Abstract

The conclusions of EFSA following the peer review of the initial risk assessments carried out by the competent authorities of the rapporteur Member State, the Netherlands, and co-rapporteur Member State, France, for the pesticide active substance laminarin are reported. The context of the peer review was that required by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 844/2012. The conclusions were reached on the basis of the evaluation of the representative uses of laminarin as elicitor on apple, pear, vine, kiwi, green bean, lettuce, strawberry, tomato, cucurbits, aubergine and pepper. The reliable end points, appropriate for use in regulatory risk assessment, are presented. Missing information identified as being required by the regulatory framework is listed. Concerns are identified.

Keywords: elicitor; laminarin; peer review; pesticide; risk assessment.
