The conclusions of EFSA following the peer review of the initial risk assessments carried out by the competent authorities of the rapporteur Member State, the Netherlands, and co‐rapporteur Member State, France, for the pesticide active substance spinosad and the assessment of applications for maximum residue levels ( MRL s) are reported. The context of the peer review was that required by Commission Implementing Regulation ( EU ) No 844/2012. The conclusions were reached on the basis of the evaluation of the representative uses of spinosad as an insecticide on bulb/dry onions, maize (fodder and grain), sweet corn, grapes (table and wine), lettuce, potato, aubergine, pepper and tomato. MRL s were assessed in field leek and field and glasshouse strawberries, cane fruits, lettuce and plants salad (others), spinach and similar leaves (others), herbs and edible flowers (others), cardoons, rhubarb and animal commodities. The reliable end points, appropriate for use in regulatory risk assessment and the proposed MRL s, are presented. Missing information identified as being required by the regulatory framework is listed. Concerns are identified.
