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]

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]

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 fenpyrazamine. To assess the occurrence of fenpyrazamine 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 (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 unacceptable risk to consumers was identified, some information required by the regulatory framework was missing. Hence, the consumer risk assessment is considered indicative only and one MRL proposal derived by EFSA still requires further consideration by risk managers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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 carboxin. To assess the occurrence of carboxin 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 (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 risk to consumers cannot be excluded for the existing EU MRLs. Hence, the consumer risk assessment is considered indicative only and all MRL proposals derived by EFSA still require further consideration by risk managers and measures for reduction of the consumer exposure should also be considered.

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 imazalil. To assess the occurrence of imazalil residues in plants, processed commodities, rotational crops and livestock, EFSA considered the conclusions derived in the framework of Directive 91/414/EEC and under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, 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 and acute 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.

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 all MRL proposals derived by EFSA still require further consideration by risk managers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

To assess the occurrence of triflumizole 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 import tolerances and European authorisations reported by Member States (including the supporting residues data).

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 pencycuron. To assess the occurrence of pencycuron residues in plants, processed commodities, rotational crops and livestock, EFSA considered the conclusions derived in the framework of Commission Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 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 risk to consumers was identified. Hence, the consumer risk assessment is considered indicative only and no MRL proposals were derived by EFSA. Further consideration by risk managers are needed and measures for reduction of the consumer exposure should also be considered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In compliance with Article 43 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, EFSA received a mandate from the European Commission to provide an update of the reasoned opinion on the review of existing maximum residue levels (MRLs) for imazalil published on 5 September 2017, taking into account the additional information provided on the toxicity of the metabolites R014821, FK‐772 and FK‐284. EFSA did not derive MRL proposals from the post‐harvest uses reported on citrus fruits, apples, pears, potatoes, bananas and melons because the assessment of the toxicological properties of the metabolite R014821 (expected to occur following post‐harvest application of imazalil) could not be finalised. Risk managers should be made aware that the genotoxic potential of the metabolite R014821 could not be ruled out. For all these commodities, a decision on the residue definition for risk assessment could not be taken, which is a perquisite to perform a reliable dietary risk assessment. For the other commodities and considering fall‐back Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) when possible, some information required by the regulatory framework was missing. Hence, although no apparent risk to consumers was identified, the consumer risk assessment is considered indicative only and some MRL proposals derived by EFSA still require further consideration by risk managers. It is noted that MRL proposals in commodities of animal origin were not derived because, provided that GAPs with post‐harvest applications would be withdrawn, the livestock exposure is not expected to exceed the trigger value. Nevertheless, it is noted that lacking of information/data (in particular on the toxicity of metabolites FK‐772 ad FK‐284) was also identified, which prevent from proposing residue definition for enforcement and risk assessment in livestock commodities.
