0300010 Beans 0.05 (ft 3) Further risk management considerations required The data gaps identified by EFSA concerning residue trials and storage stability have not been addressedSince data gaps are not addressed, risk managers may consider lowering of the existing MRL to the LOQ of 0.02 mg/kg
0300020 Lentils 1 (ft 3) The existing EU MRL reflects CXL MRLThe data gaps identified by EFSA concerning residue trials and storage stability have not been addressedSince data gaps are not addressed, risk managers may consider lowering of the existing MRL to the LOQ of 0.02 mg/kg
0300030 Peas 1 (ft 3)
0300040 Lupins/lupini beans 1 (ft 3)
0401010 Linseeds 0.09 (ft 3) 0.09 The data gaps identified in the MRL review concerning residue trials and storage stability have been addressed The MRL is confirmed. Risk for consumers unlikely
0401020 Peanuts/groundnuts 0.02* (ft 3) 0.02* The existing EU MRL reflects the CXL MRL. The data gap identified by EFSA concerning storage stability has been addressed. The data gap concerning residue trials is considered addressed since for oilseeds a reliable conversion factor of 2 from enforcement to risk assessment is derived from submitted residue trials on oilseed rape. The MRL is confirmed. Risk for consumers unlikely
0401030 Poppy seeds 0.09 (ft 3) 0.09 The data gaps identified by EFSA concerning residue trials and storage stability have been addressed. The MRL is confirmed. Risk for consumers unlikely
0401060 Rapeseeds/canola seeds 0.15 (ft 3) 0.2 The data gaps identified by EFSA concerning residue trials and storage stability have been addressed. The additional residue trials submitted in support of the intended SEU use indicated that a higher MRL would be required. Risk for consumers unlikely
0401080 Mustard seeds 0.09 (ft 3) 0.09 The data gaps identified by EFSA concerning residue trials and storage stability have been addressed. The MRL is confirmed. Risk for consumers unlikely
0401130 Gold of pleasure seeds 0.04 (ft 3) 0.04 The data gap identified by EFSA concerning storage stability has been addressedThe data gap concerning residue trials is considered addressed since for oilseeds a reliable conversion factor of 2 from enforcement to risk assessment is derived from submitted residue trials on oilseed rapeThe MRL is confirmed. Risk for consumers unlikely
0500010 Barley 0.2 (ft 3) Further risk management considerations required The existing EU MRL reflects CXL MRLThe data gap identified by EFSA concerning residue trials is not addressed. The data gap identified by EFSA concerning storage stability has been addressedSince the data gaps are not fully addressed, risk managers may consider lowering of the existing MRL to the LOQ of 0.02 mg/kg
0500050 Oat 0.05 (ft 3)
0500070 Rye 0.05 (ft 3) 0.05 The existing EU MRL reflects CXL MRLThe data gap identified by EFSA concerning residue trials for NEU use is not addressed. The data gap identified by EFSA concerning storage stability has been addressedSince the data gaps are not fully addressed, risk managers may consider lowering of the existing MRL to the LOQ of 0.02 mg/kg
0500090 Wheat 0.1 (ft 3) 0.1 The existing EU MRL reflects CXL MRLFor the authorised SEU use the data gaps identified by EFSA concerning residue trials and storage stability has been addressed. The tentative MRL of 0.02* mg/kg as derived by MRL review is confirmed. Risk for consumers unlikely
1011030 Swine liver 0.5 (ft 4) Further risk management considerations required The residue trials on grass (major component of livestock dietary burden) have not been submitted and thus the EU livestock dietary burden from existing EU uses including grass cannot be properly calculatedThe relevance of this data gap shall be considered by risk managers, given the fact that the existing EU MRLs for commodities of animal origin are based on CXLs (in 2018 lowered to 0.3 mg/kg), which are derived for significantly higher livestock dietary burdens

The European Food Safety Authority identified some information on residue trials and storage stability data complying with the proposed residue definition as unavailable. When re‐viewing the MRL, the Commission will take into account the information referred to in the first sentence, if it is submitted by 27 January 2018, or, if that information is not submitted by that date, the lack of it. (Footnote related to data gaps No 3 and 5).
