Aiming at accelerating the implementation of cumulative risk assessment to pesticide residues, this report describes a two‐step prioritisation analysis, on individual pesticides and on target organ systems, that allows to identify (i) low‐priority substances expected to have a marginal contribution to cumulative risk, and (ii) high priority organ systems to be addressed in future cumulative risk assessments. The analysis encompassed 350 substances and 36 raw primary commodities of plant origin surveyed in the monitoring cycle 2019–2021, carried out in 30 population groups, covering 3 age classes, and 17 EU countries. Probabilistic exposure calculations, for chronic and acute effects, were executed on the occurrence and consumption data by a two‐dimensional procedure, modelling variability and uncertainty. In the first step, the prioritisation method adopted allowed to reduce the number of substances by about 80%. These substances were in turn grouped based on their capacity to cause toxicological effects on common organ systems and, as second step, probabilistic combined exposure calculations were carried out for 16 target organ systems. This step allowed to identify the organ systems that need further assessment, reducing their initial number by about 70%. The organ systems would need to be prioritised as follows: reproductive and developmental toxicity, liver, kidney, male reproductive system, and haematopoietic system and haematology. The sources of uncertainty stemming from the modelling procedure and from methodological assumptions were discussed and their impact qualitatively assessed. Overall, it was concluded that the risk estimates for the different organ systems were more likely to be overestimated than underestimated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Alluvial fans are typical geomorphic features of arid and semiarid mountain areas. Most archaeological sites in Santa María valley (NW Argentina) are located on this kind of landform. The aims of this paper are to describe the geomorphological context and assess the state of conservation of four archaeological sites on the piedmont of Sierra de Quilmes (NW Argentina) from a geoarchaeological perspective; to diagnose the geomorphological processes affecting the sites over the last 50 years; to assess their vulnerability and conservation hazard; and to propose some corrective measures. By mapping with remote sensors (e.g., drones, aerial photographs, and satellite images) and conducting field surveys, we found that most archaeological sites are set on the H1 and H2 units of the alluvial fans. and that their geomorphological dynamic has increased in the last 50 years. The main active processes are debris flows, overflows, and mudflows, accompanied by the development of rills, sheetflood, and aeolian deflation. Human impact is also severe. The four sites need mitigation measures and a structured management plan. To date, no studies of this kind have been done rin the region, although one of the sites has been partially reconstructed for touristic purposes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In-stream mining is a common aggregate mining practice around the world. However, the impacts of such practice are not always taken into account when the mines are established, and the environmental cost of in-stream aggregate mining is generally not assessed. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impacts of aggregate mining conducted in La Puerta River (Tafí valley, Northwest Argentina), a dry-pit instream mine, by considering the geomorphological, geoarchaeological, and human effects. Multitemporal analysis of the area using remote sensors (aerial photographs and satellite images 1970-2020), high-resolution drone digital elevation models and orthomosaics (2018-2019), and an intensive survey demonstrated that the mining area grew exponentially between 2002 and 2020 under unregulated mining. As a result, this practice exerts great environmental impact, including channel section alterations and destabilization of riverbanks, soil loss, river profile changes, and the formation of lag deposits of discarded materials, thus increasing environmental hazard under unpredictable flows. Finally, this is a highly touristic area that has suffered substantial landscape degradation and irreversible archaeological damage. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Memoria de tesis doctoral presentada por Paula Javiera Medina Henríquez para obtener el título de Doctora en Ciencias del Mar por la Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), realizada bajo la dirección de la Dra. Mercedes Blázquez Peinado del Institut de Ciències del Mar (ICM-CSIC) y del Dr. Mikel Latasa Arcalís.-- 209 pages, [EN] European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) aquaculture is a thriving industry in Spain where it reached about 23,500 t and a market value of approximately 133 million euros. However, most of the sea bass farms produce a high percentage of males (70-90%) since the rearing temperature is increased during the initial stages of development to speed up development and growth. This is a problem because in this species, generally, females exhibit higher growth rates than males. This situation is aggravated as nearly 30% of these males reach puberty precociously during the first year of life, before attaining commercial size. Puberty is accompanied by a decrease in growth rates as energy diverts towards gonadal growth instead of somatic growth. In addition, it comes along with muscle waste and losses in the organoleptic properties of the meat. Because of these biological responses to captive breeding, there is a great need to understand the reproductive process and its control under intensive production conditions. The main objective of this thesis is to increase the knowledge of European sea bass reproduction. It is focussed on the role of the retinoic acid (RA) signaling pathway during early development and puberty., Using a costume-made sea bass oligomicroarray we found several groups of genes that were differentially expressed in testis during the onset of male puberty. One of these groups included genes that belong to the RA signaling pathway. RA is the active form of vitamin A and is known to be essential for the onset of meiosis in tetrapods, although its role in fish is yet to be confirmed. These results prompted us to deepen on the possible role