The context of the peer review was that required by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2229/2004 as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1095/2007 and Commission Regulation (EU) No 114/2010. The conclusions were reached on the basis of the evaluation of the representative uses of Streptomyces K61 as a fungicide on fruiting-, leaf- and brassica vegetables, fresh herbs, ornamentals, cut flowers, seedlings, bulbs, and vegetable, ornamental and herb seeds. The reliable endpoints concluded as being appropriate for use in regulatory risk assessment, derived from the available studies and literature in the dossier peer reviewed, are presented. Missing information identified as being required by the regulatory framework is listed. Concerns are identified.
