Some information required by the regulatory framework was missing and a possible chronic/acute risk to consumer was identified. Based on the assessment of the available data, MRL proposals were derived, and a consumer risk assessment was carried out.

The toxicological profile of zeta-cypermethrin was also assessed. To assess the occurrence of cypermethrin, alpha-cypermethrin, zeta-cypermethrin, beta-cypermethrin residues in plants, processed commodities, rotational crops and livestock, EFSA considered the conclusions derived in the framework of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the MRLs established by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (codex maximum residue limits CXLs) for cypermethrin, alpha-cypermethrin and zeta-cypermethrin as well as the European authorisations and import tolerances reported by Member States and the UK (including the supporting residues data) for cypermethrin and zeta-cypermethrin.

According to Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, EFSA has reviewed the maximum residue levels (MRLs) currently established at European level for the group of pesticide active substances cypermethrins.