of the RA signaling pathway in gonad development and gametogenesis. An in silico analysis allowed us to describe for the first time the structure, phylogeny and evolutionary history of several genes and proteins involved in the synthesis and degradation of RA in the European sea bass. After an exhaustive histological study of gonad development, we could accurately identify specific stages of ovarian and testicular differentiation in this species. The expression of the main genes of the RA signaling pathway in specific stages of gonad development confirmed its role in the onset of puberty. Finally, an in vitro culture system of testicular explants from juvenile prepubertal fish and of testicular preparations from adult fish were set up to study the role of this pathway in the onset of puberty in sea bass males. The functional responses of genes related to RA transport, synthesis, degradation and receptor signaling were evaluated in the presence of stimulators and an inhibitors of the pathway and in different meiosis scenarios., The results show that in the sea bass: a) the onset of meiosis coincides with an increase of 11KT levels and involves several pathways, including RA signaling; b) the enzymes related to RA synthesis and degradation have all the structural features to fulfil their specific functions; c) there is a well conserved evolutionary history of the enzymes involved in RA synthesis and degradation; d) the absence of stra8, a meiosis gatekeeper present in vertebrates and also in some fish, suggests that RA signaling in this species does not occur through the transduction of this particular gene; e) the genes involved in the RA signaling pathway are evolutionarily well conserved and play an important role in gonad development and gametogenesis; f) the expression dynamics of cyp26a1 during gonad development makes it an excellent molecular marker for the onset of meiosis. This thesis increases the understanding of the early molecular and endocrine events leading to puberty in the European sea bass by characterizing the RA signaling pathway. Moreover, it provides new questions and opens a novel research line to study the role of RA in puberty, [ES] La acuicultura de la lubina Europea (Dicentrarchus labrax) es una industria pujante en España que alcanza unas 23.500 t y un valor de mercado cercano a 133 millones de euros. Sin embargo, la mayoría de las piscifactorías produce un elevado porcentaje de machos (70-90%) ya que, para acelerar el desarrollo y el crecimiento, se aumentan las temperaturas de cultivo durante las primeras etapas de vida. Esto supone un problema en la lubina ya que generalmente las hembras presentan mayores tasas de crecimiento que los machos y que el 30% de estos alcanza la pubertad precozmente durante el primer año de vida, antes de llegar a la talla comercial. Además, la pubertad está acompañada por una disminución de las tasas de crecimiento somático que implica un desgaste muscular y pérdidas en la calidad organoléptica de la carne. Debido a estas respuestas biológicas, existe una gran necesidad de comprender el proceso reproductivo y su control en condiciones intensivas de producción. El objetivo general de esta tesis es contribuir al conocimiento de la reproducción de la lubina europea, y se centra en el estudio de la ruta de señalización del ácido retinoico (RA) durante estados tempranos del desarrollo y la maduración sexual., La utilización de un oligomicroarray de lubina, indicó la existencia de varios genes con expresión diferencial al inicio de la pubertad en machos. Entre ellos seleccionamos un grupo que incluía genes de la vía de señalización del RA, la forma activa de la vitamina A, fundamental para el inicio de la meiosis en tetrápodos. Un análisis in silico nos permitió describir por primera vez, la estructura, filogenia y la historia evolutiva de genes y proteínas implicados en la síntesis y degradación del RA. Tras un exhaustivo estudio histológico del desarrollo gonadal pudimos identificar con exactitud estados específicos de la diferenciación ovárica y testicular. El estudio de la expresión de los principales genes de la ruta de señalización del RA en estados específicos del desarrollo gonadal sirvió para demostrar su papel en el inicio de la pubertad. Finalmente, se puso a punto un sistema de cultivo in vitro de explantes testiculares de individuos prepúberes tanto juveniles como adultos para el estudio funcional y la determinación del papel de la ruta de señalización del RA en el inicio de la pubertad en machos. Con este fin se evaluó la respuesta funcional de los genes relacionados con el transporte, síntesis, degradación y señalización del RA ante la presencia de estimuladores e inhibidores de la vía y en diferentes escenarios de meiosis., Los resultados de la tesis demuestran que en la lubina: a) el inicio de la meiosis coincide con un aumento en los niveles de 11KT y que involucra varias rutas, entre ellas la de señalización del RA; b) las enzimas relacionadas con la síntesis y degradación del RA poseen todas las características estructurales para poder cumplir su función; c) existe una historia evolutiva bien conservada de las enzimas implicadas en la síntesis y degradación del RA, d) al igual que en otros teleósteos, la ausencia de stra8, marcador específico de meiosis en tetrápodos, sugiere que la señalización del RA en esta especie no ocurre a través de la transducción de este gen en particular; e) los genes implicados en la vía de señalización del RA están conservados, igual que en otros vertebrados, y juegan un papel relevante en el desarrollo gonadal y la gametogénesis, f) la dinámica de expresión del gen cyp26a1 durante el desarrollo gonadal le convierte en un excelente marcador molecular del inicio de la meiosis. Esta tesis contribuye al conocimiento del inicio de la pubertad en la lubina al caracterizar por primera vez la ruta de señalización del RA en esta especie y al proponer herramientas moleculares para su estudio. Además, aporta nuevas preguntas y abre una importante línea de investigación para el estudio del RA en la pubertad, La financiación económica para la experimentación se ha recibido a través de los siguientes Proyectos de Investigación: * Mejora de la producción en acuicultura mediante el uso de herramientas biotecnológicas CSD2007-00002 (AQUAGENOMICS). * Bases moleculares, celulares y endocrinas de la pubertad y del desarrollo gonadal en lubina (Dicentrarchus labrax).

