(1)For the raw commodities to be analysed, the parts of the products to which MRLs apply shall be analysed for the main product of the group or subgroup as listed in part A of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 unless stated otherwise.
(2)Unprocessed products shall be analysed. In case of frozen products, a processing factor shall be reported, if applicable. If no specific processing factor is available, then a default factor of 1 may be applied.
(3)If no sufficient samples of oat grains are available, the part of the required sample number for oat grains that could not be taken, can be added to the sample number for barley grains, resulting in a reduced sample number for oat grains and a proportionately increased sample number for barley grains.
(4)If no sufficient samples of rye, wheat, oat or barley grains are available, also rye, wheat, oat or barley whole grain flour can be analysed and a processing factor shall be reported. If no specific processing factors are available, a default factor of 1 may be applied.
(5)If no sufficient samples of barley grains are available, the part of the required sample number for barley grains that could not be taken, can be added to the sample number for oat grains, resulting in a reduced sample number for barley grains and a proportionately increased sample number for oat grains.
(6)Where appropriate, also polished rice grain can be analysed. It shall be reported to EFSA whether polished or husked rice was analysed. If polished rice was analysed, a processing factor shall be reported. If no specific processing factors are available, a default factor of 0,5 may be applied.
(7)Fresh (unprocessed) milk shall be analysed, including frozen, pasteurised, heated, sterilised or filtrated milk.
(8)Whole eggs without the shell shall be analysed.
ANNEX II Number of samples referred to in Article 1
(1)The number of samples to be taken for each commodity and analysed for the pesticides listed in Annex I by each Member State is set out in the table in point 5.
(2)In addition to the samples required in accordance with the table in point 5, in 2019 each Member State shall take and analyse 10 samples of foods for infants and young children other than infant formulae, follow-on formulae and processed cereal-based baby food.
In addition to the samples required in accordance with that table, in 2020 each Member State shall take and analyse five samples of infant formulae and five samples of follow-on formulae.
In addition to the samples required in accordance with that table, in 2021 each Member State shall take and analyse 10 samples of processed cereal-based baby food.
(3)In accordance with the table in point 5, samples from commodities originating from organic farming shall, where available, be taken in proportion to the market share of those commodities in each Member State, with a minimum of 1.
(4)Member States using multi-residue methods may use qualitative screening methods on up to 15 % of the samples to be taken and analysed in accordance with the table in point 5. Where a Member State uses qualitative screening methods, it shall analyse the remaining number of samples by quantitative multi-residue methods.
Where the results of qualitative screening are positive, Member States shall use a usual target method to quantify the findings.
(5)Minimum number of samples per Member State per commodity:
