AB  - In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the applicant BASF 
      Agro B.V. Arnhem (NL) Freienbach Branch submitted a request to the competent 
      national authority in the Netherlands to modify the existing maximum residue 
      levels (MRLs) for the active substance potassium phosphonates in leeks and spring 
      onions/green onions/Welsh onions. The data submitted in support of the request 
      were found to be sufficient to derive MRL proposals for the commodities under 
      assessment. Adequate analytical methods for enforcement are available to control 
      the residues of potassium phosphonates in accordance with the proposed residue 
      definition 'phosphonic acid and its salts expressed as phosphonic acid' on the 
      commodities under consideration. Based on the risk assessment results and 
      assuming that the exiting MRLs will be amended as proposed by EFSA in previous 
      outputs, EFSA concluded that the long-term intake of residues resulting from the 
      use of potassium phosphonates according to the reported agricultural practices is 
      unlikely to present a risk to consumer health. Considering the toxicological 
      profile of the active substance, a short-term dietary risk assessment was not 
      required. The risk assessment shall be regarded as indicative because some MRL 
      proposals derived by EFSA in the framework of the MRL review according to 
      Articles 12 and 43 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 require further consideration 
      by risk managers.
