The existing MRLs for lambda-cyhalothrin in azarole and persimmon

In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, Spain, herewith referred to as the evaluating Member State Spain, received an application from Syngenta Agro S.A. to raise the existing MRL for lambda-cyhalothrin in persimmon from the LOQ (0.02 mg/kg) to 0.1 mg/kg in support of a new intended SEU use. Belgium (hereafter the EMS Belgium) compiled an application to raise the existing MRL for lambda-cyhalothrin in azarole from the LOQ to 0.2 mg/kg based on a new intended NEU use on kiwi berries (Actinidia arguta).
The EMS Spain and the EMS Belgium drafted evaluation reports according to Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, which were submitted to the European Commission and forwarded to EFSA. According to EFSA, the submitted supervised residue trials are sufficient to derive a MRL proposal of 0.09 mg/kg for persimmon.
