Modification of the existing maximum residue levels for propyzamide in oilseeds and honey

In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the applicant Corteva submitted a request to the competent national authority in Sweden to modify the existing maximum residue levels (MRLs) for the active substance propyzamide in oilseed rape, mustard seeds, gold of pleasure seeds, linseeds, sesame seeds, hemp seeds, borage seeds and honey. The data submitted in support of the request were found to be sufficient to derive MRL proposals for all the crops under assessment. Adequate…

ABSTRACT

In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the applicant Corteva submitted a request to the competent national authority in Sweden to modify the existing maximum residue levels (MRLs) for the active substance propyzamide in oilseed rape, mustard seeds, gold of pleasure seeds, linseeds, sesame seeds, hemp seeds, borage seeds and honey. The data submitted in support of the request were found to be sufficient to derive MRL proposals for all the crops under assessment. Adequate analytical methods for enforcement are available to control the residues of propyzamide in plant matrices and honey at the validated limit of quantification (LOQ) of 0.01 and 0.05 mg/kg, respectively. Based on the risk assessment results, EFSA concluded that the short-term and long-term intake of residues resulting from the use of propyzamide according to the reported agricultural practices is unlikely to present a risk to consumer health.
