| description | Abstract In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the evaluating Member State (EMS), the Netherlands, received an application from BASF SE to modify the existing maximum residue level (MRL) for the active substance kresoxim‐methyl in leeks. In order to accommodate for the intended use of kresoxim‐methyl, the Netherlands proposed to raise the value of existing MRL to 9 mg/kg. The Netherlands drafted an evaluation report in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, which was submitted to the European Commission and forwarded to EFSA. According to EFSA, the data are sufficient to derive a MRL proposal of 10 mg/kg for the proposed use on leeks. An adequate analytical enforcement method is available to control the residues of kresoxim‐methyl on the commodity under consideration. Based on the risk assessment results, EFSA concludes that the proposed use of kresoxim‐methyl on leeks will not result in a consumer exposure exceeding the toxicological reference value and therefore is unlikely to pose a consumer health risk. |
