J. M. SILVA RODRÍGUEZ

Agriculture Director-General

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17
May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk
and milk products (1), as last amended by Commission Regula-
tion (EC) No 509/2002 (2),

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001
of 14 December 2001 laying down detailed rules for applying
Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 as regards the import
arrangements for milk and milk products and opening tariff
quotas (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1165/
2002 (4), and in particular Article 40(1) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 lays down a
procedure for the verification of the fat content of New
Zealand butter presented for release into free circulation
in the Community under the current access quota speci-
fied under quota number 09.4589 of Annex III.A to that
Regulation. This procedure is based on statistical princi-
ples. An essential element of this procedure is the use of
a typical process standard deviation of the fat content of
butter made according to a defined specification in a
specified production plant and known in advance by the
control authorities in Member States where the declara-
tion for release into free circulation in the Community is
presented. The identification of the factories and the
corresponding typical process standard deviation are
contained in Commission Decision 2001/651/EC (5).
