Division 1 Purpose and scope

The present annex is based on Recommendation 2004/787/EC^f1. It takes in particular into account that the currently available methods are qualitative and that it addresses the detection of a non-authorised GMO for which there is no tolerance threshold. Samples intended for the official control for the absence of LL RICE 601 in rice products shall be taken according to the methods described below. The bulk samples thus obtained shall be considered as representative of the lots from which they are taken.
