Summary of the evaluation

At its forty-fifth meeting, the Committee recommended temporary MRLs for residues of diclazuril in certain food animals expressed as the parent compound . The MRLs were temporary because the ADI was temporary. No additional residue data were provided to the Committee for consideration at its present meetings. However: the Committee noted that the ADI established at its present meeting was higher than the temporary ADI allocated at the forty-fifth meeting and that the temporary MRLs recommended at the forty-fifth meeting already reflected good practice in the use of this veterinary drug. The Committee therefore decided to delete the temporary qualification and to recommend the same MRLs as at its forty-fifth meeting.
