The conclusions of the EFSA following the peer review of the initial risk assessments carried out by the competent authorities of the rapporteur Member State, Denmark, and co‐rapporteur Member State, the Netherlands, for the pesticide active substance Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki strain ABTS ‐351 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 uses of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki strain ABTS ‐351 as an insecticide on cabbage (field use) and tomato (permanent greenhouse and walk‐in tunnel uses). 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.
