In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation ( EC ) No 396/2005, the applicant Adama Agriculture B.V on behalf of Adama Makhteshim Ltd submitted a request to the competent national authority in France to modify the existing maximum residue levels ( MRL ) for the active substance folpet in barley, oat, rye and wheat. The data submitted in support of the request were found to be sufficient to derive MRL proposals for these commodities. Adequate analytical methods for enforcement are available to control the residues of folpet and phthalimide in dry commodities at the validated limit of quantification ( LOQ ) of 0.01 mg/kg per analyte. Based on the risk assessment results, EFSA concluded that the short‐term and long‐term intake of residues resulting from the use of folpet according to the reported agricultural practices is unlikely to present a risk to consumer health.
