    Many thanks to Kees Tuijp for sharing the EC document on "Commission
    Regulation (EC) No. 221/2002 of 6 February 2002 amending Regulation (EC)
    No 466/2001 setting maximum levels for certain contaminants in
    foodstuffs." EC No. 221/2002 has an Annex on pages 2-3 which refers to
    Commission Directive 2001/22/EC for performance criteria of sampling
    methods and methods of analysis.
