Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries & Food. 0 4 [185] EXPLANATORY NOTE (This note is not part of the Instrument and does not purport to be a legal interpretation) These Regulations transpose Commission Directive 2008/76/EC which approves the increase of the maximum allowable levels of fluorine in fish feed, recom mends the deletion of Lolium temulentum and Lolium remotum, applies changes in the acceptable levels of weed seeds and unground and uncrushed fruits con taining alkaloids, glucosides and other toxic substances, includes the name DDD in Annex I as that name is more commonly used for the metabolite dichlorodi phenyl-dichloroethane than TDE, and applies the general maximum levels for hydrocyanic acid and to delete the specific requirement for apricot and bitter almond. These Regulations also transpose Commission Directive 2009/8/EC amending the maximum levels of unavoidable carry-over of coccidiostats or histomonos tats (which are substances intended to kill or inhibit protozoa) in non-target feed.
