(12)The Union revised its rules on testing methods for detecting marine biotoxins in live bivalve molluscs in Commission Regulation (EU) No 15/2011note. New Zealand submitted to the Union equivalence dossiers on its biotoxin testing methodology and approval criteria in the years 2003, 2006 and 2010. After evaluation, the Parties determined that each other's systems are equivalent, while no change to Annex V to the Agreement is necessary.
