Article 1

1.

The foodstuffs listed in Annex to this Regulation shall not be placed on the market where they contain a contaminant listed in this Annex at a level exceeding the maximum levels set in the Annex.

In case of a finding of a significant residue below the maximum level set out in the Annex, it is appropriate for the competent authority to carry out investigations to confirm that the residue is present as a consequence of unavoidable carry over in the feed and not as the consequence of illegal administration of the coccidiostat or histomonostat.

Foodstuffs complying with the maximum levels set out in the Annex shall not be mixed with foodstuffs which exceed these maximum levels.

2.

When applying the maximum levels set out in the Annex to this Regulation to foodstuffs which are dried, diluted, processed or composed of more than one ingredient, changes of the concentration of the contaminant caused by drying, diluting or processing, as well as the relative proportion of the ingredients in the product, shall be taken into account.

3.

The maximum levels established in Annex to this Regulation are without prejudice to the provisions and the MRLs established by Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 and the MRLs established by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

It shall apply from 1 July 2009.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
