In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation ( EC ) No 396/2005, the applicant Landwirtschaftliches Technologiezentrum Augustenberg submitted a request to the competent national authority in Germany, to modify the existing maximum residue level ( MRL ) for the active substance cycloxydim in strawberries. The data submitted in support of the request were found to be sufficient to derive an MRL proposal for strawberries. Adequate analytical methods for enforcement are available to control the residues of cycloxydim on the commodity under consideration at the validated limit of quantification ( LOQ ) of 0.05 mg/kg. Based on the risk assessment results, EFSA concluded that the short‐term and long‐term intake of residues resulting from the use of cycloxydim according to the reported agricultural practice is unlikely to present a risk to consumer health.
