Evaluation of confirmatory data following the Article 12 MRL review for spinetoram.

The applicant Corteva Agriscience International Sàrl submitted a request to the competent national authority in Croatia to evaluate the confirmatory data that were identified in the framework of the MRL review under Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. The applicant submitted, a confirmatory analytical method for high oil content and dry plant commodities, fat, liver, kidney and an enforcement analytical method for eggs (quantification and confirmation) and its ILV in the current application. Furthermore, residue trials for table and wine grapes, apples, pears and apricots were also provided. The data gaps on the analytical methods were considered as satisfactorily addressed for all relevant matrices except for the extraction efficiency which was not satisfactorily addressed. Since the approval period of spinetoram in the EU expired on 30 June 2024, the data gap on residue trials to support EU uses was not considered relevant anymore and a revision of the previous consumer risk assessment was not required.
