ANNEX In Chapter I of Section II of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 2074/2005, point 1 is replaced by the following: β1. Unprocessed fishery products shall be regarded as unfit for human consumption where organoleptic assessment has raised doubts as to their freshness and chemical checks reveal that the following TVB-N limits are exceeded: (a) 25 mg of nitrogen/100 g of flesh for the species referred to in point 1 of Chapter II; (b) 30 mg of nitrogen/100 g of flesh for the species referred to in point 2 of Chapter II; (c) 35 mg of nitrogen/100 g of flesh for the species referred to in point 3 of Chapter II; (d) 60 mg of nitrogen/100 g of whole fishery products used directly for the preparation of fish oil for human consumption as referred to in the second sub-paragraph of Part B(1) of Chapter IV of Section VIII of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004; however, where the raw material complies with points (a), (b) and (c) of Part B(1) of that Chapter, Member States may set limits at a higher level for certain species pending the establishment of specific Community legislation.
