In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation ( EC ) No 396/2005, the applicant Bayer CropScience SAS submitted a request to the competent national authority in Italy to modify the existing maximum residue levels ( MRL ) for the active substance fenhexamid in plums, blueberries, cranberries, currants, gooseberries and beans with pods. The data submitted in support of the request were found to be sufficient to derive MRL proposals for all crops under consideration. Adequate analytical methods for enforcement are available to control the residues of fenhexamid in plant matrices. Based on the risk assessment results, EFSA concluded that the short‐term and long‐term intake of residues resulting from the use of fenhexamid according to the reported agricultural practices is unlikely to present a risk to consumer health.
