The following breakdown must be respected: (reference to Annex I to Directive 96/23/EC):

• Group A: 30 % of the total number of samples,

  70 % must be checked for Group A 6 substances,

  30 % must be checked for substances of other sub-groups of Group A.

• Group B: 70 % of the total number of samples

  30 % must be checked for Group B 1 substances

  30 % must be checked for Group B 2 substances

  10 % must be checked for Group B 3 substances

  The balance must be allocated according to the situation of the F1relevant constituent territory of Great Britain.
