The conclusions of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) following the peer review of the initial risk assessment carried out by the competent authority of the rapporteur Member State the Netherlands for the pesticide active substance pyriproxyfen are reported.
Based on the submitted confirmatory data, a low risk to aquatic organisms including insects was indicated for both pyriproxifen and the pertinent metabolite DPH-PYR for all the representative uses. The risk to pollinators from the insect growth regulator mode of action needs to be addressed further for greenhouse uses on tomato and aubergine in Southern Europe, as the submitted field study was not considered appropriate for the risk assessment for bees.
