Commission Directive 2005/87/ECShow full title

Commission Directive 2005/87/EC of 5 December 2005 amending Annex I to Directive 2002/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on undesirable substances in animal feed as regards lead, fluorine and cadmium (Text with EEA relevance)

ANNEXU.K.

Annex I to Directive 2002/32/EC is amended as follows:

1.

Row 2, lead, is replaced by the following:

a

Maximum levels refer to an analytical determination of lead, whereby extraction is performed in nitric acid (5 % w/w) for 30 minutes at boiling temperature. Equivalent extraction procedures can be applied for which it can be demonstrated that the used extraction procedure has an equal extraction efficiency.

b

Green fodder includes products intended for animal feed such as hay, silage, fresh grass, etc.

c

The levels shall be reviewed by 31 December 2007 with the aim of reducing the maximum levels.’

Undesirable substancesProducts intended for animal feedMaximum content in mg/kg (ppm) relative to a feedingstuff with a moisture content of 12 %

Row 3, Fluorine, is replaced by the following:

a

Maximum levels refer to an analytical determination of fluorine, whereby extraction is performed with hydrochloric acid 1 N for 20 minutes at ambient temperature. Equivalent extraction procedures can be applied for which it can be demonstrated that the used extraction procedure has an equal extraction efficiency.

b

The levels shall be reviewed by 31 December 2007 with the aim of reducing the maximum levels.’

Row 6, cadmium, is replaced by the following:

a

Maximum levels refer to an analytical determination of cadmium, whereby extraction is performed in nitric acid (5 % w/w) for 30 minutes at boiling temperature. Equivalent extraction procedures can be applied for which it can be demonstrated that the used extraction procedure has an equal extraction efficiency.
