Article 5 – paragraph 1 a (new)
Article 5 – paragraph 1 a (new)
Member States may decide to allow on their national markets fertilising products which have different maximum limit values to those set out for CE-marked fertilising products in Annex I of this Regulation. National standards can continue to be applied for non- harmonised fertilisers currently subject to national rules.

Article 6 – paragraph 7
7. Manufacturers shall ensure that CE marked fertilising products are labelled in accordance with Annex III, or w. Where the fertilising product is supplied without packaging, that the labelling statements are provided in a documenin a package the information shall appear on a label, which is affixed to the package. However, where it is not practical for the label to contain all the information, the remaining information shall be provided online at a web address provided on the packaging, or in a separate leaflet accompanying the package. Such a webpage or leaflet shall be regarded as part of the label. Where the fertilising product is supplied without packaging, that all the information required under Annex III shall be provided in such a leaflet accompanying the fertilising product and accessible for inspection purposes when the product is placed on the market. The labelling statementinformation shall be in a language which can be easily understood by end-users, as determined by the Member State concerned, and shall be clear, understandable and intelligible.

2. As of [Publications office, please insert the date occurring three years after the date of application of this Regulation], the following criterion shall be complied with: The polymer shall be capable of undergoing physical, biological decomposition, such that most of it ultimately decomposes into carbon dioxide (CO2), biomass and water.

(a) the declared nutrients nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) or potassium (K), by their chemical symbols in the order N-P-K; the declared nitrogen content is given by the sum of ammoniacal N, nitric N, ureic N, N from urea formaldehyde, N from isobutylidene diurea, N from crotonylidene diurea and N from cyanamide. Phosphorus fertilisers must fulfil the following minimum solubility levels to be plant-available, otherwise they cannot be declared as phosphorus fertilisers: – water solubility: minimum level 25% of total P, – solubility in neutral ammonium citrate: minimum level 30% of total P, – solubility in formic acid (only for soft rock phosphate): minimum level 35% of total P.
