Modification of the existing maximum residue levels for cycloxydim in various crops

In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the applicant BASF SE submitted a request to the competent national authority in the Netherlands to modify the existing maximum residue levels (MRLs) for the active substance cycloxydim in pome fruits, apricots/peaches, peas (with pods), maize/corn, sugar beet roots and milk (sheep). The data submitted in support of the request were found to be sufficient to derive MRL proposals for pome fruits, peas (with pods), maize/corn and sugar beet roots while for apricots, peaches and sheep milk no changes to the existing MRLs were considered necessary. Adequate analytical methods for enforcement are available to control the residues of cycloxydim according to the current enforcement residue definition in the commodities under consideration. Based on the risk assessment results, EFSA concluded that the short‐term and long‐term intake of residues resulting from the uses of cycloxydim according to the reported agricultural practices is unlikely to present a risk to consumer health.
