  "text": "A tiered approach shall be adopted to fulfil the above mentioned objectives. In the first tier, limited field studies at two sites in major growing areas shall be conducted. The plant protection product for which authorisation is sought or a very similar formulation shall be used.\nNo further studies shall be required where, based on the result from the first tier studies, no detectable residues (< 0,01 mg/kg) in rotational crops are to be expected or if in metabolism studies no residues requiring risk assessment are observed.\nFor the second tier, additional data shall be submitted to enable appropriate evaluation of dietary risks and establishment of MRLs. These studies shall cover the common crop rotation practice. They shall be performed taking into account the requirements under point 6.3. Trials shall be conducted as closely as possible to agricultural practice on representative crops from major crop groups. At least four trials per crop shall be conducted across areas relevant to Great Britain in one year. These trials shall be performed in the main production areas relevant to Great Britain at the highest application rate for the preceding crops. If annual applications of persistent active substances result in higher plateau concentrations in soil than a single application, the plateau concentration shall be taken into account. The necessary residue trials data shall be set up in consultation with the competent authorities.",
