(3)  The inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of the active substances concerned was based on the assessment of the information submitted concerning their proposed use. Information relating to that use has been submitted by certain Member States in accordance with Article 4(1)(f) of Directive 91/414[/EEC. The information available has been reviewed and is sufficient to allow certain maximum residue levels (MRLs) to be fixed. (4 Community MRLs and the levels recommended by the Codex Alimentarius are fixed and evaluated following similar procedures. There are a number of Codex MRLs for chlorpropham, and glyphosate. There are already Community MRLs in Directive 76/895/EEC for chlor- propham (Council Directive 82/528/EEC ('4) and in Directives 86/362/EEC, 86/363/EEC and 90/642[EEC for glyphosate (Council Directive 1998/82/EC (1°)). These have been taken into consideration when setting the MRLs concerned by the adaptations made by this Directive. Codex MRLs that will be recommended for withdrawal in the near future were not taken into account. The MRLs based on Codex MRLs have been evaluated in the light of the risks for the consumers. No risk was established when using the toxicological end points based on the studies available to the Commission. =N L 304, 21.11.2001, p. 14. L 70, 9.3.2004, p. 32.
