whole milk for human consumption either the formula of non- standardized .  
whole milk whose fat content has not been altered since the milking stage  
(Ireland and the United Kingdom) or the formula of standardized whole milk

exception of Italy who have made use of the authorization laid down in  
Article 6(3) of the aforesaid Regulation.) v ;  vn- ■ ' p .
Pursuant to Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1411/71, Ireland and the United  
Kingdom must, however, permit the marketing on their territories of standardized  
whole milk coming from another Member State if the fat content of such milk is  
not less than a percentage to be fixed for each milk year and corresponds to  
the weighted average fat content of the whole milk produced and marketed in  
the Member State in question during the previous year (guideline figure), v
