In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the evaluating Member State (EMS) Germany received an application from ADAMA Deutschland GmbH to modify the existing maximum residue levels (MRLs) for the active substance beta‐cyfluthrin in barley, oat, rye and wheat. 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 MRL proposals of 0.3 mg/kg for barely and oat and 0.04 mg/kg for rye and wheat. Adequate analytical enforcement methods are available to control the residues of beta‐cyfluthrin in cereals. Based on the risk assessment results, EFSA concludes that the proposed uses of beta‐cyfluthrin on barley, oat, rye and wheat will not result in a consumer exposure exceeding the toxicological reference values and therefore are unlikely to pose a consumer health risk.
