On October 8, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) published reasoned opinion on the review of the existing maximum residue levels (MRLs) for benalaxyl according to Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.
According to Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has reviewed the Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs) currently established at European level for the pesticide active substance benalaxyl. In order to assess the occurrence of benalaxyl residues in plants, processed commodities, rotational crops and livestock, EFSA considered the conclusions derived in the framework of Directive 91/414/EEC, the MRLs established by the Codex Alimentarius Commission as well as the European authorisations reported by Member States (incl. the supporting residues data).
