Setting of an import tolerance for flutolanil in peanuts

In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the applicant Nichino America Inc submitted a request to the competent national authority in the Netherlands to set an import tolerance for the active substance flutolanil in peanuts. The data submitted in support of the request were found to be sufficient to derive maximum residue level (MRL) proposal for peanuts. Adequate analytical methods for enforcement are available to control the residues of flutolanil in plant matrices at the validated limited of quantification (LOQ) of 0.01 mg/kg. Based on the risk assessment results, EFSA concluded that the short‐term and long‐term intake of residues resulting from the use of flutolanil according to the reported agricultural practice is unlikely to present a risk to consumer health.
