In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the Federal Public Service Health, Food chain Safety and Environment of Belgium, submitted an application to modify the existing maximum residue levels (MRLs) for the active substance flonicamid in blueberries, cranberries, currants, gooseberries and strawberries. The data submitted in support of the request were found to be sufficient to derive MRL proposals for the crops assessed. Adequate analytical methods for enforcement are available to control the residues of flonicamid in plant matrices under consideration at the validated limit of quantification (LOQ) of 0.01 mg/kg for each analyte included in the residue definition (combined LOQ of 0.03 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 flonicamid according to the reported agricultural practices is unlikely to present a risk to consumer health.

In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the applicant Landwirtschaftliches Technologiezentrum Augustenberg submitted a request to the competent national authority in Germany to modify the existing maximum residue levels (MRLs) for the active substance spirotetramat in crops belonging to the group of other small fruits and berries. The data submitted to support the MRL application were sufficient to derive MRL proposals for the crops concerned. Adequate analytical methods are available to enforce the proposed MRLs. Based on the risk assessment results, EFSA concluded that the short‐term and long‐term intake of residues resulting from the use of spirotetramat according to the reported agricultural practices is unlikely to present a risk to consumer health.

“…The evaluation reports submitted by the EMS (United Kingdom, ,b) and the exposure calculations using revision 3.1 of the EFSA Pesticide Residues Intake Model (PRIMo) (EFSA, ) are considered as supporting documents to this reasoned opinion and, thus, are made publicly available as background documents to this reasoned opinion.…”

“…EFSA performed a dietary risk assessment for the agreed residue definitions using revision 3.1 of the EFSA PRIMo (EFSA, , ). This exposure assessment model contains food consumption data for different subgroups of the EU population and allows the acute and chronic exposure assessment to be performed in accordance with the internationally agreed methodology for pesticide residues (FAO, ).…”

In accordance with Article 53 of Regulation (EC) 1107/2009, the United Kingdom granted two 120-day emergency authorisations for the use of plant protection products containing the active substance cyantraniliprole in Chinese cabbages, raspberries and blackberries. The applicants (Agriculture & Horticulture Development Board (AHDB)) and FMC Agro Ltd) requested the setting of temporary maximum residue levels (MRLs) for cyantraniliprole in Chinese cabbages, raspberries and blackberries. The United Kingdom, as evaluating Member State (EMS), summarised the data provided by the applicants in two evaluation reports which were submitted to the European Commission and forwarded to EFSA. Adequate analytical methods for enforcement are available to control the residues of cyantraniliprole on the commodities under consideration at the validated limit of quantification (LOQ) of 0.01 mg/kg. Sufficient residue trials were submitted to calculate MRL proposals for the crops under assessment. Based on the risk assessment results, EFSA concluded that the long-term intake of residues resulting from the use of parent cyantraniliprole in crops under assessment according to the reported emergency agricultural practice is unlikely to present a risk to consumer health. Due to data gaps related to the toxicological profile of degradation products generated during processing, the risk assessment for processed products could not be finalised.
