In addition, Dow AgroSciences, on behalf of a consortium of manufacturers, also submitted the change request. The existing EU MRLs for chlorpyrifos on the various crops under consideration are set at a range of values from the LOQ of 0.05 mg/kg to 3 mg/kg.
Request for fungicide, cyprodinil was from the Horticultural Development Company to raise the existing MRLs to 15mg/kg in fresh herbs, spinach and beet leaves, lettuce, lamb`s lettuce, cress, scarole, rocket/rucola and leaves and sprouts of Brassica spp. The existing EU MRLs are set at 10 mg/kg in all crops under consideration except in spinach for which a MRL of 8 mg/kg is set.
