Code (a) Commodity Existing EU MRL (mg/kg) Proposed EU MRL (mg/kg) Comment/justification
Enforcement residue definition: 1,4‐dimethylnaphthalene (F)
0211000 Potatoes 15 (ft 1) 20

The submitted data are sufficient to derive an MRL proposal for the intended post‐harvest use. Uncertainty remains regarding the quantification of the conjugates of M21 in plant matrices but risk for consumers unlikely.

The data gap identified by EFSA during the MRL review concerning information on the identity if metabolites found at significant levels in the processing studies has been addressed.

Enforcement residue definition: Sum of 1,4‐dimethylnaphthalene and its metabolite M23 free and conjugated, expressed as 1,4‐dimethylnaphthalene (F)

The European Food Safety Authority identified some information on residue trials and nature of the residue in processed commodities as unavailable. When re‐viewing the MRL, the Commission will take into account the information referred to in the first sentence, if it is submitted by 2 August 2024, or, if that information is not submitted by that date, the lack of it.
