(?) The analytical method to be used for the determination of the fatty matter content is that printed in Annex I (method A) to Directive
    84/4/EEC (OJ No L 15, 18. 1 . 1984, p. 28).
(8) The procedure to be followed for the determination of the fatty matter content is as follows :
    — the sample has to be crushed so that 90 % or more can pass through a sieve with an aperture of 500 microns and 100 % can pass
        through a sieve with an aperture of 1 000 microns,
    — the analytical method to be used afterwards is that which is printed in Annex I (Method A) to Directive 84/4/EEC (OJ No L 15, 18 .
        1 . 1984, p. 28).
