Abstract

According to Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, EFSA has reviewed the maximum residue levels (MRLs) currently established at European level for the pesticide active substance fluxapyroxad. To assess the occurrence of fluxapyroxad residues in plants, processed commodities, rotational crops and livestock, EFSA considered the conclusions derived in the framework of Commission Regulation (EU) No 188/2011, the MRLs established by the Codex Alimentarius Commission as well as the import tolerances and European authorisations reported by Member States (including the supporting residues data). Based on the assessment of the available data, MRL proposals were derived and a consumer risk assessment was carried out. Although no apparent risk to consumers was identified, some information required by the regulatory framework was missing. Hence, the consumer risk assessment is considered indicative only and some MRL proposals derived by EFSA still require further consideration by risk managers.

Summary

Fluxapyroxad was approved on 1 January 2013 by means of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 589/2012 in the framework of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 as amended by Commission Implementing Regulations (EU) No 540/2011 and 541/2011.

As the active substance was approved after the entry into force of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 on 2 September 2008, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) is required to provide a reasoned opinion on the review of the existing maximum residue levels (MRLs) for that active substance in compliance with Article 12(1) of the aforementioned regulation.

As the basis for the MRL review, on 15 June 2018, EFSA initiated the collection of data for this active substance. In a first step, Member States were invited to submit by 16 July 2018 their national Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) in a standardised way, in the format of specific GAP forms, allowing the designated rapporteur Member State (RMS), France, to identify the critical GAPs in the format of a specific GAP overview file. Subsequently, Member States were requested to provide residue data supporting the critical GAPs, within a period of 1 month, by 19 October 2018. On the basis of all the data submitted by Member States and by the EU Reference Laboratories for Pesticides Residues (EURLs), EFSA asked the RMS to complete the Pesticide Residues Overview File (PROFile) and to prepare a supporting evaluation report. The PROFile and evaluation report, together with Pesticide Residues Intake Model (PRIMo) calculations and an updated GAP overview file were provided by the RMS to EFSA on 19 December 2018. Subsequently, EFSA performed the completeness check of these documents with the RMS. The outcome of this exercise including the clarifications provided by the RMS, if any, was compiled in the completeness check report.

Based on the information provided by the RMS, Member States and the EURLs, and taking into account the conclusions derived by EFSA in the framework of Commission Regulation (EU) No 188/2011 and the MRLs established by the Codex Alimentarius Commission, EFSA prepared in October 2019 a draft reasoned opinion, which was circulated to Member States for consultation via a written procedure. Comments received by 20 November 2019 were considered during the finalisation of this reasoned opinion. The following conclusions are derived.

The metabolism of fluxapyroxad in plant was investigated in primary and rotational crops. According to the results of the metabolism studies, the residue definition for enforcement and risk assessment can be proposed as fluxapyroxad. These residue definitions are also applicable to processed commodities. Fully validated analytical methods are available for the enforcement of the proposed residue definition in all four main plant matrices at the limit of quantification (LOQ) of 0.01 mg/kg. According to the EURLs, the LOQ of 0.01 mg/kg is achievable by using the QuEChERS method in routine analyses.

The available data on primary crops are considered sufficient to derive (tentative) MRL proposals as well as risk assessment values for all commodities under evaluation, except for garlic, onions and shallots where data were insufficient to derive MRLs.

MRLs and risk assessment values considering a worst‐case scenario reflecting crop failure (PBI of 30 days) were also derived for rotational crops on a tentative basis. For garlic, onions and shallots, the (tentative) MRL and risk assessment values derived are based on the results of the rotational field trials on roots, since no residue trials on primary uses were available. For fruiting vegetables and pulses and oilseeds, the tentative MRLs are based on the primary uses only, since representative of these crop groups was not assessed in the rotational crop field studies.

Since the rotational crop field studies were underdosed compared to the total predicted environmental concentration in soil (PECsoil total) for the authorised uses in annual crops, the possible occurrence of residues of fluxapyroxad at levels higher than the derived (tentative) MRLs, following multiannual applications, cannot be excluded. Therefore, Member States granting an authorisation should request additional rotational crop field studies conducted with application rates that cover the plateau background concentrations for these crops. Pending the submission of these studies, Member States are recommended to implement appropriate mitigation measures in order to avoid exceedances of the derived MRLs.

Fluxapyroxad is authorised for use on crops that might be fed to livestock. Livestock dietary burden calculations were therefore performed for different groups of livestock according to OECD guidance. The dietary burdens calculated for all groups of livestock were found to exceed the trigger value of 0.1 mg/kg dry matter (DM). Behaviour of residues was therefore assessed in all commodities of animal origin.

The metabolism of fluxapyroxad residues in livestock was investigated in lactating goats and laying hens at dose rate covering the maximum dietary burdens calculated in this review. According to the results of these studies, the residue definitions were proposed for enforcement as fluxapyroxad only, and for risk assessment as sum of fluxapyroxad and metabolite M700F008, expressed as parent equivalent. An analytical method for the enforcement of the proposed residue definition at the LOQ of 0.01 mg/kg in all animal tissues and 0.001 mg/kg in milk and eggs is available. According to the EURLs screening data for commodities of animal origin show that fluxapyroxad can be monitored in meat with a screening detection limit (SDL) of 0.0025 mg/kg and in milk with an SDL of 0.005 mg/kg.

Livestock feeding studies on animal were used to derive (tentative) MRL and risk assessment values in milk, eggs and tissues of ruminants and poultry. Since extrapolation from ruminants to pigs is acceptable, results of the livestock feeding study on ruminants were relied upon to derive the (tentative) MRL and risk assessment values in pigs.

Chronic and acute consumer exposure resulting from the authorised uses reported in the framework of this review was calculated using revision 3 of the EFSA PRIMo. For those commodities where data were insufficient to derive an MRL, EFSA considered the existing EU MRL for an indicative calculation. The highest chronic exposure was calculated for Dutch toddler, representing 44% of the acceptable daily intake (ADI), and the highest acute exposure was calculated for celeries, representing 77% of the acute reference dose (ARfD).

Apart from the MRLs evaluated in the framework of this review, internationally recommended Codex MRLs (CXLs) have also been established for fluxapyroxad. Additional calculations of the consumer exposure, considering these CXLs were performed, the highest chronic exposure was calculated for Dutch toddler representing 55% of the ADI and the highest acute exposure was calculated for celeries, representing 77% of the ARfD.

Although uncertainties remain due to the data gaps identified, these indicative exposure calculations did not indicate a risk to consumer's health.

Background

Regulation (EC) No 396/20051 (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Regulation’) establishes the rules governing the setting and the review of pesticide maximum residue levels (MRLs) at European level. Article 12(1) of that Regulation stipulates that the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) shall provide, within 12 months from the date of the inclusion or non‐inclusion of an active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC2 a reasoned opinion on the review of the existing MRLs for that active substance.

