In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, Germany, hereafter referred to as the evaluating Member State (EMS), received an application from Bayer CropScience AG to modify the existing MRLs for the active substance fluopyram in various crops. Germany drafted an evaluation report in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, which was submitted to the European Commission and forwarded to EFSA. According to EFSA the data are sufficient to derive MRLs for most of the proposed uses, except for peaches, apricots, raspberries and chicory roots for which additional residue data are requested. Adequate analytical enforcement methods are available to control the residues of fluopyram in plant commodities. Based on the risk assessment results, EFSA concludes thatthe proposed use of fluopyram on the crops under consideration will not result in a consumer exposure exceeding the toxicological reference values and therefore, is unlikely to pose a consumer health risk
