Background
Competent authority
The risk assessment associated with amending the MRLs for Great Britain has been conducted by the Chemicals Regulation Division (CRD) of the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Application
Fluxapyroxad is an approved active substance in Great Britain.
In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005,1 HSE received an application from BASF SE to set import tolerances for the active substance fluxapyroxad in or on various root crops, to accommodate authorisations in the USA, and coffee beans, to accommodate an authorisation in Brazil.
HSE as the competent authority drew up an Evaluation Report (ER) that included the risk to consumers associated with amending the MRLs. The ER was submitted to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and a Reasoned Opinion (RO) was delivered prior to the 1st January 2021.