As fluxapyroxad was approved on 1 January 2013 by means of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 589/20123 in the framework of Regulation (EC) No 1107/20094 as amended by Commission Implementing Regulations (EU) No 540/20115 and 541/20116, EFSA initiated the review of all existing MRLs for that active substance.

By way of background information, in the framework of Commission Regulation (EU) No 188/20117, Fluxapyroxad was evaluated by France, designated as rapporteur Member State (RMS). Subsequently, a peer review on the initial evaluation of the RMS was conducted by EFSA, leading to the conclusions as set out in the EFSA scientific output (EFSA, 2012).

According to the legal provisions, EFSA shall base its reasoned opinion in particular on the relevant assessment report prepared under Directive 91/414/EEC repealed by Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. It should be noted, however, that, in the framework of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, only a few representative uses are evaluated, whereas MRLs set out in Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 should accommodate all uses authorised within the European Union (EU), and uses authorised in third countries that have a significant impact on international trade. The information included in the assessment report prepared under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 is therefore insufficient for the assessment of all existing MRLs for a given active substance.

To gain an overview of the pesticide residues data that have been considered for the setting of the existing MRLs, EFSA developed the Pesticide Residues Overview File (PROFile). The PROFile is an inventory of all pesticide residues data relevant to the risk assessment and MRL setting for a given active substance. This includes data on:

  • the nature and magnitude of residues in primary crops;

  • the nature and magnitude of residues in processed commodities;

  • the nature and magnitude of residues in rotational crops;

  • the nature and magnitude of residues in livestock commodities;

  • the analytical methods for enforcement of the proposed MRLs.

As the basis for the MRL review, on 15 June 2018, EFSA initiated the collection of data for this active substance. In a first step, Member States were invited to submit by 16 July 2018 their Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) that are authorised nationally, in a standardised way, in the format of specific GAP forms. In the framework of this consultation, 18 Member States provided feedback on their national authorisations of fluxapyroxad. Based on the GAP data submitted, the designated RMS France was asked to identify the critical GAPs to be further considered in the assessment, in the format of specific GAP overview file. Subsequently, in a second step, Member States were requested to provide residue data supporting the critical GAPs by 19 October 2018.

On the basis of all the data submitted by Member States and the EU Reference Laboratories for Pesticides Residues (EURLs), EFSA asked France to complete the PROFile and to prepare a supporting evaluation report. The PROFile and the supporting evaluation report, together with the Pesticide Residues Intake Model (PRIMo) calculations and an updated GAP overview file, were submitted to EFSA on 19 December 2018. Subsequently, EFSA performed the completeness check of these documents with the RMS. The outcome of this exercise including the clarifications provided by the RMS, if any, was compiled in the completeness check report. During this completeness check, an additional PROFile was compiled to perform the calculation of MRLs in rotational crops.

Considering all the available information and taking into account the MRLs established by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) (i.e. codex maximum residue limit; CXLs), EFSA prepared in October 2019 a draft reasoned opinion, which was circulated to Member States for commenting via a written procedure. All comments received by 20 November 2019 were considered by EFSA during the finalisation of the reasoned opinion.

The evaluation report submitted by the RMS (France, 2018), taking into account also the information provided by Member States during the collection of data, and the EURLs report on analytical methods (EURLs, 2018) are considered as main supporting documents to this reasoned opinion and, thus, made publicly available.

In addition, further supporting documents to this reasoned opinion are the completeness check report (EFSA, 2019a) and the Member States consultation report (EFSA, 2019b). These reports are developed to address all issues raised in the course of the review, from the initial completeness check to the reasoned opinion. Furthermore, the exposure calculations for all crops reported in the framework of this review performed using the EFSA Pesticide Residues Intake Model (PRIMo) and the PROFiles as well as the GAP overview file listing all authorised uses and import tolerances are key supporting documents and made publicly available as background documents to this reasoned opinion. A screenshot of the report sheet of the PRIMo is presented in Appendix C.

Terms of Reference

According to Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, EFSA shall provide a reasoned opinion on:

  • the inclusion of the active substance in Annex IV to the Regulation, when appropriate;

  • the necessity of setting new MRLs for the active substance or deleting/modifying existing MRLs set out in Annex II or III of the Regulation;

  • the inclusion of the recommended MRLs in Annex II or III to the Regulation;

  • the setting of specific processing factors as referred to in Article 20(2) of the Regulation.

The active substance and its use pattern

Fluxapyroxad is the ISO common name for 3‐(difluoromethyl)‐1‐methyl‐N‐(3′,4′,5′‐trifluorobiphenyl‐2‐yl)pyrazole‐4‐carboxamide (IUPAC). The chemical structure of the active substance and its main metabolites are reported in Appendix F.

The EU MRLs for fluxapyroxad are established in Annexes IIIA of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. Codex maximum residue limits (CXLs) for fluxapyroxad were also established by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC). An overview of the MRL changes that occurred since the entry into force of the Regulation mentioned above is provided below (Table 1).

For the purpose of this MRL review, all the uses of fluxapyroxad currently authorised within the EU and in third countries as submitted by the Member States during the GAP collection, have been reported by the RMS in the GAP overview file. The critical GAPs identified in the GAP overview file were then summarised in the PROFile and considered in the assessment. The details of the authorised critical GAPs for fluxapyroxad are given in Appendix A.

Assessment

EFSA has based its assessment on the following documents:

  • the PROFile submitted by the RMS;

  • the additional PROFile prepared by EFSA for the calculation of MRLs in rotational crops;

  • the evaluation report accompanying the submitted PROFile (France, 2018);

  • the draft assessment report (DAR) and its addenda prepared under Council Directive 91/414/EEC (United Kingdom, 2011a,b);

  • the conclusion on the peer review of the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance fluxapyroxad (EFSA, 2012);

  • the Joint Meeting on Pesticide residues (JMPR) Evaluation report (FAO, 2012, 2015);

  • the previous reasoned opinions on fluxapyroxad (EFSA, 2011, 2015b, 2016a, 2017).

The assessment is performed in accordance with the legal provisions of the uniform principles for evaluation and authorisation of plant protection products as set out in Commission Regulation (EU) No 546/20118 and the currently applicable guidance documents relevant for the consumer risk assessment of pesticide residues (European Commission, 1997a, 1997b, 1997c, 1997d, 1997e, 1997f, 1997g, 2000, 2010a, 2010b, 2017; OECD, 2011, 2013).

More detailed information on the available data and on the conclusions derived by EFSA can be retrieved from the list of end points reported in Appendix B.

