1. Citrus fruits EU I Penicillium digitatum, P. italicum, Diaporthe citri, Diplodia spp., Alternaria citri, Botrytis spp., Phomopsis spp., Diplodia natalensis EC 500 g/L Post‐harvest, drenching/dipping N/A 1 0.05 Waiting period 0 days GAP assessed in the MRL review. Safety concern identified for grapefruits and oranges, but new data received to attempt refinement of the risk assessment
2. Citrus fruits EU I EC 500 g/L Post‐harvest, spraying (low volume) N/A 1 0.15 Waiting period 0 days GAP was reported in the MRL review, but not assessed as it was not the most critical GAP
3. Citrus fruits EU I EC 500 g/L Post‐harvest, waxing N/A 1 0.2 Waiting period 0 days A more cGAP was assessed in the MRL review (rate of 0.3 kg/hL) for grapefruits and oranges
4. Apples/Pears EU I Post‐harvest fungi SL 75 g/L Post‐harvest, drenching/dipping N/A 1 0.0375 Waiting period 0 days A less cGAP assessed in the MRL review (with waiting period of 60 days) and in the original version of the evaluation report with safety concern identified
5. Pears EU I Penicillium expansum, Botrytis cinerea, Gloeosporium album SL 75 g/L Post‐harvest, drenching/dipping Within 16 h after harvest 1 0.025 Waiting period 0 days GAP assessed in the MRL review. Safety concern identified
6. Potatoes EU I Silver scurf, Gangrene, Skin spot, Dry rot (Fusarium) SL 100 g/L Post‐harvest, spraying N/A 1 0.015 g/t Waiting period 0 days According to the evaluation report, the intended GAP was 0.105 kg a.s./ha, which was considered equivalent to 0.015 kg a.s./t; the same GAP was assessed in the MRL review for which a consumer safety concern was identified
7. Bananas EU I Post‐harvest fungi SG 750 g/kg Post‐harvest, dipping/drenching/spraying 1 0.06 Waiting period 35 days GAP assessed in the MRL review. Safety concerns and data gap identified
