By 31 March each year, Finland and Sweden shall communicate to the Commission the results of their monitoring of the levels of dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs in fish from the Baltic region obtained in the preceding year and shall report on the measures taken to reduce human exposure to dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs from fish from the Baltic region.

With regard to dioxins and the sum of dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs in products as referred to in section 5 of Annex I, it shall be prohibited:
to mix products complying with the maximum levels with products exceeding those maximum levels;