According to Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, EFSA has reviewed the maximum residue levels (MRLs) currently established at European level for the pesticide active substance chlorpyrifos‐methyl. To assess the occurrence of chlorpyrifos‐methyl residues in plants, processed commodities, rotational crops and livestock, EFSA considered the conclusions derived in the framework of Directive 91/414/EEC, the MRLs established by the Codex Alimentarius Commission as well as the European authorisations reported by Member States (including the supporting residues data). Based on the assessment of the available data, MRL proposals were derived and a consumer risk assessment was carried out. Some information required by the regulatory framework was missing and a possible chronic risk to consumers was identified. Hence, the consumer risk assessment is considered indicative only, some MRL proposals derived by EFSA still require further consideration by risk managers and measures for reduction of the consumer exposure should also be considered., This publication is linked to the following EFSA Journal article: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.2903/j.efsa.2017.4733/full, http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.2903/j.efsa.2017.4735/full

Abstract: In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the applicant LTZ Augustenberg submitted a request to the competent national authority in Germany to modify the existing maximum residue levels (MRLs) for the active substance potassium phosphonates in raspberries, blackberries, currants, blueberries, gooseberries and elderberries. The data submitted in support of the request were found to be sufficient to derive MRL proposals for all crops under consideration. Adequate analytical methods for enforcement are available to control the residues of potassium phosphonates in plant matrices under consideration. Based on the risk assessment results, EFSA concluded that the proposed uses of potassium phosphonates on raspberries, blackberries, currants, blueberries, gooseberries and elderberries will not result in a consumer exposure exceeding the toxicological reference values and therefore are unlikely to present a risk to consumers’ health.

FLUQUINCONAZOLE ,FUNGICIDES ,PESTICIDES ,HOST plants ,DATA extraction - Abstract
Abstract: According to Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, EFSA has reviewed the maximum residue levels (MRLs) currently established at European level for the pesticide active substance fluquinconazole. Considering the information provided by Member States, neither EU uses nor import tolerances are currently authorised for fluquinconazole within the European Union. Furthermore, no MRLs are established by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (codex maximum residue limits) for this active substance. Therefore, residues of fluquinconazole are not expected to occur in any plant or animal commodity. Nevertheless, available data allowed EFSA to propose a marker residue and limit of quantifications (LOQs) for enforcement against potential illegal uses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

