Article 1

Some tolerance is permitted when verifying the

Point III of Annex III to Regulation (EEC) No 2148/96 is
replaced by the following:

‘III. CEREALS AND RICE

A. Physical inspection procedure

1. Selection of bins or storerooms to be checked,
representing at least 5 % of the total quantity of
cereals or rice in public storage.

(1) OJ L 337, 4.12.1990, p. 3.
(2) OJ L 288, 9.11.1996, p. 6.

Article 6 of this Regulation shall apply where the
weight of the products stored as recorded during
the physical
inspection differs from the book
weight by 5 % or more for cereals and 6 % or
more for rice in the case of storage in silos or
on-floor storage.

Where cereals or rice are stored in a warehouse the
quantities weighed on entry into storage may be
recorded instead of those resulting from a volume
assessement if the latter does not provide a degree
of accuracy considered adequate and the difference
between the two figures is not excessive.
