What the notification says

The intended amendments to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/128 lower the maximum residue levels for some active substances laid down in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/128 in light of, on the one hand, the fact that the maximum residue levels in cattle milk laid down in Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 for certain active substances have been amended resulting in values lower than those set out by Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/128 for food for special medical purposes developed to satisfy the nutritional requirements of infants and young children and, on the other hand, the scientific opinion on pesticides in foods for infants and young children of the European Food Safety Authority. The maximum residue levels concerned are the maximum residue level for the active substance 2-amino-4-methoxy-6-(trifluormethyl)-1,3,5-triazine (AMTT), resulting from the use of tritosulfuron, and the maximum residue levels for carbofuran, chlordane, emamectin, endrin, epoxiconazole, fenamiphos, fluometuron, haloxyfop, oxamyl, phosmet, spirodiclofen and topramezone. The draft Regulation foresees a grace period of 12 months.
