In accordance with Article 31 of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002, the European Commission mandated EFSA to issue a statement concerning confirmatory data that were not submitted by the set deadline by the applicant following Article 12 MRL reviews under Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 for the active substances dicloran, fenazaquin and tebufenozide. EFSA assessed the availability and completeness of the confirmatory information and prepared a statement providing a conclusion on whether the existing tentative maximum residue levels (MRLs) are supported by data. The statement also included indications to risk managers whether the tentative MRLs currently established by Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 could be maintained. Before finalisation, the statement was circulated to Member States for consultation via a written procedure.
European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) (Wed,) studied this question.
