Commodity	Region/ Indoor^b	Residue levels observed in the supervised residue trials (mg/kg)	Comments/Source	Calculated MRL (mg/kg)	HR^c (mg/kg)	STMR^d (mg/kg)
Lettuces	SEU	< 0.01, 0.016, 0.064, 0.084^a, 0.108^a, 0.111	Trials are compliant with the GAP. Number of trials not sufficient for deriving a MRL proposal (eight trials would be required). An indicative MRL proposal was calculated	0.3 (indicative calculation)	0.11	0.07
Lettuces	Indoor	0.245, 0.463^a, 0.555^a, 0.661^a, 1.230, 1.320^a, 1.790^e, ^a, 5.138	Sufficient number of GAP compliant trials to derive MRL proposal	8.0	5.14	0.95
Tomatoes Aubergines	NEU	< 0.01^f, 0.01^f, 0.021, 0.045^f, 0.051, 0.088, 0.27	GAP compliant trials performed in tomatoes. For tomatoes, one additional trial would be required. Number of trials is sufficient for extrapolation to aubergines (minor crop). For tomatoes, the calculated MRL is just indicative; for aubergines, the number of trials is sufficient to derive a MRL proposal compliant with the data requirements	0.5 (indicative calculation)	0.27	0.05
Tomatoes Aubergines	Indoor	0.12^f, 0.13, 0.16, 0.2, 0.26^f, 0.33, 0.35^f, 0.38	Sufficient number of GAP compliant trials in tomatoes. Extrapolation to aubergines possible	0.8	0.38	0.23
Onions Garlic Shallot	NEU	0.012^f, 0.018, 0.04^f, 0.07^f ^,, 0.087, 0.122^f, 0.18, 0.26	Sufficient number of trials compliant with the GAP. Extrapolation to shallots and garlic possible	0.5	0.26	0.08

Trials were performed with open‐leaf varieties.

NEU: Outdoor trials conducted in northern Europe; SEU: Outdoor trials conducted in southern Europe; Indoor: indoor EU trials or Country code: if non‐EU trials.

Highest residue. The highest residue for risk assessment refers to the whole commodity and not to the edible portion.

Supervised trials median residue according to the residue definition for monitoring.

The highest residue value is considered for replicate field trials values considering different experimental conditions.

The mean residue value is considered for replicate field trials values considering the same experimental conditions.
