Peer review of the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance cinmethylin

The conclusions of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) following the peer review of the initial risk assessments carried out by the competent authority of the rapporteur Member State, the Netherlands and the co‐rapporteur Member State, France, for the pesticide active substance cinmethylin, as well as the assessment of applications for maximum residue levels (MRLs), are reported. The context of the peer review was that required by Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council. The conclusions were reached on the basis of the evaluation of the representative uses of cinmethylin as a herbicide on winter wheat and winter oilseed rape. MRLs were assessed in barley, oat, rye, oilseeds (except peanuts), and honey and other apiculture products. The reliable endpoints, appropriate for use in regulatory risk assessment and the proposed MRLs, are presented. Missing information identified as being required by the regulatory framework is listed. Concerns are identified.
