ANNEX I U.K.

a [ F1
b F1 ]
c Member States may also prescribe a maximum cadmium content of 0,5 mg per 1 % phosphorus.
d Member States may also prescribe a maximum cadmium content of 0,75 mg per 1 % phosphorus.
e [F2 Upper-bound concentrations; upper-bound concentrations are calculated assuming that all values of the different congeners less than the limit of quantification are equal to the limit of quantification.
f These maximum limits shall be reviewed for the first time before 31 December 2004 in the light of new data on the presence of dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs, in particular with a view to the inclusion of dioxin-like PCBs in the levels to be set and will be further reviewed before 31 December 2006 with the aim of significantly reducing of the maximum levels.
g Fresh fish directly delivered and used without intermediate processing for the production of feedingstuffs for fur animals is exempted from the maximum limit and a maximum level of 4,0 ng WHO-PCDD/F-TEQ/kg product is applicable to fresh fish used for the direct feeding of pet animals, zoo and circus animals. The products, processed animal proteins produced from these animals (fur animals, pet animals, zoo and circus animals) cannot enter the food chain and the feeding thereof is prohibited to farmed animals which are kept, fattened or bred for the production of food.]
h [F3 The maximum levels refer to total arsenic.
i Upon request of the competent authorities, the responsible operator must perform an analysis to demonstrate that the content of inorganic arsenic is lower than 2 ppm. This analysis is of particular importance for the seaweed species Hizikia fusiforme .]
