-P, MRLs were set in Part A of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. For bispyribac and denatonium benzoate no MRLs were set in Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, and as these active substances are not included in Annex IV to that Regulation, the default value of 0,01 mg/kg laid down in Article 18(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 applies. (2) For bispyribac the European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’), submitted a reasoned opinion on the existing MRLs in accordance with Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 (2). It recommended setting a MRL for rice. No other authorisations exist for this substance. As there is no risk for consumers, the MRLs for all other commodities should be set in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 at the specific limit of determination (LOD). (3) For denatonium benzoate the Authority submitted a reasoned opinion on the existing MRLs in accordance with Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 (3). All existing authorisations for plant protection products containing denatonium benzoate are restricted only to uses as repellent in forestry and are not intended for direct application on edible crops. As there is no risk for consumers, MRLs should be set in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 at the specific LOD. (4) For fenoxycarb the Authority submitted a reasoned opinion on the existing MRLs in accordance with Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 (4). It recommended lowering the MRLs for apples, pears, quinces, medlars, loquats/Japanese medlars, plums, table grapes, wine grapes, bovine (muscle, fat, liver, kidney), sheep (muscle, fat, liver, kidney), goat (muscle, fat, liver, kidney), equine (muscle, fat, liver, kidney) and milk (cattle, sheep, goat, horse). For other products, it recommended keeping the existing MRLs. The Authority concluded that concerning the MRLs for oranges, lemons, mandarins, apricots and table olives 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 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. (1) OJ L 70, 16.3.2005, p. 1.

The Authority proposed to change the residue definition. It recommended lowering the MRLs for potatoes, carrots, celeriacs/turnip rooted celeries, parsnips, sunflower seeds and cotton seeds. It concluded that concerning the MRLs for parsley roots/Hamburg roots parsley, maize/corn, wheat, 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), milk (sheep, goat) some information was not available and that further consideration by risk managers was required.