1. Residues in plants

1.1. Nature of residues and methods of analysis in plants

1.1.1. Nature of residues in primary crops

The metabolism of fluxapyroxad was investigated following foliar applications in fruits, pulses and oilseeds and cereals (United Kingdom, 2011b) and assessed in the framework of the peer review (EFSA, 2012). An additional metabolism study on wheat following seed treatment was submitted in support of a previous MRL application (EFSA, 2015b). In all studies fluxapyroxad was radiolabelled in both the aniline and pyrazole rings of the molecule.

After foliar applications on tomatoes and wheat, fluxapyroxad was the major component of the radioactive residues, accounting for 54% total radioactive residue (TRR) up to more than 90% TRR and residue concentrations of 0.03 mg/kg in wheat grains and up to 0.16 mg/kg in tomato fruits (EFSA, 2012). Fluxapyroxad was more extensively metabolised in soyabean seeds, accounting for only 7% TRR up to 21% TRR, and two major metabolites were identified as M700F002 (33.5% TRR, pyrazole labelling) and M700F048 (20% TRR, aniline labelling). Minor metabolites were identified at very low levels, accounting for less than 2% of the TRR (EFSA, 2012).

After a seed treatment on wheat, fluxapyroxad was identified as the major component of the total residue, accounting for 58–79% of the TRR in forage, hay, straw and chaff and 17% of the TRR in grains (EFSA, 2015b). The metabolic pattern found in wheat after seed application was found comparable to the pathway observed in wheat after foliar application and comparable to the metabolism following foliar application in soyabean and tomato.

The metabolic pathway of fluxapyroxad was similar in fruits, pulses and oilseeds and cereals following foliar application, and in cereals after seed treatment.

The application of fluxapyroxad on witloofs is authorised for post‐harvest treatment (dipping, drenching of roots, before forcing), for which no metabolism study was submitted. However, considering that the behaviour of fluxapyroxad is the same in three crop groups following foliar application and soil treatments (in rotational crops), it can be assumed that the metabolism following post‐harvest treatment would also follow the same pathway. Therefore, no metabolism study following post‐harvest treatment is required.

The application of fluxapyroxad on several root crops (e.g. potatoes) is in the form of soil treatment, for which no metabolism study was submitted. However, since the metabolism observed in rotational crops, following bare soil application, was similar to the primary crop metabolism (see Section 1.1.2), further metabolism studies in primary roots following soil treatment are not required and deemed covered by the metabolism studies in rotational crops.

1.1.2. Nature of residues in rotational crops

Fluxapyroxad is authorised on crops that may be grown in rotation. The field DT90 reported in the soil degradation studies evaluated in the framework of the peer review was higher than 1000 days (EFSA, 2012).

One confined rotational crop study with fluxapyroxad radiolabelled on the aniline and pyrazole rings of the molecule was available for this review (United Kingdom, 2011a; EFSA, 2012). Fluxapyroxad was applied once at a rate of 250 g a.s./ha onto bare soil. Spinach, white radish and spring wheat were planted at nominal plant back intervals (PBI) of 30, 120/149 and 365 days after treatment (DAT).

Residues in wheat straw were up to 2.2 mg/kg (pyrazole label) and 2.65 mg/kg (aniline label), in spinach up to 0.18 mg/kg and 0.1 mg/kg for the pyrazole and aniline labels, respectively, and in roots up to 0.015 mg/kg for both labels (United Kingdom, 2011a). Residues in wheat grain accounted for 0.043 mg/kg and 0.02 mg/kg for the pyrazole and aniline labels, respectively (United Kingdom, 2011a).

Fluxapyroxad was the major component in all matrices, while metabolite M700F002 was also present at relevant levels in all matrices. No specific compound for rotational crops was identified. The metabolism and distribution of fluxapyroxad in rotational crops are similar to the metabolic pathway observed in primary crops (EFSA, 2012).

1.1.3. Nature of residues in processed commodities

Studies investigating the nature of residues in processed commodities were assessed in the peer review (United Kingdom, 2011b; EFSA, 2012). Studies were conducted with radiolabelled fluxapyroxad on the ring simulating representative hydrolytic conditions for pasteurisation (20 min at 90°C, pH 4), boiling/brewing/baking (60 min at 100°C, pH 5) and sterilisation (20 min at 120°C, pH 6). Fluxapyroxad is stable to hydrolysis under standard conditions of pasteurisation, baking/brewing/boiling and sterilisation (EFSA, 2012).

1.1.4. Methods of analysis in plants

Adequately validated analytical methods, involving high‐performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC–MS/MS) measurement, were submitted by the applicant, assessed during the peer review, and found being suitable for the control of fluxapyroxad residues in all major category crop groups (high water, high acid, high oil content and dry matrices) with a limit of quantification (LOQ) of 0.01 mg/kg (EFSA, 2012).

The EURLs informed EFSA that fluxapyroxad can be monitored in high water and high acid content commodities with an LOQ of 0.002 mg/kg and in dry and high oil content commodities with an LOQ of 0.005 mg/kg, and in honey with an LOQ of 0.005 mg/kg (EURLs, 2018).

Herbal infusions are classified as difficult matrices to analyse for which separate validation data would be required to demonstrate the applicability of the analytical methods. Since no analytical methods were provided for theses matrices a data gap is set for these crops.

1.1.5. Stability of residues in plants

The storage stability of fluxapyroxad was investigated in the framework of the peer review (United Kingdom, 2011a,b, EFSA, 2012). Fluxapyroxad was found to be stable in all plant matrices for a period of 737 days when stored at –20°C (EFSA, 2012). Moreover, when stored at –20°C, metabolite M700F002 was stable for 824 days in all plant matrices, metabolite M700F048 for 733 days in high starch, high acid, high oil and high water content matrices and in wheat straw and metabolite M700F008 was stable 725 days in high starch matrices and in wheat straw, and up to 133 days in high oil and high water content matrices (EFSA, 2012). Fluxapyroxad was also found to be stable for 24 months at –20°C in processed products: apple juice, soybean refined oil, potato crisps, grape raisins and barley beer (United Kingdom, 2011b).

No specific study is available for the storage stability in herbal infusions and spices. However, as storage stability was investigated and demonstrated in the four main plant matrices, the most limiting storage stability conditions demonstrated for general matrices can be considered applicable to these specific matrices.

1.1.6. Proposed residue definitions

The metabolism of fluxapyroxad was similar in all crops following foliar application and seed treatment. Fluxapyroxad is the only toxicologically relevant compound to be considered in the consumer exposure. In the framework of the peer review, the residue definition for risk assessment was proposed as fluxapyroxad (EFSA, 2012). The same residue definition is proposed in the current review. The metabolism in rotational crops is similar to the metabolism observed in primary crops and the processing of fluxapyroxad is not expected to modify the nature of residues. For soil treatments, the metabolism in primary and rotational crops is depicted by the metabolism studies performed in the confined rotational crops on spinach, white radish and spring wheat.

