1 TAIEX Study Visit on Determination of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH) and Veterinary Drugs Residues organised in co-operation with Spanish Agency for Consumer Affairs, Food Safety and Nutrition of Ministry of Health, Social Services and Equality Venue : Centro Nacional de Alimentación Carretera Pozuelo-Majadahonda, km 5, Majadahonda Madrid April 2017 Beneficiary : Montenegro AGR IND/STUD 64064

2 Aim of the visit: The aim of the visit is to get practical knowledge on both the implementation of the determination of the 4 PAH covered by the European legislation (Regulation (UE) No 1881/2006) and on the analysis of veterinary drug residues included in groups A1 (stilbens), A3 (steroids), A4 (resorcylic acid lactones) and A5 (beta-agonists) as it is stablished in European legislation (Directive 2008/97/CE amending Council Directive 96/22/EC, Council Directive 96/23/EC, Commission Decision 2002/657/EC). Accordingly the study visit activities are organised in two parts: The aim of the first part is to get practical knowledge of the determination of the 4 PAH covered by the European legislation (Regulation (UE) No 1881/2006, as amended). The method of analysis is based on direct extraction / dispersion of samples with the extraction solvent. The clean-up of the crude extracts is carried out by size exclusion chromatography followed by HPLC with fluorescence detection as described in the UNE CEN/TS This part is completed by a series of theoretical sessions where aspects such us the in-house validation, use of alternative extraction solvents, checking of performance characteristics according to Regulation (UE) No 836/2011, performance requirements for the sum of analytes, quality control and preparation of reports of analysis, will be discussed. Finally, some general aspects will be presented: toxicology, occurrence and alerts in the EU. The aim of the second part of the visit is to get practical knowledge about the analysis of veterinary drug residues included in groups A1 (stilbens), A3 (steroids), A4 (resorcylic acid lactones) and A5 (beta-agonists) as it is stablished in European legislation (Directive 2008/97/CE amending Council Directive 96/22/EC, Council Directive 96/23/EC, Commission Decision 2002/657/EC, etc.). Two analytical methods will be presented in order to cover these 4 groups. Basically, both methods consist of three steps: - Enzymatic hydrolysis and extraction - Solid phase extraction (SPE) clean-up - Liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry in tandem detection (LC- MS/MS). The visit will be completed by theoretical sessions where aspects such as in-house validation according to Commission Decision 2002/657/EC, target matrices, quality control and other technical topics will be discussed.
