Peer review of the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance dimethenamid-P.

Abstract

The conclusions of EFSA following the peer review of the initial risk assessments carried out by the competent authorities of the rapporteur Member State Germany and co‐rapporteur Member State Bulgaria for the pesticide active substance dimethenamid‐P and the assessment of applications for maximum residue levels (MRLs) are reported. The context of the peer review was that required by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 844/2012. The conclusions were reached on the basis of the evaluation of the representative uses of dimethenamid‐P as a herbicide on annual monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous weeds in winter oilseed rape, maize, sweet corn, soya bean, sunflower and sugar beet. The reliable end points, 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.