As the parent compound was found to be a sufficient marker in fruits, pulses and oilseeds and cereals, the residue definition for enforcement is proposed as fluxapyroxad only.

An analytical method for the enforcement of the proposed residue definition at the LOQ of 0.01 mg/kg in all four main plant matrices is available (EFSA, 2012). According to the EURLs, this LOQ is achievable in all four main plant matrices (EURLs, 2018).

1.2. Magnitude of residues in plants

1.2.1. Magnitude of residues in primary crops

To assess the magnitude of fluxapyroxad residues resulting from the reported GAPs, EFSA considered all residue trials reported by the RMS in its evaluation report (France, 2018) as well as the residue trials evaluated in the framework of the peer review (United Kingdom, 2011a; EFSA, 2012) or in the framework of a previous MRL application (EFSA, 2011, 2015b, 2016a, 2017). All residue trial samples considered in this framework were stored in compliance with the conditions for which storage stability of residues was demonstrated. Decline of residues during storage of the trial samples is therefore not expected.

The number of residue trials and extrapolations were evaluated in accordance with the European guidelines on comparability, extrapolation, group tolerances and data requirements for setting MRLs (European Commission, 2017).

For garlic, onions, shallots, no residue trials were available; therefore, no MRL and risk assessment values can be derived, and the following data gaps were identified:

  • Garlic, onions, shallots: eight residue trials compliant with the import tolerance GAP are required.

For all the other crops, available residue trials are sufficient to derive (tentative) MRL and risk assessment values, taking note of the following considerations:

  • Apricots: although MRL and risk assessment values can be derived from the southern outdoor GAP, one additional trial on apricots compliant with the northern outdoor GAP, one additional trial compliant with the southern outdoor GAP and eight trials compliant with the import tolerance are still required.

  • Peaches: although MRL and risk assessment values for peaches can be derived from the import tolerance GAP, three additional trials on peaches compliant with the southern outdoor GAP are still required.

  • Carrots: although MRL and risk assessment values can be derived from northern outdoor GAP, eight trials compliant with the import tolerance are still required.

  • Spring onions: although MRL and risk assessment values can be derived from southern outdoor GAP, eight trials compliant with the import tolerance are still required.

  • Cauliflowers: although MRL and risk assessment values can be derived from northern outdoor GAP, eight trials compliant with the import tolerance are still required.

  • Brussels sprouts: although MRL and risk assessment values can be derived from northern outdoor GAP, eight trials compliant with the southern outdoor GAP are still required.

  • Lettuces: although MRL and risk assessment values can be derived from southern outdoor GAP, eight trials compliant with the import tolerance are still required.

  • Peas (without pods): although MRL and risk assessment values can be derived from the import tolerance, eight trials compliant with the northern outdoor GAP are still required.

1.2.2. Magnitude of residues in rotational crops

1.2.2.1. Rotational crop field trials

Field rotational crop trials on cereals (wheat), root crops (carrots) and leafy crops (cauliflowers, broccoli and lettuces) were assessed in the framework of the peer review (United Kingdom, 2011a; EFSA, 2012).

The rotational crop field studies were conducted with bare soil previously treated at a rate of 250 g a.s./ha and at PBI 30, 120 and 365 DAT (United Kingdom, 2011a). Highest residue levels of fluxapyroxad were detected in carrots (0.08 mg/kg), lettuces (0.03 mg/kg) and cauliflowers/broccoli (0.06 mg/kg), 30 DAT (EFSA, 2012). In wheat grain residue level was below 0.01 mg/kg at all PBI, and in wheat straw the highest residue was below 0.01 mg/kg 30 DAT and found at 0.07 mg/kg and 0.08 mg/kg, 120 and 365 DAT, respectively. No significant levels of metabolites M700F002, M700F008 and M700F048 were detected in edible parts of crops at all PBIs, since metabolite residue levels were always below the LOQ (< 0.01–0.02 mg/kg) (EFSA, 2012, 2017). Regarding the concentration of fluxapyroxad in soil, immediately after application, the residues of fluxapyroxad ranged from 0.024 to 0.114 mg/kg (United Kingdom, 2011a). After a 30‐day replant interval, ploughing and planting/sowing of the crops, the residue levels in soil were lower (0.016–0.077 mg/kg) (United Kingdom, 2011a). Detailed information on the concentration of fluxapyroxad in the different soils tested were missing (only a range was given). Moreover, EFSA could not retrieve information on the residue level in soil for the 120 DAT and 365 DAT in the study.

1.2.2.2. Calculation of concentrations in soil following multiannual applications

In order to assess whether the available rotational crop field studies (and consequently the MRLs derived under Section 1.2.2.3. cover the plateau in soil expected after multiannual applications according to the most critical GAPs currently authorised, EFSA made a comparison between the soil concentration measured at 30 DAT in rotational crop field studies and the total predicted environmental concentration in soil (PECsoil total9) of fluxapyroxad resulting from the use of fluxapyroxad at the most critical GAPs (PEC plateau background) that can be rotated plus the maximal seasonal application rate with applications being made every year for 13 years. This comparison was made for the most critical GAP that can be rotated: potatoes (NEU, SEU); and for the less critical GAP that can be rotated: cucurbits (NEU, SEU).

Considering the NEU and SEU GAP for potatoes (1 × 240 g a.s./ha at BBCH 00), the PECsoil total resulting from applications being made every year for 13 years is 0.2488 mg/kg soil immediately after an application and 0.2312 mg/kg soil 28 days after.

Considering the NEU/SEU GAP for cucurbits (3 × 45 g a.s/ha; PHI 3 days) including 50% crop interception (22.5 g a.s./ha reaching soil), the PECsoil total resulting from applications being made every year for 13 years is 0.04 mg/kg soil immediately after an application and 0.033 mg/kg soil 28 days later.

Therefore, according to the soil concentrations measured in the rotational crop field study (0.016–0.077 mg/kg soil) and considering the PECsoil total as calculated above, the study was under dosed compared to the predicted accumulated soil residue with mixing over 20 cm following multiannual application for all the uses currently authorised on crops that can be rotated.

The range of GAPs modelled below for PECsoil total are deemed to cover the application rates in crops that can be rotated reported in this review. The crop rotational field studies are not covering the soil concentration range following multiannual applications for all the uses assessed above, i.e. PECsoil total calculated is higher than the soil concentrations analysed in the rotational crop field studies.

1.2.2.3. Calculation of MRLs in rotational crops

For the annual crops under consideration, EFSA performed a rough estimate whether a significant uptake of fluxapyroxad residues from the soil is expected and would contribute to the overall fluxapyroxad residues in the crops under consideration. The assessment was based on the data from available rotational crop field studies (United Kingdom, 2011a).

