Abstract
In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the applicant Syngenta Crop Protection AG submitted a request to the competent national authority in France to modify the existing maximum residue levels (MRLs) for the active substance oxathiapiprolin in Brussels sprouts, kales, watercresses, herbs and edible flowers (excluding basil and edible flowers). The data submitted in support of the request were found to be sufficient to derive MRL proposals for all the crops under assessment. The potential carry-over of residues into honey from the relevant intended uses on mellifluous crops is covered by the existing MRL in honey. Adequate analytical methods for enforcement are available to control the residues of oxathiapiprolin in plant matrices and in honey matrix 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 intended and authorised uses of oxathiapiprolin according to the reported agricultural practices, and of residues expected in honey, is unlikely to present a risk to consumer health.
