(3)

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Tariff and Statistical Nomenclature Section of the Customs Code Committee,

1.

Starch/glucose content:

(expressed as 100 % anhydrous starch content of the goods as presented)

 

(a)

(Z – F) × 0,9,

if the glucose content is not less than the fructose content; or
 

(b)

(Z – G) × 0,9,

if the glucose content is less than the fructose content

where:

 

Z

=

is the glucose content determined by the method set out in Annex I to this Regulation;

F

=

is the fructose content determined by HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography);

G

=

is the glucose content determined by HPLC.

In the case of point (a), where the presence of a lactose hydrolysate is declared and/or quantities of lactose and galactose are detected, a glucose content equivalent to the galactose content (determined by HPLC) shall be deducted from the glucose content (Z) before any other calculation is made.
 

2.

Sucrose/invert sugar/isoglucose content:

(expressed as sucrose content of the goods as presented)

 

(a)

S + (2F) × 0,95,

if the glucose content is not less than the fructose content;
 

(b)

S + (G + F) × 0,95,

if the glucose content is less than the fructose content

where:

 

S

=

is the sucrose content determined by HPLC;

F

=

is the fructose content determined by...
