Commodity Region (a) Residue levels observed in the supervised residue trials (mg/kg) Comments/Source Calculated MRL (mg/kg) HR (b) (mg/kg) STMR (c) (mg/kg) CF (d)
Linseed/flax, poppy seeds, mustard and gold of pleasure seeds NEU

Oilseed rape trials (unscaled): 2 × < 0.01; 0.01; 0.037

Oilseed rape trials scaled to cGAP rate: 3 × < 0.01; 0.029

Residue trials on oilseed rape are overdosed compared to the cGAP, all other parameters are compliant. Residue levels are scaled down according to proportionality principle and extrapolated to Linseed/flax, poppy seeds, mustard and gold of pleasure seeds 0.06 0.03 0.01 n/a
Honey NEU

GAP1: 2 × 80 g a.s./ha, interval = 7–10 days, BBCH 61–65, PHI 5–19 days ( Austria, 2021 ): 0.03, 0.09, 0.16, 0.85 (Underline: no control sample available)

GAP2: 2 × 100 g a.s./ha, interval = 10–13 days, BBCH 61–67, PHI 4–24 days (EFSA, 2021): 2 × < 0.05; 0.051, 0.162

Combined data sets (excluding the two trials with no control samples): 0.03, 2 × < 0.05, 0.051, 0.09, 0.162

Residue levels determined in honey from different sets of residue trials performed in semi‐field/tunnels using Phacelia tanacetifolia as surrogate crops with melliferous properties (Austria, 2021; EFSA, 2021).

(a)

NEU: Outdoor trials conducted in northern Europe, SEU: Outdoor trials conducted in southern Europe, EU: indoor EU trials or Country code: if non‐EU trials.

(b)

Highest residue. The highest residue for risk assessment refers to the whole commodity and not to the edible portion.

(c)

Supervised trials median residue. The median residue for risk assessment refers to the whole commodity and not to the edible portion.

(d)

Conversion factor to recalculate residues according to the residue definition for monitoring to the residue definition for risk assessment.
