Translation of "voie de dégradation du glucose " (French → English) :

When no useful data on degradability are available, either experimentally determined or estimated data, the substance should be regarded as not rapidly degradable.

This includes, for example, poorly soluble substances for which no acute toxicity is recorded at levels up to the water solubility (note 4), and which are not rapidly degradable in accordance with section 4.1.2.9.5 and have an experimentally determined BCF ≥ 500 (or, if absent, a log Kow ≥ 4), indicating a potential to bioaccumulate, which will be classified in this category unless other scientific evidence exists showing classification to be unnecessary.

It is therefore appropriate to provide that the determination of starch (or dextrin) content is to be carried out in an enzymatic way by amylase and amyloglucosidase and that the glucose content is to be determined using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), as set out in Annex I to Commission Regulation (EC) No 900/2008 of 16 September 2008 laying down the methods of analysis and other technical provisions necessary for the application of the arrangements for imports of certain goods resulting from the processing of agricult ...[+++]ural products (4) as amended by Commission Regulation (EU) No 118/2010 (5).

33. Stresses the strong links between poverty and the environment and the fact that the poorest are often the principal victims of environmental degradation; notes that efforts to reduce poverty, primarily through economic growth, often ignore the need to integrate environmental considerations into policies for combating poverty; recommends therefore that specific initiatives are taken to address these poverty and environment linkages within policies and programmes, and also that economic growth needs to be de-coupled from environmental degradation by promoting sustainable consumption and production, to address both the supply and the ...[+++]demand in developing countries;

7". Primary biodegradation" means the structural change (transformation) of a surfactant by micro-organisms resulting in the loss of its surface-active properties due to the degradation of the parent substance and consequential loss of the surface-active property as measured by test methods listed in Annex II.

In accordance with the applicable international obligations, transit by air should be neither requested nor granted if in the third country of destination or of transit the third-country national faces the threat of inhumane or humiliating treatment, torture or the death penalty, or if his life or liberty would be at risk by reason of his/her race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political conviction.
