The national provisions notified by the Kingdom of Denmark pursuant to Article 114(4) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, derogating from Regulation (EU) 2019/1009 as regards cadmium content in phosphate fertilisers, namely the prohibition of the placing on the Danish market of fertilisers with a cadmium content exceeding 48 mg/kg, P2O5, are approved insofar as they apply to phosphate fertilisers referred to in points 3(a)(ii) in PFC 1(B) and 2(a)(ii) in PFC 1(C)(I) in Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2019/1009, until a revised harmonised limit value equal to or lower than the Danish limit value is applicable at Union level.

The national provisions notified by the Kingdom of Denmark are rejected insofar as they apply to fertilisers other than phosphate fertilisers referred to in points 3(a)(ii) in PFC 1(B) and 2(a)(ii) in PFC 1(C)(I) in Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2019/1009.
