Modification of the existing maximum residue level for oxathiapiprolin in kales/radish leaves

Abstract In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the applicant DLR‐Rheinpfalz submitted a request to the competent national authority in Germany to modify the existing maximum residue level (MRL) for the active substance oxathiapiprolin in kales, with the specific intention to derive an MRL in radish leaves (classified under the subgroup of kales), based on an intended NEU use on radishes. The residue data in radish leaves submitted in support of the request were found to be sufficient to derive MRL proposal for this commodity which could be applicable also for kales. Adequate analytical methods for enforcement are available to control the residues of oxathiapiprolin in radishes at the validated LOQ of 0.01 mg/kg. Based on the risk assessment results, EFSA concluded that the long‐term intake of residues resulting from the use of oxathiapiprolin on radishes according to the reported agricultural practice is unlikely to present a risk to consumer health.
