    calculation of the fat content by weight. When the product falling within this subheading is a mixture containing added whey
    and/or added lactose, the added whey and/or added lactose shall not be taken into account in the calculation of the amount of
    refund .
    When completing customs formalities, the applicant shall state on the declaration provided for this purpose :
    — the actual content by weight of whey and/or lactose added per 100 kg of finished product,

    (a) the amount per 100 kg shown ; however, where whey and/or lactose have been added to the product, the amount per 100

        — multiplied by the weight of the lactic part other than the added whey and/or added lactose contained in 1(^0 kg of
             product, and then
        — divided by the weight of the lactic part contained in 100 kg of product ;
    (b) a component calculated in accordance with the provisions of Article 2 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1098/68 .
    When completing customs formalities, the applicant shall state on the declaration provided for this purpose :
