Summary

In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the United Kingdom, hereafter referred to as the evaluating Member State (EMS), received an application from BASF plc to modify the existing MRLs for the active substance fenpropimorph in commodities of animal origin as a result of the reported use on wheat, barely, rye and oats, for which an amendment of the existing MRLs was not requested. In order to accommodate for the reported use on these cereals, the United Kingdom proposed to raise the existing MRLs in tissues of swine and ruminant origin and in milk. The United Kingdom 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 on 4 December 2012.

EFSA bases its assessment on the evaluation report, the Draft Assessment Report (DAR) and its addenda prepared under Council Directive 91/414/EEC, the Commission Review Report on fenpropimorph, the conclusion on the peer review of the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance fenpropimorph and the JMPR evaluation reports on fenpropimorph.

The toxicological profile of fenpropimorph was assessed in the framework of the peer review and the data were sufficient to derive an ADI of 0.003 mg/kg bw per day and an ARfD of 0.03 mg/kg bw.
