Reasoned opinion on the setting of new MRLs for penthiopyrad in various crops

In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, The United Kingdom, herewith referred to as the rapporteur Member State (RMS), received an application from the company LKC UK Ltd. to set MRLs for penthiopyrad in a wide range of plant commodities in order to accommodate intended European uses and uses authorized in the United States and Canada. Resulting from the use of penthiopyrad on plants, a need to set MRLs in animal commodities was also identified by the RMS. The RMS drafted an evaluation report according to Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, which was submitted to the European Commission and forwarded to EFSA.
