EFSA Panel on EFSA Panel on Plant Protection Products and their Residues (PPR)
In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the evaluating Member State (EMS), Belgium, compiled an application to modify the existing maximum residue level (MRL) for the active substance ametoctradin in spring onions. Belgium 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. According to EFSA the available residue trials on leek are sufficient to derive a MRL proposal of 5 mg/kg, extrapolated to spring onions. Based on the risk assessment results, EFSA concludes that the proposed use of ametoctradin on spring onions will not result in a consumer exposure exceeding the toxicological reference value and therefore is unlikely to pose a consumer health risk.
