Abstract In accordance with Article 53 of Regulation (EC) 1107/2009, the United Kingdom granted two 120‐day emergency authorisations for the use of plant protection products containing the active substance cyantraniliprole in Chinese cabbages, raspberries and blackberries. The applicants (Agriculture & Horticulture Development Board (AHDB)) and FMC Agro Ltd) requested the setting of temporary maximum residue levels (MRLs) for cyantraniliprole in Chinese cabbages, raspberries and blackberries. The United Kingdom, as evaluating Member State (EMS), summarised the data provided by the applicants in two evaluation reports which were submitted to the European Commission and forwarded to EFSA. Adequate analytical methods for enforcement are available to control the residues of cyantraniliprole on the commodities under consideration at the validated limit of quantification (LOQ) of 0.01 mg/kg. Sufficient residue trials were submitted to calculate MRL proposals for the crops under assessment. Based on the risk assessment results, EFSA concluded that the long‐term intake of residues resulting from the use of parent cyantraniliprole in crops under assessment according to the reported emergency agricultural practice is unlikely to present a risk to consumer health. Due to data gaps related to the toxicological profile of degradation products generated during processing, the risk assessment for processed products could not be finalised.