ALMOND ,COMMERCIAL products ,FOOD chemistry ,RISK mitigation of pesticides - Abstract
In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the applicant Gowan Crop Protection Ltd submitted a request to the competent national authority in Greece to set an import tolerance for the active substance fenazaquin in almonds. The data submitted in support of the request were found to be sufficient to derive a maximum residue level (MRL) proposal for almonds. Adequate analytical methods for enforcement are available to control the residues of fenazaquin and its metabolites on the commodities under consideration at the validated limit of quantification (LOQ) of 0.01 mg/kg. Based on the risk assessment results, EFSA concluded that the short-term and long-term intake of residues resulting from the use fenazaquin according to the reported agricultural practices is unlikely to present a risk to European consumers. The chronic consumer risk assessment is affected by non-standard uncertainties due to the lack of information on the occurrence of the metabolite 2-(4-tert-butylphenyl) ethanol (TBPE) in crops where the use of fenazaquin is the authorised in Europe. The reliable end points, appropriate for use in regulatory risk assessment are presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: According to Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, EFSA has reviewed the maximum residue levels (MRLs) currently established at European level for the pesticide active substance 2,5‐dichlorobenzoic acid methylester. To assess the occurrence of 2,5‐dichlorobenzoic acid methylester residues in plants, processed commodities, rotational crops and livestock, EFSA considered the conclusions derived in the framework of Directive 91/414/EEC as well as the European authorisations reported by Member States. No risk to consumers is expected from the authorised uses. However, due to the lack of data, it was not possible to identify a relevant marker compound and to derive MRLs. Hence, if risk managers would have interest to enforce potential misuses, further data may need to be generated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

CHLORANTRANILIPROLE ,PESTICIDE residues in food ,RISK assessment of pesticides ,FOOD safety ,HOPS - Abstract
Abstract: In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the applicant DuPont de Nemours (Deutschland) GmbH submitted a request to the competent national authority in France to set an import tolerance for the active substance chlorantraniliprole in hops. The data submitted in support of the request were found to be sufficient to derive an maximum residue level (MRL) proposal for hops in support of the authorised use in the USA. Adequate analytical methods for enforcement are available to control the residues of chlorantraniliprole in hops at the validated limit of quantification (LOQ) of 0.01 mg/kg. Based on the risk assessment results, EFSA concluded that the long‐term intake of residues resulting from the existing uses and the authorised use of chlorantraniliprole according to the reported agricultural practice is unlikely to present a risk to consumer health. The reliable end points, appropriate for use in regulatory risk assessment are presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the applicant LSA (Landesanstalt Sachsen‐Anhalt) submitted a request to the competent national authority in Germany to modify the existing maximum residue levels (MRLs) for the active substance clomazone in chamomiles and plantains. The data submitted in support of the request were found to be sufficient to derive MRL proposals for the crops under consideration. Adequate analytical methods for enforcement are available to control the residues of clomazone in plant matrices on the crops under consideration at the validated limit of quantification (LOQ) of 0.01 mg/kg. Based on the risk assessment results, EFSA concluded that the short‐term and long‐term intake of residues resulting from the use of clomazone according to the reported agricultural practice is unlikely to present a risk to consumer health. Restrictions on crop rotation as an appropriate risk mitigation measure should be taken into consideration at national level in order to avoid the occurrence of clomazone residues in rotational crops.

IMAZALIL ,FUNGICIDE residues in food ,FOOD safety ,RISK assessment ,PLANT metabolites - Abstract
Abstract: In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the Imazalil Task Force submitted a request to the competent national authority in the Netherlands to change the existing maximum residue levels (MRLs) for the active substance imazalil in products of plant and animal origin. The evaluating Member State (EMS) proposed to modify the existing MRLs only in citrus fruits and bananas and, due to transfer of residues, in bovine and equine livers. EFSA assessed the intended uses in citrus fruits, but not the use in bananas, since compared with the previously performed MRL review no new information was provided in the context of the MRL application. For the intended uses in citrus fruits and for animal products, EFSA did not derive MRL proposals. A decision on the amendment of MRL for the intended uses needs to be postponed, until the risk assessment for the plant metabolite R014821 and for the metabolites identified in livestock (i.e. FK‐772 and FK‐284) is completed with regard to genotoxicity and general toxicity; data need to be provided to derive a conclusion whether the toxicological reference values derived for imazalil are also applicable for the metabolites. Upon conclusion on the toxicological properties of the metabolites, a decision on the residue definition for risk assessment cannot be derived which is a prerequisite to perform a reliable dietary risk assessment.

