食品伙伴网讯 据欧盟食品安全局（EFSA）消息，应欧盟委员会的要求，7月30日欧盟食品安全局公布了甲硫威（methiocarb）的农药风险评估同行评审结论。

    经过相关评估，欧盟专家组认为，甲硫威对于食谷鸟类、食虫鸟类以及猛禽的风险较高。

    Methiocarb was included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC on 1 October 2007 by Commission Directive 2007/5/EC, and has been deemed to be approved under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, in accordance with Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011, as amended by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 541/2011. It was a specific provision of the approval that the notifier was required to submit to the European Commission further studies to confirm the risk assessment for birds, mammals and non-target arthropods, as well as further studies to confirm the toxicological assessment of metabolites potentially present in crops, within two years from the approval.

    In accordance with the specific provision, the notifier, Bayer CropScience, submitted an updated dossier in September 2009, which was evaluated by the designated RMS, the United Kingdom, in the form of an Addendum to the Draft Assessment Report. In compliance with Guidance Document SANCO 5634/2009 rev.3, the RMS distributed the Addendum to Member States and the EFSA for comment on 5 April 2011. The RMS collated all comments in the format of a Reporting Table, which was submitted to the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health (SCFCAH) in June 2011.

    Following consideration of the comments received, and the further discussions in the SCFCAH, the Commission requested the EFSA to organise a peer review of the RMS's evaluation of the confirmatory data on the risk assessment for birds and to deliver its conclusions.

    The experts at the Pesticides Peer Review Experts' Meeting on ecotoxicology (PPR 91) in April 2012 concluded that a high risk is identified for granivorous birds, earthworm-eating birds and predatory birds on the basis of the refined risk assessments
