(1) The coefficient shown applies to starch with a dry matter content of at least 87 % in the case of maize, rice, wheat, barley and oats starches, and of at least

80 % in the case of potato starch.

The production refund payable on basic starch of a lower dry matter content than that shown is to be adjusted using the following formula:

1. Maize, rice, wheat, barley and oat starch:

Actual percentage of dry matter

87

(cid:253) Production refund

2. Potato starch:

Actual percentage of dry matter

80

(cid:253) Production refund

The dry matter content of starch is determined by the method laid down in Annex II to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1908/84 (OJ L 178, 5. 7. 1984, p.
22). Where the production refund is paid on starch covered by CN code 1108, the starch content in the dry matter must be at least 97 %. The method set out
in Annex III to this Regulation is to be used to determine the degree of purity of starch.

(2) The production refund is payable on products covered by CN codes with a dry matter content of at least 78 %. The production refund payable on products

covered by these CN codes with a dry matter content of less than 78 % is to be adjusted using the following formula:

Actual percentage of dry matter

78

(cid:253) Production refund

(3) The production refund is payable on D-glucitol (sorbitol) in aqueous solution with a dry matter content of at least 70 % Where the dry matter content is

lower than 70 %, the production refund is to be adjusted using the following formula:

Actual percentage of dry matter

70

(cid:253) Production refund

(4) Directly produced from maize, wheat, barley, oats, rice or potatoes, with the exclusion of all use of by-products obtained at the time of the manufacture of

other agricultural products or goods

(5) The production refund is payable on the starch or dextrin dry matter content.'
