SEU < 0.01; < 0.01; < 0.01; < 0.01; < 0.01 Trials on head cabbage with dose rate within the 25% deviation (Portugal, 2018). In two trials, highest residues were found in outer leaves (0.62; 0.25) giving indication that results were reported for the head without outer leaves. Therefore, data were considered not appropriated to derive an MRL reflecting the GAP
