  "text": "Annex I to Directive 2002/26/EC is amended as follows:\n(a) points 4.3, 4.4 and 4.5 are replaced by the following:\n‘4.3.\nGeneral survey of the sampling procedure for cereals, dried vine fruit and roasted coffee\nTABLE 1\nSubdivision of lots into sublots depending on product and lot weight\nDepending on the lot weight — see table 2 of this Annex.\nDepending on the lot weight — see table 3 of this Annex.\nCommodity\nLot weight(ton)\nWeight or number of sublots\nNo of incremental samples\nAggregate sample weight(kg)\nCereals and cereal products\n≥ 1 500\n500 tonnes\n100\n10\n> 300 and < 1 500\n3 sublots\n100\n10\n≥ 50 and ≤ 300\n100 tonnes\n100\n10\n< 50\n—\n3-100\n1-10\nDried vine fruit (currants, raisins and sultanas)\n≥ 15\n15-30 tonnes\n100\n10\n< 15\n—\n10-100\n1-10\nRoasted coffee beans, ground roasted coffee and soluble coffee\n≥ 15\n15-30 tonnes\n100\n10\n< 15\n—\n10-100\n1-10\n4.4.\nSampling procedure for cereals and cereal products (lots ≥ 50 tonnes) and for roasted coffee beans, ground roasted coffee, soluble coffee and dried vine fruit (lots ≥ 15 tonnes)\nOn condition that the sublot can be separated physically, each lot must be subdivided into sublots following table 1. Taking into account that the weight of the lot is not always an exact multiple of the weight of the sublots, the weight of the sublot may vary from the mentioned weight by a maximum of 20 %.\nEach sublot must to be sampled separately.\nNumber of incremental samples: 100.\nWeight of the aggregate sample = 10 kg.\nIf it is not possible to carry out the method of sampling described above because of the commercial consequences resulting from damage to the lot (because of packaging forms, means of transport, etc.) an alternative method of sampling may be applied provided that it is as representative as possible and is fully described and documented.\n4.5.\nSampling provisions for cereals and cereal products (lots < 50 tonnes) and for roasted coffee beans, ground roasted coffee, soluble coffee, dried vine fruit (lots < 15 tonnes)\nFor cereal lots under 50 tonnes and for roasted coffee beans, ground roasted coffee, soluble coffee and dried vine fruit lots under 15 tonnes the sampling plan has to be used with 10 to 100 incremental samples, depending on the lot weight, resulting in an aggregate sample of 1 to 10 kg. For very small lots (≤ 0,5 tonnes) of cereals and cereal products a lower number of incremental samples can be taken, but the aggregate sample uniting all incremental samples shall be also in that case at least 1 kg.\nThe figures in the following table can be used to determine the number of incremental samples to be taken.\nTABLE 2\nNumber of incremental samples to be taken depending on the weight of the lot of cereals and cereal products\nLot weight (tonnes)\nNo of incremental samples\n≤ 0,05\n3\n> 0,05-≤ 0,5\n5\n> 0,5-≤ 1\n10\n> 1-≤ 3\n20\n> 3-≤ 10\n40\n> 10-≤ 20\n60\n> 20-≤ 50\n100\nTABLE 3\nNumber of incremental samples to be taken depending on the weight of the lot of roasted coffee beans, ground roasted coffee, soluble coffee and dried vine fruit\nLot weight (tonnes)\nNo of incremental samples\n≤ 0,1\n10\n> 0,1-≤ 0,2\n15\n> 0,2-≤ 0,5\n20\n> 0,5-≤ 1,0\n30\n> 1,0-≤ 2,0\n40\n> 2,0-≤ 5,0\n60\n> 5,0-≤ 10,0\n80\n> 10,0-≤ 15,0\n100\n’\n(b) the following point 4.6(a) is inserted after point 4.6:\n‘4.6(a)\nSampling provisions for wine and grape juice\nThe aggregate sample shall be at least 1 kg except where it is not possible e.g. when the sample consists of 1 bottle.\nThe minimum number of incremental samples to be taken from the lot shall be as given in table 4. The number of incremental samples determined is function of the usual form in which the products concerned are commercialised. In the case of bulk liquid products, the lot shall be thoroughly mixed insofar as possible and insofar as it does not affect the quality of the product, by either manual or mechanical means immediately prior to sampling. In this case, a homogeneous distribution of ochratoxin A can be assumed within a given lot. It is therefore sufficient to take three incremental samples from a lot to form the aggregate sample.\nThe incremental samples, which might frequently be a bottle or a package, shall be of similar weight. The weight of an incremental sample should be at least 100 grams, resulting in an aggregate sample of at least about 1 kg. Departure from this procedure must be recorded in the record provided for in point 3.8.\nTABLE 4\nMinimum number of incremental samples to be taken from the lot\nForm of commercialisation\nWeight of lot (in litres)\nMinimum number of incremental samples to be taken\nBulk (grape juice, wine)\n…\n3\nBottles/packages grape juice\n≤ 50\n3\nBottles/packages grape juice\n50 to 500\n5\nBottles/packages grape juice\n> 500\n10\nBottles/packages wine\n≤ 50\n1\nBottles/packages wine\n50 to 500\n2\nBottles/packages wine\n> 500\n3\n’",