The MRL review should be performed according to the old data requirements applicable at the time of the peer review. Nevertheless, as the EC guidance document on rotational crops (European Commission, 1997c) provides only limited guidance on how to derive MRLs for rotational crops, EFSA followed the methodology described by the recent OECD guidance on rotational crops (OECD, 2018) which is in principle fully applicable only with the new data requirements.

Residues from rotational uses were extrapolated from lettuces to all leafy vegetables, from cauliflowers/broccoli to brassicas, from carrots/turnips to root/tuber vegetables and also on a tentative basis from root/tuber vegetables to bulb vegetables, and finally from wheat grain and straw to cereals grain and straw. Residues resulting from the primary crop use were compared to the residue levels observed through soil uptake in the rotational field trials to the corresponding crop groups. For several crops (e.g. fruiting vegetables, pulses and oilseeds), it was not possible to compare the results of residues from primary uses with the residue in rotational crop field trials, since representatives of these crop groups were not used in the field rotational studies. Nevertheless, as the application on fruiting vegetables and oilseeds is done by foliar treatment close to the harvest (PHI 3–7 days), it is assumed that residues resulting from primary uses will be the main driver for the total residues in these crops. Although no trials on primary uses were available for some feed items (e.g. rice straw), these are not considered relevant when the feed item is authorised as import tolerance only. Therefore, no specific calculation was done for feed items authorised as import tolerances only.

Based on the rotational field studies and considering the worst‐case scenario of crop failure (PBI of 30 days), highest residues were 0.08 mg/kg, 0.06 mg/kg, < 0.01 mg/kg and 0.41 mg/kg in root and tuber vegetables, leafy vegetables, cereals grain and straw, respectively.

In case the residues (highest residue (HR) values) in rotational crops were not higher than 25% compared to the highest residue observed in the respective crop from primary uses, the primary uses were considered to cover the residues from the combined sources. If the uptake of residues from rotational crops exceeded 25% of the residue from primary uses the HR in rotational crops was added to each value of the data set used for MRL calculation on the primary crop, in order to derive the combined MRLs and risk assessment values.

For turnip tops, it was not possible to conclude if rotational crops would lead to an increase in residue levels since residues in primary uses were missing. Therefore, the HR and supervised trials median residue (STMR) values from the rotational trials on carrot/radish tops were used to derive a tentative MRL for this crop. In addition, for garlic, onions and shallots (authorised uses as import tolerances only), there were also no residue trials for the primary uses; therefore, HR and STMR values from the rotational trials on carrot/radish roots were used to derive tentative MRL and risk assessment values for these crops. For roots and Brassica vegetables for which no authorised use was reported, HR and STMR values from the rotational trials were used to derive tentative MRLs and risk assessment values.

An overview of the derived tentative MRLs is reported in Appendix B.1.2.2.(c).

Since the rotational crop field studies were underdosed compared to the PECsoil total for the authorised uses assessed above, the possible occurrence of residues of fluxapyroxad at levels higher than the derived tentative MRLs, following multiannual applications, cannot be excluded. Therefore, Member States granting an authorisation should request additional rotational crop field studies conducted with application rates that cover the plateau background concentrations for these crops. Pending the submission of these studies, Member States are recommended to implement appropriate mitigation measures or to reconsider these uses in order to avoid exceedances of the derived MRLs.

1.2.3. Magnitude of residues in processed commodities

The effect of industrial processing and/or household preparation was assessed (EFSA, 2011, 2015b, 2016a, 2017, United Kingdom, 2011b). Additional studies on the effects of processing on the magnitude of fluxapyroxad residues during the processing of grapes, rice and sugar cane were submitted and assessed in support of an MRL application (EFSA, 2015b). Additional data in citrus peel and pulp, wheat grain and oats (grain, husk and dust) were assessed by the RMS in the framework of the current review (France, 2018).

An overview of all available processing studies is available in Appendix B.1.2.3. Robust processing factors (fully supported by data) could be derived for orange (dry pomace, juice), apple/pear (juice, sauce), plums (dried, jam), table grape (raisins), wine grapes (wet pomace, pasteurised juice, red wine), potato (flakes, chips/crisps, wet peel, peeled, boiled, microwaved boiled, fried, dried pulp), tomato (unpeeled and canned, paste, juice), melon (peeled), barley (brewing mal, beer, whole‐meal flour), and wheat (whole‐meal flour, whole‐meal bread, white flour, white bread), while limited processing factors (not fully supported by data, since less than three independent studies were available) were derived for apple/pear (wet and dry pomace, canned), plums (dried, jam), peanuts (crude and refined oil, meal/press cake), sunflowers seeds (crude and refined oil, meal/press cake), rapeseeds (crude and refined oil, mela/press cake), rice (unpolished, unpolished and cooked, polished, polished and cooked, flour, bran), sugar beet (thick juice, raw sugar, white sugar, dry pulp, molasses, ensiled pulp) and sugar canes (raw sugar, refined sugar and molasses).

Further processing studies are not required as they are not expected to affect the outcome of the risk assessment. However, if more robust processing factors were to be required by risk managers for enforcement purposes, additional processing studies would be needed.

1.2.4. Proposed MRLs

The available data on primary crops are considered sufficient to derive MRL proposals as well as risk assessment values for all commodities under evaluation, except for herbal infusions and apricots where tentative MRLs are derived and for garlic, onions and shallots where data were insufficient to derive MRL.

Specific MRLs from rotational crops considering a worst‐case scenario reflecting crop failure (PBI of 30 days) were also derived for potatoes, cauliflowers, Brussels sprouts and sugar beet roots on a tentative basis. For garlic, onions and shallots, tentative MRLs and risk assessment values are based on results of the rotational field trials on roots, since no residue trials on primary uses were available. For fruiting vegetables and pulses and oilseeds, the tentative MRLs are based on the primary uses only, since residues resulting from primary uses by foliar treatment close to the harvest, are expected to be the main driver for the total residues in these crops.

It is noted that the rotational crop field studies did not cover the predicted concentration in soil of fluxapyroxad resulting from multiannual applications according to all the uses reported in this review. Therefore, the MRL proposals as well as risk assessment values may not be sufficient to cover the potential residues levels in rotational crops following multiannual applications according to these authorised uses and are proposed on a tentative basis only.

Tentative MRLs were also derived for feed crops (ex: cereal straw) in view of the future need to set MRLs in feed items.

