a

For apple pomace, in the absence of processing factors supported by data, default processing factor of 5 was included in the calculation to consider the potential concentration of residues in these commodities (it is noted that the occurrence of residues between 0.05 mg/kg (LOQ of residue trials) and 0.01 mg/kg (LOQ for enforcement) cannot be excluded).

b

For oilseed meals, no default processing factor was applied because paclobutrazol is applied early in the growing season and residues are expected to be below the LOQ. Concentration of residues in these commodities is therefore not expected.
