A total of 376 contributions from 48 different sources were received by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) as a response to an open call for data regarding the risk to bees from the neonicotinoid pesticide active substances clothianidin, thiamethoxam and imidacloprid applied as seed treatments and granules in the EU.
The European Commission has requested the EFSA to organise an open call for data in order to collect new scientific information. EFSA launched the open call on May 25, 2015 and ended on September 30, 2015. The data submissions were mainly from governmental bodies, non-governmental organisations, producer associations, private companies, universities, research institutions, and few individuals.
As a second step, upon receipt of a follow up mandate from the European Commission, EFSA will undertake a review of the data resulted from the open call and will provide conclusions concerning an updated risk assessment for bees.
