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 levels (MRLs) for the active substance flonicamid in Chinese cabbages, kales and kohlrabies. The data submitted in support of the request were found to be sufficient to derive MRL proposals for the commodities under assessment. Adequate analytical methods for enforcement are available to control the residues of flonicamid, 4‐trifluoromethylnicotinic acid (TFNA) and N‐(4‐trifluoromethylnicotinoyl) glycine (TFNG) (sum expressed as flonicamid) in the commodities under consideration at the validated combined limit of quantification (LOQ) of 0.03 mg/kg and the residues of flonicamid and TFNA‐AM in animal matrices at the validated combined 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 flonicamid according to the reported agricultural practices is unlikely to present a risk to consumer health.
