| description | In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, Italy, hereafter referred to as the evaluating Member State (EMS), received an application from Oxon Italia S.p.A. to modify the existing MRLs for the active substance tebuconazole in cucumbers and courgettes. In order to accommodate for the intended uses of tebuconazole, Italy proposed to raise the MRL from 0.2 mg/kg to 0.5 mg/kg. Italy 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 an MRL proposal of 0.6 mg/kg for the proposed uses on cucumbers and courgettes. Adequate analytical enforcement methods are available to control the residues of tebuconazole in the plant matrices under consideration. Based on the risk assessment results, EFSA concludes that the proposed use of tebuconazole on cucumbers and courgettes will not result in a consumer exposure exceeding the toxicological reference values. |
