MODIFIED +5 −7 Annex I ANNEX I

applies from: unchanged

In the table of minimum macronutrient content for a straight solid inorganic macronutrient fertiliser containing only one declared macronutrient, the minimum calcium oxide (CaO) content value under point (e) was changed from 12% by mass to 9% by mass.

The remaining visible text of Annex I, including the other PFC definitions and limit values, appears unchanged between the two versions, and the shown text is truncated before the end of PFC 6(B), so any further differences beyond that point cannot be described.

MODIFIED +12 −11 Annex II ANNEX II

applies from: unchanged

Sources disagree — the text comparison found this change; the EU's own amendment metadata does not list it and the amending act's instructions do not mention it. All are shown; none is overruled.

Both the before and after texts of Annex II are cut off before the point where CMC 12, point 6 concludes, so the visible portions of CMC 1 through the start of CMC 12 appear identical in structure and wording.

Because the passage identified as containing the difference, Annex II(g), falls within the truncated portion of both supplied texts, no textual difference in that sub-provision can be observed from what was provided.

A new point (ba) was inserted into section 3.1 of Part I, adding micro-organisms as specified in CMC 7 in Part II of Annex II to the list of component materials for which Module B followed by Module C may be used.

This point did not appear in the earlier version of that list, which moved directly from plants, plant parts or plant extracts (point (b)) to polymers other than nutrient polymers (point (c)).
