RESUMO
In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the applicant Syngenta Crop Protection AG submitted a request to the competent national authority in Belgium to set an import tolerance for the active substance metalaxyl-M in oil palms fruits and peppercorn (black, green and white). The data submitted in support of the request were found to be sufficient to derive MRL proposals for oil palms fruits and peppercorn. Adequate analytical methods for enforcement are available to control the residues of metalaxyl-M in the commodities under consideration at the validated limit of quantification (LOQ) of 0.01 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 metalaxyl-M according to the authorised agricultural practices is unlikely to present a risk to consumer health.
RESUMO
The conclusions of EFSA following the peer review of the initial risk assessments carried out by the competent authorities of the rapporteur Member State the Czech Republic and co-rapporteur Member State France for the pesticide active substance fish oil and the considerations as regards the inclusion of the substance in Annex IV of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 are reported. The context of the peer review was that required by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 844/2012, as amended by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 2018/1659. The conclusions were reached on the basis of the evaluation of the representative uses of fish oil as a game repellent on deciduous and coniferous trees in forestry. The reliable end points, appropriate for use in regulatory risk assessment, are presented. Missing information identified as being required by the regulatory framework is listed.
