# Commission Directive 2005/87/EC of 5 December 2005 amending Annex I to Directive 2002/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on undesirable substances in animal feed as regards lead, fluorine and cadmium (Text with EEA relevance), Annex

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

Annex I to Directive 2002/32/EC is amended as follows:
1.. Row 2, lead, is replaced by the following:
Maximum levels refer to an analytical determination of lead, whereby extraction is performed in nitric acid (5 % w/w) for 30 minutes at boiling temperature. Equivalent extraction procedures can be applied for which it can be demonstrated that the used extraction procedure has an equal extraction efficiency.
Green fodder includes products intended for animal feed such as hay, silage, fresh grass, etc.
The levels shall be reviewed by 31 December 2007 with the aim of reducing the maximum levels.’
