Proposed

EU MRL (mg/kg)

Comment/justificationb
Enforcement residue definition: Difenoconazole
0140010 Apricots 0.5 0.7 SEU use supported. No consumer health risk was identified
0152000 Strawberries 0.4 0.5 Indoor and NEU/SEU uses supported. No consumer health risk was identified
0242010 Brussels sprouts 0.2 0.3 NEU/SEU uses supported. No consumer health risk was identified
0242020 Head cabbages 0.2 0.3 NEU/SEU uses supported. No consumer health risk was identified
0251020 Lettuces 3 4 Indoor and NEU/SEU uses supported. No consumer health risk was identified
0251030 Scaroles (broad‐leaf endives) 0.05* 0.8 Extrapolated from lettuces. Proposed MRL is derived from outdoor NEU/SEU uses (no consumer health risk was identified for the outdoor NEU/SEU uses). An acute intake concern was identified for the indoor use
0251040 Cresses 0.05* 4

Extrapolated from lettuce (indoor uses).

Indoor and NEU/SEU uses supported.

No consumer health risk was identified

0251050 Land cresses 0.05* 4
0251070 Red mustards 0.05* 4
0251080 Leaves and sprouts of Brassica spp., including turnip greens 0.05* 4
0251990 Other lettuces and salad plants 0.05* 4
0252030 Beat leaves (chards) 0.2 4

Extrapolated from lettuce (indoor uses). Indoor and NEU/SEU uses supported.

No consumer health risk was identified

0256020 Chives 2 4

Extrapolated from lettuce (indoor uses). Indoor and NEU/SEU uses supported.

No consumer health risk was identified

0256050 Sage 2 4
0256060 Rosemary 2 4
0256070 Thyme 2 4
0256090 Bay leaves (laurel) 2 4
0256100 Tarragon 2 4
0256990 Other herbs and edible flowers 2 4
0270020 Cardoons 4 7 Indoor and NEU/SEU uses supported by extrapolation from celery. No consumer health risk was identified
0270030 Celeries 5 7 Indoor and SEU uses supported. NEU use not supported. No consumer health risk was identified
0270060 Leeks 0.5 0.6 NEU/SEU uses supported. No consumer health risk was identified
0270070 Rhubarbs 0.3 0.5 Extrapolated from data on celery stems. NEU/SEU use supported. No consumer health risk was identified
0300010 Beans 0.05* 0.06 NEU and SEU use supported by extrapolation from combined data set of residues on peas. No consumer health risk was identified. No modification of the MRL is required for dry peas since the existing MRL for this commodity is already covering the new GAP for pulses
0300020 Lentils 0.05* 0.06
0300040 Lupins 0.05* 0.06
0300990 Other pulses 0.05* 0.06
0840000 Roots or rhizome 0.3 3 NEU and SEU uses supported by extrapolation from carrots applying a dehydration factor of 8. No consumer health risk was identified
0500010 Barley 0.05 0.3 NEU use supported. No consumer health risk was identified

*Indicates that the MRL is set at the limit of analytical quantification (LOQ).

MRL: maximum residue level; NEU: northern Europe; SEU: southern Europe; GAP: Good Agricultural Practice.
