ALINORM 07/30/24 Page 11(dry); lupin (dry); potato and walnuts for adoption at Step 5/8.94. The Committee decided to recommend revocation of the CXLs for apricot; nectarine; peach andplums (including prunes), which had been replaced by the MRL for stone fruits, and the CXLs for pear andstrawberry as recommended by the 2002 JMPR.ALDICARB (117)95. The JMPR Secretariat informed the Committee that the 2006 JMPR had concluded that there wereinadequate data to propose lower MRLs (based on alternative GAPs) that would resolve the acute intakeconcerns for potato and banana.96. The Committee decided to recommend withdrawal the draft MRLs for banana and potato and torevoke the existing CXL for potato.CYPERMETHRINS (INCLUDING ALPHA- AND ZETA CYPERMETHRIN) (118)97. The Delegation of the EC expressed the opinion that the chronic risk of the compound might beoverestimated as the toxicological evaluation was based on the most toxic isomer, alpha-cypermethrin, whileresidues in crops, arising from its use were cypermethrin, which was less toxic and requested the JMPR todevelop toxicity equivalence factors for the different isomers. The JMPR Secretariat indicated that it wouldrequire data for all isomers in order to develop these potency factors. The Committee noted that threemanufacturers would submit residue data to JMPR for consideration by the 2008 JMPR.OXAMYL (126)98. The Delegation of Ireland informed the Committee that a “concern form” would be submitted tothe JMPR with the differing assessment of toxicology data leading to a lower ARfD within the EC.99. The Committee decided to retain the draft MRLs for citrus fruits; cucumber; melons, exceptwatermelon and peppers at Step 7 awaiting the JMPR review (alternative GAP) in 2008. The Committee alsodecided to consider revocation of the CXLs for apple and tomato at the next session as no data seemed to beavailable for those commodities.METALAXYL (138)100. The Committee noted that this compound was no longer supported and agreed to considerrevocation of all CXLs at its next session.101. The Delegation of Australia indicated that at the 37 th Session of CCPR it was decided torecommend revocation of CXLs after two years and that at that time the metalaxyl-M MRLs at Step 6 wouldbe advanced for adoption at Step 8.102. The Committee agreed to request information from Codex members and observers regardingsupport for metalaxyl-M before the CCPR 40.PROCHLORAZ (142)103. The Committee was informed that the manufacturer would provide alternative GAP informationand corresponding trial data by February 2008 to be reviewed by the 2009 JMPR.104. The Committee decided to retain the draft MRL for mushrooms at Step 7 due to acute intakeconcerns, awaiting 2009 JMPR evaluation.CARBOSULFAN (145)105. The Committee decided to retain the draft MRLs for mandarin; oranges, sweet, sour, and potato atStep 7 in line with the decisions on these commodities for carbofuran (096).PROPAMOCARB (148)106. The Committee decided to advance all the draft MRLs for adoption at Step 5/8 with the subsequentdeletion of the associated CXLs, noting the EC reservations on the MRLs for lettuce, head and lettucecauliflower and spinach, leaf due to intake concern and the quality of the residue database (number of trials).107. The Committee decided to recommend revocation of the CXLs for beetroot; Brussels sprouts;cabbages, head; celery; cucumber and strawberry as recommended by 2006 JMPR.
