AB  - In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the applicant 
      Spiess-Urania Chemicals GmbH submitted a request to the competent national 
      authority in Austria to modify the existing maximum residue levels (MRLs) for the 
      active substance copper compounds in the whole group of other small fruits and 
      berries. The data submitted in support of the request were found to be sufficient 
      to derive MRL proposals for the whole subgroup of other small fruits and berries. 
      Adequate analytical methods for enforcement of mineral copper independently from 
      its chemical form are available for matrices under consideration at the validated 
      limit of quantification (LOQ) of 5 mg/kg. Based on indicative risk assessment 
      results, EFSA concluded that the long-term intake of copper residues resulting 
      from the intended and existing uses, natural background levels and monitoring 
      levels might present a risk to consumer health. Although residues in other small 
      fruits and berries are minor contributors to the overall consumer exposure, a 
      risk management decision has to be taken on whether it is appropriate to increase 
      the existing MRLs for these crops, given that a potential consumer intake concern 
      could not be excluded.
