b

Indicates provisional maximum residue level in accordance with Article 4(1)(f) of Directive 91/414/EEC: unless amended, this level will become definitive with effect from 13 September 2009.

c

In the case of foodstuffs with a fat content of 10 % or less by weight, the residue is related to the total weight of the boned foodstuff. In such cases, the maximum level is one-tenth of the value related to fat content, but must be no less than 0,01 mg/kg.

d

In determining the residues in raw cow's milk and whole cream cow's milk, a fat content of 4 % by weight should be taken as a basis. For raw milk and whole cream milk of another animal origin the residues are expressed on the basis of the fat.

For the other foodstuffs listed in Annex I under heading Nos 0401, 0402, 0405 00, and 0406:

  • with a fat content of less than 2 % by weight, the maximum level is taken as half that set for raw milk and whole cream milk,

  • with a fat content of 2 % or more by weight, the maximum level is expressed in mg/kg of fat.

    In such cases, the maximum level is 25 times that set for raw milk and whole cream milk.

e

For eggs and egg products with a fat content higher than 10 %, the maximum level is expressed in mg/kg fat. In this case, the maximum level is 10 times higher than the maximum level for fresh eggs.

f

Footnotes (1), (2) and (3) do not apply in cases where the lower limit of analytical determination is indicated.
