Preparations of a kind used in animal feeding See note 1 to this chapter. As regards milk products, see additional note 4 to this chapter. The content of milk products, the content of starch and the content of glucose, glucose syrup, maltodextrin and maltodextrin syrup are regardless of their source calculated on the product as received. As regards starch, the following applies: — Where it is not evident whether any starch is present, a qualitative microscopic method or a qualitative colouration test with iodine solution may be used to verify the presence of starch. — For the determination of starch content, the polarimetric method (also called the modified Ewers method) laid down in Annex III, part L, to Commission Regulation (EC) No 152/2009 (OJ L 54, 26.2.2009, p. 1) is to be applied. Where the polarimetric method is not applicable, e. g. due to presence in significant amounts of materials such as those listed hereafter, the enzymatic analytical method for the determination of the starch content laid down in the Annex to Commission Regulation (EC) No 121/2008 (OJ L 37, 12.2.2008, p. 3) is to be applied. The following specific materials are known to give rise to interferences by applying the polarimetric method: (a) (sugar) beet products such as (sugar) beet pulp, (sugar) beet molasses, (sugar) beet pulp-molassed, (sugar) beet vinasse, (beet) sugar; (b) citrus pulp; (c) linseed; linseed expeller; linseed extracted; (d) rape seed; rape seed expeller; rape seed extracted; rape-seed hulls; (e) sunflower seed; sunflower seed extracted; sunflower seed, partially decorticated, extracted; (f) copra expeller; copra extracted; (g) potato pulp; (h) dehydrated yeast; (i) products rich in inulin (for example, chips and meal of Jerusalem artichokes); (j) greaves; (k) soya products. — Products with a content lower than 0,5 % by weight of starch should not be considered as containing starch. As regards glucose, High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) may be used for the determination of glucose (Commission Regulation (EC) No 904/2008 (OJ L 249, 18.9.2008, p. 9)).’

Communication from the Commission — Approval of the content of a draft Commission Regulation amending Regulation (EU) No 702/2014 declaring certain categories of aid in the agricultural and forestry sectors and in rural areas compatible with the internal market in application of Articles 107 and 108 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union

(2018/C 421/01)

On 20 November 2018, the Commission approved the content of a draft Commission Regulation amending Regulation (EU) No 702/2014 declaring certain categories of aid in the agricultural and forestry sectors and in rural areas compatible with the internal market in application of Articles 107 and 108 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.

The draft Commission Regulation is attached as an Annex to this Communication.

Regulation (EU) No 702/2014 is adapted so as to reflect the amendments made to the rules on rural development support through Regulation (EU) 2017/2393 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1). The adaptations are purely technical and limited to what is necessary to continue exempting certain types of rural development support for the forestry sector and for non-agricultural activities from the State aid notification procedure. The conditions applicable to State aid for the agricultural sector are left unchanged because rural development support in that area is exempted from the application of State aid rules in accordance with Article 42 TFEU.
