L 2488 Official Journal of the European Union 17.9.2008 COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 900/2008 of 16 September 2008 laying down the methods of analysis and other technical provisions necessary for the application of the arrangements for imports of certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products (Codified version) THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff ('), and in particular Article 9 thereof, Whereas: (1)  Commission Regulation (EEC) No 4154/87 of 22 December 1987 laying down the methods of analysis and other technical provisions necessary for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3033/80 laying down the trade arrangements applicable to certain goods resulting from the processing of agri- cultural products (?) has been substantially amended (?). In the interests of clarity and rationality the said Regu- lation should be codified. (20 In order to ensure that goods subject to Council Regu- lation (EC) No 3448/93 of 6 December 1993 laying down the trade arrangements applicable to certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products (*) receive uniform treatment on import throughout the Community, it is necessary that, when laying down analytic methods and other technical provisions, account should be taken of the scientific and technological evolution of analytical methods. (3)  The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Tariff and Statistical Nomenclature Section of the Customs Code Committee, HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: Article 1 This Regulation lays down the methods of analysis necessary for the application of Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 as far as imports are concerned and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1460/96 (°), or, in the absence of a method of analysis, the nature of the analytical operations to be carried out or the principle of a method to be applied.

Atrticle 2 In accordance with the definitions set out in Annex III to Regu- lation (EC) No 1460/96 concerning starch/glucose content, and sucrosefinvert sugarfisoglucose content, and for the purpose of applying Annexes I and IIl to that Regulation, the following formulae, procedures and methods shall be used for starch/ glucose and sucrose/invert sugar/isoglucose content: 1. Starch/glucose content: (expressed as 100 % anhydrous starch content of the goods as presented) @ (Z -5 x09, if the glucose content is not less than the fructose content; or (b) (Z-G) x0)9, if the glucose content is less than the fructose content where: Z = is the glucose content determined by the method set out in Annex I to this Regulation; 1 11 is the fructose content determined by HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography); G = is the glucose content determined by HPLC. In the case of point (a), where the presence of a lactose hydrolysate is declared andfor quantities of lactose and galactose are detected, a glucose content equivalent to the galactose content (determined by HPLC) shall be deducted from the glucose content (Z) before any other calculation is made. 2. Sucrose/invert sugar/isoglucose content: (expressed as sucrose content of the goods as presented) @ S+ (2P x 0,95, if the glucose content is not less than the fructose content;
