(7)As regards fluopicolide, the Authority assessed an application with a view of setting an MRL for onions resulting from EU uses and gave a reasoned opinion on the proposed MRLnote. Although it recommended to keep the Codex maximum residue limit (CXL) that had been set for that crop at the level of 1 mg/kg by Commission Regulation (EU) No 520/2011note, it confirmed that for onions, an MRL at a level of 0,3 mg/kg would have been appropriate if based solely on the Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) in the Union. In accordance with the existing EU guidelines on extrapolation of MRLs, it is appropriate to set that MRL value of 0,3 mg/kg for garlic and shallots.
