(*) Pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 2730/75 the product falling within subheading 17.02 B I enjoys the same export refund as the
    product falling within subheading 17.02 B II.
(*) The export refund is granted on products falling within this subheading which have a starch content of not less than 85 % by
    weight.
(6) The export refund is granted on products falling within this subheading which have a starch content of not less than 78 % by
    weight.
Q 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 1 (Method A) to Commission Directive
         84/4/ EEC (OJ No L 15, 18 . 1 . 1984, p. 28).
