- Abstract
In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the applicant Bayer CropScience submitted a request to the competent national authority in Spain to modify the existing maximum residue level (MRL) for the active substance ethephon in kaki/Japanese persimmons. The data submitted in support of the request are sufficient to derive a MRL proposal for the crop under consideration. An adequate analytical method for enforcement is available to control the residues of ethephon in kaki/Japanese persimmon fruits. Based on the risk assessment results, EFSA concluded that the short-term and long-term intake of residues resulting from the use of ethephon according to the reported agricultural practice is unlikely to present a risk to consumer health.
