TI  - Modification of the existing maximum residue levels for sodium 
      5-nitroguaiacolate, sodium o-nitrophenolate and sodium p-nitrophenolate (sodium 
      nitrocompounds) in table olives and olives for oil production.

AB  - In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the applicant Asahi 
      Chemical Europe s.r.o. submitted a request to the competent national authority in 
      Greece to modify the existing maximum residue levels (MRLs) for the active 
      substances sodium 5-nitroguaiacolate (Na 5-NG), sodium o-nitrophenolate (Na o-NP) 
      and sodium p-nitrophenolate (Na p-NP) in table olives and olives for oil 
      production in support of the intended SEU use. The data submitted in support of 
      this MRL application were sufficient to derive an MRL of 0.12 mg/kg (at the 
      combined limit of quantification (LOQ) of the three sodium nitrocompounds as 
      validated in the framework of the residue trials). This higher MRL does not 
      reflect residues in olives from the intended use but refers to occurrence of 
      p-nitrophenolate (p-NP) from unidentified source. As p-NP was present in all 
      untreated olive samples regardless of the country of origin and the year of the 
      treatment, in some cases at levels above the enforcement LOQ of 0.01 mg/kg, the 
      applicant analysed residue trial samples using a method with a higher validated 
      LOQ of 0.1 mg/kg for Na p-NP. The competent authorities shall be aware that 
      residues of p-NP at levels < 0.1 mg/kg in olives are not related to the use of 
      sodium nitrocompounds on the crop but to other sources of unknown origin. The 
      current analytical methods for enforcement control residues of sodium 
      nitrocompounds in high oil content matrices at the validated LOQ of 0.01 mg/kg 
      per substance (combined LOQ of 0.03 mg/kg). Based on the risk assessment results, 
      EFSA concluded that the short-term and long-term intake of residues resulting 
      from the use of sodium nitrocompounds according to the reported agricultural 
      practice and occurrence of p-NP from unidentified source is unlikely to present a 
      risk to consumer health.
