Summary
According to Article 6 of the Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, Spain, hereafter referred to as the evaluating Member State (EMS), received an application from the company Gowan Comércio Internacional e Serviços to modify the existing MRLs for the active substance phosmet in potatoes, apricots, peaches, table olives, olives for oil production and rape seed. In order to accommodate for the intended uses of phosmet on these crops in various northern and southern Member States, the EMS proposed to raise the existing MRL in peaches, apricots and olives for oil production and to lower the existing MRL in table olives, rape seed and potatoes. The EMS Spain 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 11 July 2011.
