  (') The export refund is paid in respect of maize, groats and meal :
      — of which a percentage not exceeding 30 % passes through a sieve with an aperture of 315 microns,
      — of which a percentage not exceeding 5 % passes through a sieve with an aperture of 150 microns.
  (J) 'Hulled grains* are grains corresponding to the definition given in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 821 /68 (OJ No L 149, 29. 6. 1 968, p. 46).
, (3) 'Pearled grains' are grains corresponding to the definition given in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 821 /68 (OJ No L 149, 29. 6. 1968, p. 46).
  (4) Pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 2730/75 the product falling within subheadings 1702 30 51 and 59 enjoys the same export refund as the product falling
      within subheadings 1702 30 91 and 99, 1702 40 90 and 1702 90 50.
  (*) 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).
  (*) 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).
