Abstract
Abstract The applicant BASF SE submitted a request to the competent national authority in Estonia to evaluate the confirmatory data for quinmerac, which had been identified as unavailable in the framework of the MRL review under Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. To address the data gap, new residue trials complaint with an adjusted, less critical Good Agricultural Practice (GAP) in sugar beet tops were submitted. The results from these trials are also relevant for extrapolation to fodder beet tops and were taken into account to revise the livestock dietary burden calculations. The data gap was considered satisfactorily addressed. The information provided allow confirming the tentative MRLs for liver, kidney and edible offal of ruminant and equine commodities at the current levels. The previously performed consumer risk assessment for quinmerac remains valid.
