New GB MRLs for potassium phosphonates amending the GB MRL Statutory Register

The United Kingdom would like to advise Members of an error in notification G/SPS/N/GBR/119, ‘New GB MRLs for potassium phosphonates amending the GB MRL Statutory Register’.This corrigendum amends an error in the original notification. Section 6 (Description of content) incorrectly referred to a different active substance (ametoctradin). The correct text for Section 6 is provided below. Correct Section 6 (Description of content): “Potassium phosphonates is an approved active substance in Great Britain (GB). An application was received by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) to set a new Maximum Residue Level (MRL) for honey. Following assessment, a new MRL for potassium phosphonates in honey has been introduced, raising it from 0.5* mg/kg to 150 mg/kg, to accommodate a new authorisation of a plant protection product in Great Britain. The Evaluation Report/Reasoned Opinion supporting the new MRL is available at the following link: The evaluation of a new MRL for potassium phosphonates in honeyThese MRLs are set based on the sum of fosetyl, phosphonic acid and their salts, expressed as fosetyl. The residue levels arising in food from the notified uses result in consumer exposures below the toxicological reference values. As the residue levels exceed the current MRL in force, a new MRL is being adopted. There is no CXL for honey.” The final date for adoption and publication on this notification remains unchanged.
