Abstract

In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the applicant Corteva Agriscience International Sàrl submitted a request to the competent national authority in the Netherlands to modify the existing maximum residue levels (MRLs) in certain animal commodities (fat and liver) and honey. The data submitted in support of the request were found to be sufficient to derive an MRL proposal for honey. Adequate analytical methods for enforcement are available to control the residues according to the residue definition for enforcement proposed as 'picloram, free and conjugated, expressed as picloram' in honey at the validated limit of quantification (LOQ) of 0.01 mg/kg. For the commodities of animal origin, although the submitted data were found to be sufficient, EFSA concluded that no change of the existing MRLs was necessary. Based on the risk assessment results, EFSA concluded that the short‐term and long‐term intake of residues expected in honey, resulting from the existing uses of picloram on melliferous crops, is unlikely to present a risk to consumer health.
