Scientific evidence is not conclusive to demonstrate that nicotine occurs naturally in the concerned crop and to elucidate its mechanism of formation. When reviewing the MRL, the Commission will take into account the information, if it is submitted by 22 February 2030, or, if that information is not submitted by that date, the lack of it.
