Summary

According to Article 6 of the Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, Belgium compiled an application to modify the existing MRLs for the active substance fenhexamid in lettuce and other salad plants. In order to accommodate for the intended use of fenhexamid, it is proposed to raise the existing MRLs in lettuce and other salad plants from 30 to 40 mg/kg. Belgium drafted an evaluation report according to Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 which was submitted to the European Commission and forwarded to EFSA on 3 September 2009.
