'The use of inward processing arrangements shall not, however, be prohibited in respect of whey falling within subheadings 04.01 A I and 04.02 A I of the Common Customs Tariff when it is processed into products falling within subheading 04.02 A I, 17.02 A and 21.07 F I and into lactalbumin falling within subheading 35.02 A.'
