Abstract

In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the applicant Bayer CropScience Deutschland GmbH submitted a request to the competent national authority in Germany to modify the existing maximum residue levels (MRLs) for the active substance prothioconazole in sugar beet roots and chicory roots. The data submitted in support of the request were found to be sufficient to derive MRL proposals for sugar beet roots and chicory root. Adequate analytical methods for enforcement are available to control the residues of prothioconazole on the commodities under consideration at the validated limit of quantification (LOQ) of 0.02 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 prothioconazole according to the reported agricultural practices is unlikely to present a risk to consumer health. An indicative exposure assessment to triazole derivative metabolites from the intended uses of prothioconazole did not indicate consumer intake concerns. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
