According to Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, EFSA has reviewed the maximum residue levels (MRLs) currently established at European level for the pesticide active substance copper compounds. To assess the occurrence of copper compounds residues in plants, processed commodities, rotational crops and livestock, EFSA considered the conclusions derived in the framework of Directive 91/414/EEC and under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 as well as the European authorisations reported by Member States (including the supporting residues data). Considering the fact that copper is an element also naturally present in the environment, any data regarding the inherent content of copper in plant and livestock were also considered. Based on the assessment of the available data, MRL proposals were derived and a consumer risk assessment was carried out. Some information required by the regulatory framework was missing and a possible chronic risk to consumers was identified. Hence, the consumer risk assessment is considered indicative only and some MRL proposals derived by EFSA still require further consideration by risk managers. Measures for reduction of the consumer exposure may also be considered.
根据（EC）No 396/2005号法规第12条，欧洲食品安全局（EFSA）审查了目前在欧洲层面为农药活性物质铜化合物设定的最大残留限量（MRLs）。为评估铜化合物在植物、加工产品、轮作作物和牲畜中的残留情况，EFSA考虑了在91/414/EEC号指令框架内以及根据（EC）No 1107/2009号法规得出的结论，以及成员国报告的欧洲授权（包括支持性残留数据）。考虑到铜也是环境中天然存在的元素，还考虑了有关植物和牲畜中铜固有含量的任何数据。基于对现有数据的评估，得出了最大残留限量提案并进行了消费者风险评估。监管框架要求的一些信息缺失，并且确定了对消费者可能存在的慢性风险。因此，消费者风险评估仅被视为指示性的，EFSA得出的一些最大残留限量提案仍需要风险管理者进一步考虑。也可考虑降低消费者接触量的措施。
