Reasoned opinion on the modification of the existing MRLs for dodine in various fruit crops

In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, Portugal, herewith referred to as the evaluating Member State (EMS), received an application from the company Agriphar to lower the existing MRLs for dodine in pome fruits, apricots and cherries (for less critical European uses) and to raise the existing MRL in olives (for the new SEU use) and bananas (for the authorized use in Northern, Central and South America).
The lowering of the MRLs for the crops mentioned is justified as for the existing MRLs for apples, pears, peaches and apricots acute consumer intake concerns cannot be excluded.
According to EFSA, the submitted data are sufficient to derive MRL proposals or tentative MRL proposals for the crops under consideration, except in apricots.
