In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the applicant BASF SE submitted a request to the competent national authority in Austria to set an import tolerance for the active substance fipronil in potatoes, maize, rice, sugar canes and to modify the existing EU MRLs (maximum residue levels) for fipronil in commodities of animal origin. During the assessment, the applicant withdrew the import tolerance requests on maize and rice. The data submitted in support of the present assessment were found to be sufficient to derive MRL proposal for sugar canes. For potatoes, data gaps were identified which precluded the derivation of MRL proposal. The livestock exposure to fipronil residues from the intake of sugar canes molasses required the setting of MRL in fat of bovine, sheep and goat. Adequate analytical methods for enforcement are available to control the total residues of fipronil in plant and animal matrices at the validated limit of quantification (LOQ) 0.005 mg/kg. Based on the risk assessment results, EFSA concluded that consumer intake concerns are not associated with fipronil residues in food commodities under consideration: sugar canes and fat of bovine, sheep and goat. There are no EU authorisations of fipronil as well as no Codex maximum residue limits (CXLs) or import tolerances are set for fipronil in the EU MRL legislation; therefore, other plant and animal commodities were not considered in the consumer exposure assessment.
根据欧盟委员会第396/2005号法规第6条，申请人巴斯夫股份公司向奥地利国家主管当局提交申请，请求设定马铃薯、玉米、大米、甘蔗中活性物质氟虫腈的进口 tolerance，并修改动物源性产品中氟虫腈的现有欧盟最大残留限量（MRL）。在评估过程中，申请人撤回了对玉米和大米的进口 tolerance 请求。经认定，为支持本次评估而提交的数据足以得出甘蔗的MRL提议。对于马铃薯，发现存在数据缺口，无法得出MRL提议。牲畜因摄入甘蔗糖蜜而接触氟虫腈残留，因此需要设定牛、羊和山羊脂肪中的MRL。有足够的执法分析方法可用于控制植物和动物基质中氟虫腈的总残留量，验证定量限（LOQ）为0.005 mg/kg。基于风险评估结果，欧洲食品安全局得出结论，所考虑的食品商品（甘蔗以及牛、羊和山羊的脂肪）中的氟虫腈残留不会引发消费者摄入担忧。在欧盟MRL法规中，氟虫腈未获得欧盟批准，也未设定食品法典最大残留限量（CXL）或进口 tolerance；因此，在消费者暴露评估中未考虑其他植物和动物商品。