2. Residues in livestock

Fluxapyroxad is authorised for use on crops that might be fed to livestock (e.g. cereals, sugar beets). Livestock dietary burden calculations were therefore performed for different groups of livestock according to OECD guidance (OECD, 2013), which has now also been agreed upon at European level. The input values for all relevant commodities are summarised in Appendix D. Since residues from rotational crop field studies could contribute to the dietary burden, combined residue from primary uses and from rotational crop field studies were combined and used as input values (see Appendix B.1.2.2.(c)). According to this calculation, the main contributors to the dietary burden are the residue in wheat straw and rye straw from primary uses and potato (processed) from the combined residues of primary uses and rotational crop field studies. The dietary burdens calculated for all groups of livestock were found to exceed the trigger value of 0.1 mg/kg dry matter (DM). Behaviour of residues was therefore assessed in all commodities of animal origin.

2.1. Nature of residues and methods of analysis in livestock

The metabolism of fluxapyroxad residues in livestock was investigated in lactating goats and laying hens (United Kingdom, 2011a) at dose rates covering the maximum dietary burdens calculated in this review (2.5–10N). These studies were assessed in the framework of the peer review (EFSA, 2012). In all studies, fluxapyroxad was radiolabelled in the aniline and/or pyrazole ring of the molecule.

The study on lactating goats fed for 8 consecutive days with 0.4 mg/kg body weight (bw) per day showed that fluxapyroxad was rapidly excreted, with more than 80% of the TRR recovered in urine and faeces. Parent was the main constituent, while another predominant component was metabolite M700F008 present at relevant levels in ruminant matrices (EFSA, 2012).

The study performed on laying hens fed for 12 consecutive days with 11.5 mg/kg feed (equivalent to 0.4 mg/kg bw per day) showed that fluxapyroxad was extensively degraded in livestock matrix (< 0.5% and 0.18% of the TRR in tissues and eggs, respectively). The parent and metabolite M700F008 were the main constituents of the residues in hens.

In livestock, parent compound and metabolite M700F008 were the main constituents of the residues in all matrices. All other identified metabolites were present at more than 10% TRR but at levels lower than 0.003 mg/kg. Therefore, the metabolism of fluxapyroxad in livestock is adequately elucidated, and fluxapyroxad and metabolite M700F008 are the most relevant components of the residues in livestock commodities (EFSA, 2012).

As the parent compound was found to be a sufficient marker in livestock commodities, the residue definition for enforcement is proposed as fluxapyroxad only.

An analytical method using HPLC‐MS/MS and its independent laboratory validation (ILV) have been provided and fully validated for the determination of fluxapyroxad in foodstuff of animal origin with an LOQ of 0.01 mg/kg for liver, kidney, fat and muscle and an LOQ of 0.001 mg/kg for milk, eggs and cream (EFSA, 2012). Screening data generated by EURLs for commodities of animal origin show that fluxapyroxad can be monitored in meat with a screening detection limit (SDL) of 0.0025 mg/kg and in milk with an SDL of 0.005 mg/kg (EURLs, 2018).

In the framework of the peer review upon consideration of metabolism data and mammalian toxicology information, the residue for risk assessment was defined as sum of fluxapyroxad and metabolite M700F008, expressed as parent equivalent (EFSA, 2012). The same residue definition is proposed for the current review.

2.2. Magnitude of residues in livestock

In the framework of the peer review, feeding studies were performed with dairy cows and laying hens (United Kingdom, 2011a; EFSA, 2012).

Livestock feeding studies were carried out on dairy cows (parent and metabolite M700F002 co‐dosed for 28 consecutive days at dose levels of 0.11, 0.21, 0.65 and 2.18 mg/kg bw per day and 0.004, 0.01, 0.03 mg/kg bw per day, respectively) and laying hens (parent and metabolite M700F002 co‐dosed for 28 consecutive days at dose levels of 0.019, 0.038, 0.11 and 0.38 mg/kg bw per day and 0.0015, 0.003, 0.009 and 0.03 mg/kg bw per day, respectively) and assessed in the framework of the peer review (United Kingdom, 2011a; EFSA, 2012). Samples of meat, fat, liver, kidney, milk and eggs were taken from dosed animals and analysed for fluxapyroxad and metabolites M700F008 and M700F002.

Since MRLs in feed items (cereals, potatoes) that are the major contributors to the dietary burden are derived on a tentative basis, MRLs derived for livestock products are also proposed on a tentative basis. The study performed on dairy cows and laying hens was used to derive (tentative) MRL and risk assessment values in milk, eggs and tissues of ruminants/poultry. Since extrapolation from ruminants to pigs is acceptable, results of the livestock feeding study on ruminants were relied upon to derive the MRL and risk assessment values in pigs. All samples were stored at −20°C and analysed within 30 days, and therefore, specific storage stability studies are not deemed necessary (United Kingdom, 2011a).

In the feeding study on cattle, fluxapyroxad residues were found at up to 0.0374 mg/kg in whole milk, up to 0.012 mg/kg in meat, up to 0.171 mg/kg in fat, at up to 0.094 mg/kg in liver and up to 0.019 mg/kg in kidney (highest dose level). Metabolite M700F008 was found at up to 0.0017 mg/kg in whole milk, up to 0.0052 mg/kg in cream and up to 0.032 mg/kg in liver.

In tissues and milk from all the dosing groups, metabolite M700F002 was always below the LOQs of 0.01 and 0.001 mg/kg, respectively. In the feeding study on hens, fluxapyroxad residues were found at up to 0.031 mg/kg in eggs and at low amounts in fat from the highest dose group. In all other tissues analysed, parent was always below the LOQ of 0.01 mg/kg. Metabolite M700F008 was found at up to 0.0055 mg/kg in eggs, at the LOQ of 0.01 mg/kg in liver and at low amounts in fat and liver from the highest dose group.

3. Consumer risk assessment

In the framework of this review, only the uses of fluxapyroxad reported by the RMS in Appendix A were considered; however, the use of fluxapyroxad was previously also assessed by the JMPR (FAO, 2012, 2015). The CXLs, resulting from these assessments by JMPR and adopted by the CAC, are now international recommendations that need to be considered by European risk managers when establishing MRLs. To facilitate consideration of these CXLs by risk managers, the consumer exposure was calculated both with and without consideration of the existing CXLs.

3.1. Consumer risk assessment without consideration of the existing CXLs

Chronic and acute exposure calculations for all crops reported in the framework of this review were performed using revision 3 of the EFSA PRIMo (EFSA, 2018). Input values for the exposure calculations were derived in compliance with the decision tree reported in Appendix E. Hence, for those commodities where an (tentative) MRL could be derived by EFSA in the framework of this review, input values were derived according to the internationally agreed methodologies (FAO, 2009). For those commodities where data were insufficient to derive an MRL in Section 1, EFSA considered the existing EU MRL for an indicative calculation. A peeling factor (PF) was applied to melons, pumpkins and watermelons (PF = 0.38). In order to include the potential uptake of fluxapyroxad from residues in crops that may be grown in rotation, HR and STMR values derived based on the rotational field trials were also considered in the calculations when appropriate (see Section 1.2.2 and Appendix B.1.2.2.(c)). All input values included in the exposure calculations are summarised in Appendix D.

