25As regards Doux’s arguments that the limits for water content laid down by Regulation No 543/2008, which correspond to those in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2891/93 of 21 October 1993, amending Regulation (EEC) No 1538/91 introducing detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EEC) No 1906/90 on certain marketing standards for poultrymeat (OJ 1993 L 263, p. 12), are unlawful as they are obsolete, since the physiological water content of poultry has significantly increased since 1993 and those limits are no longer adapted to the new context in which they must be applied, it must be observed that neither the number of years which has elapsed since the adoption of the provisions of EU law relating to the maximum value for water content for frozen chicken meat, nor the scientific studies submitted by the applicant in the main proceedings, which demonstrate the need to raise those limits, are capable of challenging the validity of Article 15(1) of Regulation No 543/2008 and Annexes VI and VII thereto.
