The Draft provides that the approval of the active substance beta-cyfluthrin is not renewed and, therefore, existing authorized plant protection products containing this substance will be withdrawn from the market. This decision does not affect the Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs) for residues of the concerned pesticide. However, following the non-approval, separate actions may be taken on the MRLs.
 
The deadline for comments is April 20, 2020.
 
Currently, the MRLs for beta-cyfluthrin in tree nuts, cranberries, dates, figs and peanuts is 0.02* ppm, in apricots and grapes is 0.3 ppm, and in plums is 0.2 ppm.
 
*Indicates lower limit of determination.