The exposure values calculated were compared with the toxicological reference values for fluxapyroxad derived by EFSA (2012). The highest chronic exposure was calculated for Dutch toddler, representing 44% of the acceptable daily intake (ADI), and the highest acute exposure was calculated for celeries, representing 77% of the acute reference dose (ARfD). Although uncertainties remain due to the data gaps identified in the previous sections, this indicative exposure calculation did not indicate a risk to consumer's health.

3.2. Consumer risk assessment with consideration of the existing CXLs

To include the CXLs in the calculations of the consumer exposure, CXLs were compared with the EU MRL proposals in compliance with Appendix E and all data relevant to the consumer exposure assessment have been collected from JMPR evaluations. An overview of the input values used for this exposure calculation is also provided in Appendix D. It is noted that the residue definitions derived in the JMPR evaluation for plants differ from the residue definition proposed by EFSA in the current review. Furthermore, the EU has made a reservation on the adoption of several CXLs due to different methodologies on extrapolation, pooling and trials numbers. Consequently, the CXLs for the following commodities were not adopted and translated into the EU Regulation: apricots, strawberries, blackberries, dewberries, raspberries, blueberries, cranberries, currants, gooseberries, rose hips, mulberries, azaroles, elderberries, carrots, parsnips, garlic, onion, shallots, tomatoes, sweet peppers, aubergines (eggplants), okra/lady's fingers, cucumbers, gherkins, courgettes, melons, pumpkins, watermelons, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, head cabbage, Chinese cabbage, kale, kohlrabi, roman rocket/rucola, leaves and sprouts of Brassica sp. and celery. Therefore, the CXLs of the commodities listed above were not included in the consumer risk assessment.

Peeling factors were applied to oranges (PF = 0.16), melons, pumpkins and watermelons (PF = 0.38) and to bananas (PF = 0.26). A conversion factor (CF = 3) was applied to table/wine grapes.

Chronic and acute exposure calculations were also performed using revision 3 of the EFSA PRIMo and the exposure values calculated were compared with the toxicological reference values derived for fluxapyroxad. The highest chronic exposure was calculated for Dutch toddler representing 55% of the ADI and the highest acute exposure was calculated for celeries, representing 77% of the ARfD. Although (major) uncertainties remain due to the data gaps identified for a certain number of these CXLs, this indicative exposure calculation did not indicate a risk to consumers.

Conclusions

The metabolism of fluxapyroxad in plant was investigated in primary and rotational crops. According to the results of the metabolism studies, the residue definition for enforcement and risk assessment can be proposed as fluxapyroxad. These residue definitions are also applicable to processed commodities. Fully validated analytical methods are available for the enforcement of the proposed residue definition in all four main plant matrices at the LOQ of 0.01 mg/kg. According to the EURLs, the LOQ of 0.01 mg/kg is achievable by using the QuEChERS method in routine analyses.

The available data on primary crops are considered sufficient to derive (tentative) MRL proposals as well as risk assessment values for all commodities under evaluation, except for garlic, onions and shallots where data were insufficient to derive MRLs.

MRLs and risk assessment values considering a worst‐case scenario reflecting crop failure (PBI of 30 days) were also derived for rotational crops on a tentative basis. For garlic, onions and shallots, the (tentative) MRL and risk assessment values derived are based on the results of the rotational field trials on roots, since no residue trials on primary uses were available. For fruiting vegetables and pulses and oilseeds, the tentative MRLs are based on the primary uses only, since representative of these crop groups were not assessed in the rotational crop field studies.

Since the rotational crop field studies were underdosed compared to the PECsoil total for the authorised uses in annual crops, the possible occurrence of residues of fluxapyroxad at levels higher than the derived (tentative) MRLs, following multiannual applications, cannot be excluded. Therefore, Member States granting an authorisation should request additional rotational crop field studies conducted with application rates that cover the plateau background concentrations for these crops. Pending the submission of these studies, Member States are recommended to implement appropriate mitigation measures in order to avoid exceedances of the derived MRLs.

Fluxapyroxad is authorised for use on crops that might be fed to livestock. Livestock dietary burden calculations were therefore performed for different groups of livestock according to OECD guidance. The dietary burdens calculated for all groups of livestock were found to exceed the trigger value of 0.1 mg/kg DM. Behaviour of residues was therefore assessed in all commodities of animal origin.

The metabolism of fluxapyroxad residues in livestock was investigated in lactating goats and laying hens at dose rate covering the maximum dietary burdens calculated in this review. According to the results of these studies, the residue definitions were proposed for enforcement as fluxapyroxad only, and for risk assessment as sum of fluxapyroxad and metabolite M700F008, expressed as parent equivalent. An analytical method for the enforcement of the proposed residue definition at the LOQ of 0.01 mg/kg in all animal tissues and 0.001 mg/kg in milk and eggs is available. According to the EURLs screening data for commodities of animal origin show that fluxapyroxad can be monitored in meat with an SDL of 0.0025 mg/kg and in milk with an SDL of 0.005 mg/kg.

Livestock feeding studies on animal were used to derive (tentative) MRL and risk assessment values in milk, eggs and tissues of ruminants and poultry. Since extrapolation from ruminants to pigs is acceptable, results of the livestock feeding study on ruminants were relied upon to derive the (tentative) MRL and risk assessment values in pigs.

Chronic and acute consumer exposure resulting from the authorised uses reported in the framework of this review was calculated using revision 3 of the EFSA PRIMo. For those commodities where data were insufficient to derive an MRL, EFSA considered the existing EU MRL for an indicative calculation. The highest chronic exposure was calculated for Dutch toddler, representing 44% of the ADI, and the highest acute exposure was calculated for celeries, representing 77% of the ARfD.

Apart from the MRLs evaluated in the framework of this review, internationally recommended CXLs have also been established for fluxapyroxad. Additional calculations of the consumer exposure, considering these CXLs were performed, the highest chronic exposure was calculated for Dutch toddler representing 55% of the ADI and the highest acute exposure was calculated for celeries, representing 77% of the ARfD.

Although uncertainties remain due to the data gaps identified in the previous sections, these indicative exposure calculations did not indicate a risk to consumer's health.

Recommendations

MRL recommendations were derived in compliance with the decision tree reported in Appendix E of the reasoned opinion (see Table 2). All MRL values listed as ‘Recommended’ in the table are sufficiently supported by data and are therefore proposed for inclusion in Annex II to the Regulation. The remaining MRL values listed in the table are not recommended for inclusion in Annex II because they require further consideration by risk managers (see Table 2 footnotes for details). In particular some tentative MRLs need to be confirmed by the following data:

  • Residue trials supporting GAPs on garlic, onions, shallots;

  • A representative analytical method for herbal infusions from leaves and herbs and herbal infusions from roots.

