amending Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards Streptomyces K61 (formerly S. griseoviridis), Candida oleophila strain O, FEN 560 (also called fenugreek or fenugreek seed powder), methyl decanoate (CAS 110-42-9), methyl octanoate (CAS 111-11-5) and terpenoid blend QRD 460

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

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 or on food and feed of plant and animal origin and amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC (1), and in particular Article 5(1) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) For Streptomyces K61 (formerly S. griseoviridis), Candida oleophila strain O, FEN 560 (also called fenugreek or fenugreek seed powder) and terpenoid blend QRD 460 no specific MRLs were set. As those substances were not included in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the default value of 0,01 mg/kg laid down in Article 18(1)(b) of that Regulation applies. Methyl decanoate (CAS 110-42-9) and methyl octanoate (CAS 111-11-5) belong to the group of fatty acids C7-C20 which is included in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.

(2) As regards FEN 560 (also called fenugreek or fenugreek seed powder), the European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded (2) that the inclusion of that substance in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 is appropriate.

(3) As regards terpenoid blend QRD 460, the Authority concluded (3) that the inclusion of that substance in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 is appropriate.

(4) As regards Streptomyces K61 (formerly S. griseoviridis) (4) the Authority could not conclude on the dietary risk assessment for consumers as some information was not available and further consideration by risk managers was necessary. Such further consideration was reflected in the review report (5) which concluded that the risk to humans through metabolites from this substance is negligible. It is therefore appropriate to include that substance in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.

(5) As regards Candida oleophila strain O (6) the Authority could not conclude on the dietary risk assessment for consumers as some information was not available and further consideration by risk managers was necessary. Such further consideration was reflected in the review report (7) which concluded that the risk to humans through metabolites from this substance is negligible. It is therefore appropriate to include