Abstract: In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the applicant Nature's Crops International submitted a request to the competent national authority in the United Kingdom to modify the existing maximum residue level (MRL) for the active substance thiacloprid in corn gromwell seeds. Furthermore, the competent national authority in Belgium compiled an application to modify the existing MRL for the active substance thiacloprid in radish. The renewal process for thiacloprid is currently ongoing; in 2015, the Committee for Risk Assessment concluded that the classification as Cat. 1B for adverse effects on development according to CLP criteria is warranted (H360FD). Considering that there is strong evidence that this active substance meets the cut‐off criteria for non‐approval defined in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, further risk management considerations have to be taken into account before a decision on the amendment of the existing MRLs is taken. The data submitted were compliant with the currently applicable legal requirement to derive MRL proposals for corn gromwell seeds and radish. The estimated exposure resulting from the residues of thiacloprid in corn gromwell seeds and radishes is not expected to exceed the toxicological reference values. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: According to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 on maximum residue levels of pesticides in or on food and feed, Member States have to monitor pesticide residue levels in food samples and submit the monitoring results to EFSA and the European Commission. The Standard Sample Description (SSD, version 1) is the data model used for reporting the data on analytical measurements of chemical substances occurring in food, feed and water to EFSA. This document is a consolidated version of the past 3 years’ guidance defining the appropriate SSD codes to describe the samples and the analytical results and it gives directions for the reporting of the pesticide residues monitoring data starting with the data generated in 2017 onwards. These provisions take into account the experience of both the previous reporting seasons and the new legislation applicable in 2017. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

PROCHLORAZ ,SUGAR beets ,AGRICULTURAL wastes ,RISK assessment ,SWINE physiology ,MANAGEMENT - Abstract
In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the applicant ADAMA Agriculture BV submitted an application to the competent national authority in Belgium (evaluating Member State (EMS)) to modify the existing maximum residue levels (MRLs) for the active substance prochloraz in sugar beet root and in liver and kidney of swine and ruminant. The data submitted in support of the request were found to be sufficient to derive an MRL proposal for sugar beet root. Residues in sugar beet tops from the new use were found to contribute significantly to the livestock exposure. As the dietary burden needs to be calculated including all feed items and since not all information is available at the moment, EFSA proposes to assess the magnitude of prochloraz residues in animal commodities under the currently ongoing review of prochloraz MRLs according to Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. Adequate analytical methods are available to control the residues of prochloraz residues in plant and animal matrices. The risk assessment performed by EFSA gave an indication that residues of prochloraz may lead to an exceedance of the acceptable daily intake (ADI). Thus, before the MRL for sugar beet is amended, it is necessary that a comprehensive, refined risk assessment is performed, taking into account all existing uses of prochloraz and the intended new use on sugar beet. Considering that the MRL review for prochloraz is currently ongoing, the results of the comprehensive risk assessment will be available in due time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the applicant Sumitomo Chemical Agro Europe S.A.S. submitted a request to the competent national authority in France, to modify the existing maximum residue levels (MRLs) for the active substance fenpyrazamine in lamb's lettuces, lettuces, escaroles, dandelions, cresses, land cresses, rucola, red mustards, spinaches, purslanes and chards/beet leaves. The data submitted in support of the request were found to be sufficient to derive MRL proposals for lamb's lettuces/corn salads, lettuces, escaroles/broad-leaved endives (including dandelions), cresses, land cresses, roman rocket/rucola, red mustards, spinaches, purslanes and chards/beet leaves. Adequate analytical methods for enforcement are available to control the residues of fenpyrazamine in the crops assessed in this application according to the enforcement residue definition. The methods enable quantification of residues in the crops assessed at or above 0.01 mg/kg (limit of quantification (LOQ)). Based on the risk assessment results, EFSA concluded that the short-term and long-term intake of residues resulting from the use of fenpyrazamine on lamb's lettuces/corn salads, lettuces, cresses, land cresses, roman rocket/rucola, red mustards, spinaches, purslanes and chards/beet leaves according to the reported agricultural practice is unlikely to present a risk to consumer health. According to the internationally agreed methodology for short-term exposure estimation (IESTI), the acute reference dose (ARfD) was not exceeded for the intended use of fenpyrazamine on escaroles (97.6%), and thus, there is a narrow safety margin.

