According to Article 6 of the Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, Spain received an application from Makhteshim Agan España S.A. to modify the existing MRL for tebuconazole in mandarins. In order to accommodate for a new use of tebuconazole in Spain, it is proposed to raise the existing MRL in mandarins from 0.05 mg/kg (the limit of quantification) to 3 mg/kg. 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 20 July 2009.
