Abstract

Abstract: In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the applicant ADAMA Agricultural Solutions Ltd submitted a request to the competent national authority in Denmark to set an import tolerance for the active substance tebuconazole in beans with pods. The data submitted in support of the request were found to be sufficient to derive a maximum residue level (MRL) proposal of 3 mg/kg for beans with pods imported from Kenya. Adequate analytical methods for enforcement are available to control the residues of tebuconazole on this commodity. Based on the risk assessment results and assuming no change in the isomeric ratio, EFSA concluded that the short‐term and long‐term intake of residues of tebuconazole resulting from its use according to the reported agricultural practice is unlikely to present a risk to consumer health.
