Modification of the existing maximum residue level for fosetyl in blackberry, celeriac and Florence fennel

In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the evaluating Member State (EMS), Germany, received applications from Landwirtschaftliches Technologiezentrum Augustenberg and Landwirtschaftskammer NRW – Pflanzenschutzdienst to modify existing MRLs for the active substance fosetyl-Al in blackberry, celeriac and Florence fennel. Germany drafted evaluation reports in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, which were submitted to the European Commission and forwarded to EFSA. According to EFSA data are sufficient to derive MRL proposals of 100 mg/kg for fosetyl in blackberries and of 8 mg/kg in celeriac. No change is recommended for fennel, since the supported use results in a lower MRL proposal than the MRL of 2 mg/kg currently into force under Regulation (EU) 991/2014. Based on the risk assessment results, EFSA concludes that the proposed use of fosetyl on blackberries, celeriac and Florence fennel will not result in a consumer exposure exceeding the toxicological reference value and therefore is unlikely to pose a consumer health risk.
