Those MRLs will be reviewed taking into account the information available within two years from the publication of this Regulation. As regards bulb vegetables — others, the MRL should be set at a different level than identified by the Authority, given that there is no risk for consumers and based on additional information on the good agricultural practices provided by Germany.
