Code(a) Commodity Existing EU MRL (mg/kg) Proposed EU MRL (mg/kg) Comment/justification
Enforcement residue definition: Prothioconazole: prothioconazole‐desthio (sum of isomers)
0220010 Garlic 0.01* 0.02

The submitted data are sufficient to derive an MRL proposal for both the intended NEU and SEU use.

Risk for consumers unlikely for the residues of prothioconazole including its triazole derivative metabolites (TDMs).

Member States should consider the need to setting specific risk mitigation measures to avoid additional contribution of TDM residues in rotational crops from the intended use of prothioconazole on garlic, onions and shallots

0220020 Onions 0.05 (ft) 0.02
0220030 Shallots 0.05 (ft) 0.02

MRL: maximum residue level; NEU: northern Europe; SEU: southern Europe.

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

(a) Commodity code number according to Annex I of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.

(ft) 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 (Regulation (EU) No 2019/552).
