In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the evaluating Member State (EMS) the Netherlands received an application from Bayer CropScience to modify the existing maximum residue level (MRL) for the active substance trifloxystrobin in celeriacs. The Netherlands drafted an evaluation report in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 which was submitted to the European Commission and forwarded to EFSA. According to EFSA, the intended use on celeriacs assessed in the framework of this MRL application is covered by the use assessed under the Article 12 MRL review, for which however, a change of the existing MRL to 0.03 mg/kg is proposed. Adequate analytical enforcement methods are available to control the residues of trifloxystrobin in celeriacs. EFSA confirms that the proposed MRL for trifloxystrobin on celeriacs will not result in an exceedance of the toxicological reference value and therefore is unlikely to pose a health risk to consumers.
