The conclusions of EFSA following the peer review of the initial risk assessments carried out by the competent authorities of the rapporteur Member State Sweden and co‐rapporteur Member State Spain for the pesticide active substance Bacillus thuringiensis ssp. israelensis (serotype H‐14) strain AM 65‐52 and the considerations as regards the inclusion of the substance in Annex IV of Regulation ( EC ) No 396/2005 are reported. The context of the peer review was that required by Commission Implementing Regulation ( EU ) No 844/2012, as amended by Commission Implementing Regulation ( EU ) No 2018/1659. The conclusions were reached on the basis of the evaluation of the representative use of Bacillus thuringiensis ssp. israelensis (serotype H‐14) strain AM 65‐52 as an insecticide on ornamental plants (permanent greenhouse production). The reliable end points, appropriate for use in regulatory risk assessment, are presented. Missing information identified as being required by the regulatory framework is listed. Concerns are identified.
