Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 May 2009 laying down Community procedures for the establishment of residue limits of pharmacologically active substances in foodstuffs of animal origin, repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 and amending Directive 2001/82/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Regulation (EC) No 726/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1), and in particular Article 14 in conjunction with Article 17 thereof,

Whereas:
(1)
The maximum residue limit (MRL) for pharmacologically active substances intended for use in the Union in veterinary medicinal products for food-producing animals or in biocidal products used in animal husbandry is to be established in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 470/2009.
(2)
Pharmacologically active substances and their classification regarding MRLs in foodstuffs of animal origin are set out in the Annex to Commission Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 (2).
(3)
Methylprednisolone is currently included in Table 1 of the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 as an allowed substance, for bovine species, applicable to muscle, fat, liver, kidney and milk.

The Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use recommended the establishment of a MRL for methylprednisolone for equidae, and the extrapolation of the MRL for methylprednisolone from bovine milk to horse milk.
(7)
The entry for methylprednisolone in Table 1 of the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 should therefore be amended to include the MRL for equidae, applicable to muscle, fat, liver, kidney and milk.
