In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the applicant Albaugh Europe Sàrl submitted a request to the competent national authority in Slovenia to modify the existing maximum residue level (MRL) for the active substance acetamiprid in honey. The data submitted in support of the request were found to be sufficient to derive a new MRL proposal for honey. Adequate analytical methods for enforcement are available to control the residues of acetamiprid in honey at the validated limit of quantification (LOQs) of 0.01 and 0.05 mg/kg. Based on the risk assessment results, EFSA concluded that the short‐term and long‐term intake of acetamiprid residues in honey from existing critical agricultural practices on melliferous crops is unlikely to present a risk to consumer health.
