Target description
The level of pollutants in edible tissues (muscle, liver, hom, meat or other soft parts, as appropriate) of fishery products (including fish, crustaceans, molluscs, echinoderms, seaweeds and other marine plants) caught or harvested in nature (excluding fish from mariculture) is not higher than for the pollutants listed in Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006, the maximum levels laid down in that Regulation, which constitute the threshold values for the application of this Decision.
The level of pollutants in edible tissues (muscle, liver, hom, meat or other soft parts, as appropriate) of fishery products (including fish, crustaceans, molluscs, echinoderms, seaweeds and other marine plants) caught or harvested in nature (excluding fish from mariculture) is not higher than for the additional pollutants, which are not included in Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006, threshold values that Member States establish through regional or subregional cooperation.
All measured contaminants in fish and shellfish for human consumption have concentrations below regulatory levels (Commission Regulation 1881/2006 and Directive 2006/113/EC).
