According to Article 12 of Regulation ( EC ) No 396/2005, EFSA has reviewed the maximum residue levels ( MRL s) currently established at European level for the pesticide active substance quinoxyfen. Although this active substance is no longer authorised within the European Union, MRL s were established by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (codex maximum residue limits; CXL s) and an import tolerance was reported by Member States (including the supporting residues data). Based on the assessment of the available data, EFSA assessed the CXL s and import tolerance requested, and a consumer risk assessment was carried out considering the toxicological reference value established for the first inclusion under Directive 91/414/ EEC . All CXL s and import tolerance were found to be adequately supported by data and no risk to consumers was identified.
