Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

Annex I to Directive 2002/32/EC is amended as follows:

  1. 1..

    Row 1, Arsenic, is replaced by the following:

    The maximum levels refer to total arsenic.

    Maximum levels refer to an analytical determination of arsenic, 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.

    Upon request of the competent authorities, the responsible operator must perform an analysis to demonstrate that the content of inorganic arsenic is lower than 2 ppm. This analysis is of particular importance for the seaweed species Hizikia fusiforme.’