  • Rotational crop field studies investigating the magnitude of residues in rotational crops covering the plateau concentration expected when fluxapyroxad is used according to the GAPs assessed in this MRL review (data gap relevant for all crops that can be grown in rotation).

MRL: maximum residue level; CXL: codex maximum residue limit.

*

Indicates that the MRL is set at the limit of quantification.

F

The residue definition is fat soluble.

a

MRL is derived from a GAP evaluated at EU level, which is fully supported by data and for which no risk to consumers is identified; no CXL is available (combination H‐I in Appendix E).

b

MRL is derived from the existing CXL, which is supported by data and for which no risk to consumers is identified; there are no relevant authorisations or import tolerances reported at EU level (combination A‐VII in Appendix E).

c

MRL is derived from the existing CXL, which is supported by data and for which no risk to consumers is identified; GAP evaluated at EU level, which is also fully supported by data, leads to a lower MRL (combination H‐VII in Appendix E).

d

Tentative MRL is derived from a GAP evaluated at EU level, which is not fully supported by data but for which no risk to consumers was identified (assuming the existing residue definition); no CXL is available (combination F‐I in Appendix E).

e

MRL is derived from a GAP evaluated at EU level, which is fully supported by data and for which no risk to consumers is identified; existing CXL is covered by the recommended MRL (combination H‐III in Appendix E).

f

Tentative MRL is derived from a GAP evaluated at EU level, which is not fully supported by data but for which no risk to consumers was identified (assuming the existing residue definition); existing CXL is covered by the tentative MRL (combination F‐III in Appendix E).

g

MRL is derived from the existing CXL, which is not sufficiently supported by data but for which no risk to consumers is identified (assuming the existing residue definition); GAP evaluated at EU level, which is also not fully supported by data, would lead to a lower tentative MRL (combination F‐V in Appendix E).

h

MRL is derived from the existing CXL, which is not sufficiently supported by data but for which no risk to consumers is identified (assuming the existing residue definition); there are no relevant authorisations or import tolerances reported at EU level (combination A‐V in Appendix E).

i

Tentative MRL is derived from a GAP evaluated at EU level, which is not fully supported by data but for which no risk to consumers was identified (assuming the existing residue definition); CXL is not compatible with EU residue definitions (combination F‐II in Appendix E).

j

There are no relevant authorisations or import tolerances reported at EU level; no CXL is available. Either a specific LOQ or the default MRL of 0.01 mg/kg may be considered (combination A‐I in Appendix E).

Pending the submission of the rotational crop field studies, Member States are recommended to implement proper mitigation measures or to reconsider these uses in order to avoid exceedances of the derived MRLs.

It is highlighted, however, that some of the MRLs derived result from a CXL or from a GAP in one climatic zone only, whereas other GAPs reported by the RMS were not fully supported by data. EFSA therefore identified the following data gaps which are not expected to impact on the validity of the MRLs derived but which might have an impact on national authorisations:

  • Additional residue trials supporting GAPs on apricots, peaches, carrots, Spring onions, cauliflowers, Brussels sprouts, lettuces and peas (without pods).

If the above reported data gaps are not addressed in the future, Member States are recommended to withdraw or modify the relevant authorisations at national level.

a

Median residues expressed according to the residue definition for monitoring, recalculated at the 1N rate for the median dietary burden.

b

Highest residues expressed according to the residue definition for monitoring, recalculated at the 1N rate for the maximum dietary burden.

c

Conversion factor to recalculate residues according to the residue definition for monitoring to the residue definition for risk assessment.

d

Closest feeding level and N dose rate related to the maximum dietary burden.

e

For milk, mean was derived from samplings performed from day 5 to day 28 (daily mean of 3 cows).

f

Since extrapolation from cattle to other ruminants and swine is acceptable, results of the livestock feeding study on ruminants were relied upon to derive the MRL and risk assessment values in sheep and swine.

g

For eggs, mean residues were derived from samplings performed from day 13 to day 27 (daily mean of 10 laying hens).

MRL: maximum residue level; CXL: codex maximum residue limit.

*

Indicates that the MRL is set at the limit of quantification.

F

The residue definition is fat soluble.

a

MRL is derived from a GAP evaluated at EU level, which is fully supported by data and for which no risk to consumers is identified; no CXL is available (combination H‐I in Appendix E).

b

MRL is derived from the existing CXL, which is supported by data and for which no risk to consumers is identified; there are no relevant authorisations or import tolerances reported at EU level (combination A‐VII in Appendix E).

c

MRL is derived from the existing CXL, which is supported by data and for which no risk to consumers is identified; GAP evaluated at EU level, which is also fully supported by data, leads to a lower MRL (combination H‐VII in Appendix E).

d

Tentative MRL is derived from a GAP evaluated at EU level, which is not fully supported by data but for which no risk to consumers was identified (assuming the existing residue definition); no CXL is available (combination F‐I in Appendix E).

e

MRL is derived from a GAP evaluated at EU level, which is fully supported by data and for which no risk to consumers is identified; existing CXL is covered by the recommended MRL (combination H‐III in Appendix E).

f

Tentative MRL is derived from a GAP evaluated at EU level, which is not fully supported by data but for which no risk to consumers was identified (assuming the existing residue definition); existing CXL is covered by the tentative MRL (combination F‐III in Appendix E).

g

MRL is derived from the existing CXL, which is not sufficiently supported by data but for which no risk to consumers is identified (assuming the existing residue definition); GAP evaluated at EU level, which is also not fully supported by data, would lead to a lower tentative MRL (combination F‐V in Appendix E).

h

MRL is derived from the existing CXL, which is not sufficiently supported by data but for which no risk to consumers is identified (assuming the existing residue definition); there are no relevant authorisations or import tolerances reported at EU level (combination A‐V in Appendix E).

i

Tentative MRL is derived from a GAP evaluated at EU level, which is not fully supported by data but for which no risk to consumers was identified (assuming the existing residue definition); CXL is not compatible with EU residue definitions (combination F‐II in Appendix E).

j

There are no relevant authorisations or import tolerances reported at EU level; no CXL is available. Either a specific LOQ or the default MRL of 0.01 mg/kg may be considered (combination A‐I in Appendix E).

STMR: supervised trials median residue; HR: highest residue; PF: processing factor.

*

Indicates that the input value is proposed at the limit of quantification.

a

For corn, no default processing factor was applied because residues are expected to be below the LOQ. Concentration of residues in this commodity is therefore not expected.

b

In the absence of processing factors supported by data, a default processing factor was included in the calculation to consider the potential concentration of residues in these commodities.

c

Combined residues from primary uses and rotational crop field studies.

d

Residues from rotational crop field studies on potatoes.
