Peer review of the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance metyltetraprole

The conclusions of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) following the peer review of the initial risk assessments carried out by the competent authority of the rapporteur Member State France for the pesticide active substance metyltetraprole and the assessment of applications for maximum residue levels (MRLs) are reported. The context of the peer review was that required by Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council. The conclusions were reached on the basis of the evaluation of the representative uses of metyltetraprole as a fungicide on wheat (spring and winter), barley (spring and winter) and cucumber in greenhouse (permanent). MRLs were assessed in gherkins, courgettes, oat and rye. The reliable endpoints, appropriate for use in regulatory risk assessment and the proposed MRLs, are presented. Missing information identified as being required by the regulatory framework is listed. Concerns are identified.
