MRLs for chlorantraniliprole in several root and tuber vegetables and oilseeds

In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the United Kingdom, hereafter referred to as the evaluating Member State (EMS), received an application from DuPont (UK) Ltd to modify the existing MRLs in several root and tuber vegetables and to set import tolerances in several oilseeds for the active substance chlorantraniliprole. In order to accommodate for the intended uses of chlorantraniliprole, the United Kingdom proposed to raise the existing MRLs in carrots, beetroot, celeriac, horseradish, Jerusalem artichokes, parsnips, parsley root, salsify, swedes, turnips and other root and tuber vegetables, except sugar beet and radish, from the values of 0.02 mg/kg or 0.04 mg/kg (depending on the crop) to 0.06 mg/kg and in oilseeds, except peanuts, soya bean and cotton seed, from the limit of quantification of 0.01 mg/kg to 2 mg/kg.
