Introduction
In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, Italy, herewith referred to as the evaluating Member State (EMS), received an application from the company BASF Italia Srl. to modify the existing MRLs for dithiocarbamate in cucurbits (edible and inedible peel), onions, shallots, garlic and asparagus, resulting from the use of metiram. In order to accommodate the intended uses, the EMS Italy proposed to raise the existing MRL in garlic from 0.5 mg/kg to 1 mg/kg; for the other crops they considered there was no need to modify the existing EU MRLs. Italy 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. According to EFSA the data were sufficient to derive MRL proposals of 0.6 mg/kg in garlic and 1.5 mg/kg in cucurbits (with inedible peel).
