Council Regulation (EEC ) No. 2967/76 lays down common standards for the
 extraneous water content of frozen and deep frozen chickens , hens and cocks.
The determination of the water content of frozen "birds is to "be carried out
"by the application of one of two methods of chemical analysis in the Annexes
 (ill & IV ) of the Regulation. Technical problems have arisen in the applica­
tion in practice of these methods and the degree of correspondence "between the
results obtained.    The problems axe such that they cannot be resolved by the
1st April 1979 , present date for the entry into force of the control methods .
A postponement of the date of application of the Council Regulation until
1st January I98O is proposed.     (Certain other oonneoted dates are changed also ).
