 (3) In the case of cheeses presented in containers which also contain conserving liquid, in particular brine, the aid is granted on the net weight, the weight of the liquid being
     deducted.
(13) Where the product contains non-lactic matter, the non-lactic matter is not to be taken into account for the purposes of calculating the aid.
     When completing customs formalities, the applicant must state on the declaration provided for that purpose whether or not non-lactic matter has been added and, where
     this is the case, the actual content by weight of the non-lactic matter added per 100 kilograms of finished product.’
