Abstract In accordance with Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, EFSA has reviewed the maximum residue levels (MRLs) currently established at European level for the pesticide active substance clofentezine. Although this active substance is no longer authorised within the European Union, codex maximum residue limits (CXLs) were established by the Codex Alimentarius Commission and import tolerances were reported by Member States and the UK (including the supporting residues data). Based on the available data, EFSA assessed the CXLs and the import tolerances reported, and a consumer risk assessment was carried out. Although no risk to consumers was identified, all CXLs and import tolerances were found to be supported by inadequate data. Hence, the consumer risk assessment is considered indicative only and further consideration by risk managers is needed.
