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 metrafenone.
Metrafenone was included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC on 01 February 2007, which is before the entry into force of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 on 02 September 2008. EFSA is therefore required to provide a reasoned opinion on the review of the existing MRLs for that active substance in compliance with Article 12(2) of the aforementioned regulation.
In order to collect the relevant pesticide residues data, EFSA asked United Kingdom, as the designated rapporteur Member State (RMS), to complete the Pesticide Residues Overview File (PROFile). The requested information was submitted to EFSA on 24 May 2011 and, after having considered several comments made by EFSA, the RMS provided on 12 October 2012 a revised PROFile.
