Codea Commodity Existing EU MRL (mg/kg) Proposed EU MRL (mg/kg) Comment/justification
Enforcement residue definition: Acetamiprid
0140040 Plums 0.03 0.04 The submitted data are sufficient to derive an MRL proposal for the intended NEU/SEU use. Risk for consumers unlikely.
0231030 Aubergines 0.2 0.4 Data on tomatoes extrapolated to aubergines. The MRL proposal reflects the more critical residue situation of the intended indoor use. Risk for consumers unlikely.
0231020 Sweet peppers/bell peppers 0.3 0.4 The submitted data are sufficient to derive an MRL proposal for the intended indoor use. Risk for consumers unlikely.
0232010 Cucumbers 0.3 0.4 The MRL proposal reflects the most critical residue situation of the intended indoor use. Risk for consumers unlikely. A separate MRL is currently set on gherkins at 0.6 mg/kg, which is not exceeded by the submitted residue data set.
0232030 Courgettes 0.3 0.4
0232090 Other cucurbits with edible peel 0.3 0.4
0401030 Poppy seeds 0.01* 0.3 Data on oilseed rape extrapolated to poppy seeds. The submitted data are sufficient to derive an MRL proposal for the intended NEU use. Risk for consumers unlikely.
0401080 Mustard seeds 0.01* 0.15 Data on oilseed rape extrapolated to mustard seeds. The submitted data are sufficient to derive a MRL proposal for the intended NEU use. Risk for consumers unlikely.
163050 Granate apples/pomegranates 0.01* 0.3 The submitted data are sufficient to derive a MRL proposal for the intended SEU use. Risk for consumers unlikely.
1040000 Honey and other apiculture products 0.05* 0.3 The MRL proposal reflects residues in honey from the critical authorised use and intended EU uses of acetamiprid on melliferous crops. MRL in honey is derived from semi‐field/tunnel trials performed on Phacelia tanacetifolia. Risk for consumers unlikely.

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

*

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