According to Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, EFSA has reviewed the maximum residue levels (MRLs) currently established at European level for the pesticide active substance denathonium benzoate. Considering that this active substance is not authorised for use on edible crops within the EU, that no MRLs are established by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (codex maximum residue limits), and that no import tolerances were notified to EFSA, residues of denathonium benzoate are not expected to occur in any plant or animal commodity. Available data were not sufficient to derive any enforcement measure against potential illegal uses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
According to Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, EFSA has reviewed the maximum residue levels (MRLs) currently established at European level for the pesticide active substance tebufenozide. To assess the occurrence of tebufenozide residues in plants, processed commodities, rotational crops and livestock, EFSA considered the conclusions derived in the framework of Directive 91/414/EEC, the MRLs established by the Codex Alimentarius Commission as well as the European authorisations reported by Member States (including the supporting residues data). Based on the assessment of the available data, MRL proposals were derived and a consumer risk assessment was carried out. Although no apparent risk to consumers was identified, some information required by the regulatory framework was missing. Hence, the consumer risk assessment is considered indicative only and some MRL proposals derived by EFSA still require further consideration by risk managers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the applicants Bayer CropScience Europe and Oxon Italia S.p.A. submitted requests to the competent national authority in Spain and Italy, respectively, to modify the existing maximum residue levels (MRLs) for fosetyl in peach and potato from the intended southern Europe (SEU) uses of fosetyl‐Al. The applicants Adama Agriculture B.V., Fitosanitarios Bajo Riesgo AIE and Almond Board of California submitted each an application to the competent national authority in France to modify the MRLs for fosetyl‐Al in pome fruits, peaches and tree nuts (except coconut) for the intended/authorised uses of the active substance potassium phosphonates. The data submitted in support of the requests were found to be sufficient to derive MRL proposals for all the crops under consideration. Adequate analytical methods for enforcement are available to control the residues of fosetyl‐Al and phosphonic acid in plant matrices under consideration. EFSA concluded that the proposed use of fosetyl‐Al on potatoes and the proposed uses of potassium phosphonates on pome fruits and peaches and the authorised use of potassium phosphonates on tree nuts in the United States are unlikely to result in a consumer exposure exceeding the toxicological reference values for phosphonic acid and fosetyl and therefore are unlikely to pose a risk to consumers’ health. However, the risk assessment is considered to be tentative and has to be updated as soon as the approval of the renewal of fosetyl and the review of existing uses of potassium phosphonates and disodium phosphonate is finalised.

In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the applicant Arysta LifeScience Benelux SPRL submitted a request to the competent national authority in Italy, to modify the existing maximum residue level (MRL) for the active substance pyrimethanil in cucurbits with edible peel. The data submitted in support of the request were found to be sufficient to derive a MRL proposal for cucurbits with edible peel. Adequate analytical methods for enforcement are available to control the residues of pyrimethanil on the commodities under consideration at the validated limit of quantification (LOQ) of 0.01 mg/kg. Based on the risk assessment results, EFSA concluded that the short-term and long-term intake of residues resulting from the use of pyrimethanil according to the reported agricultural practice is unlikely to present a risk to consumer health.

In accordance with the Article 53 of the Regulation (EC) 1107/2009, Greece granted a 120-day emergency authorisation for the use of mepiquat in cotton following an application by the Hellenic Ministry of Rural Development and Food. To accommodate for the use of mepiquat according to the authorised good agricultural practices, Greece submitted an application to set a temporary maximum residue level (tMRL) for the active substance mepiquat in cotton seed in line with Article 16(1) in conjunction with Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. Greece, as evaluating Member State (EMS), drafted an evaluation report in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, which was submitted to the European Commission and forwarded to EFSA. EFSA has assessed the available data and performed a risk assessment as regards the risks to consumers related to the exposure of mepiquat chloride in cotton seed. Several risk management options were derived in response to the request to amend the existing MRL for cotton seed. EFSA did not confirm the need to modify the existing MRLs for animal products as suggested by Greece. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
