(1) The coefficient shown applies to starch with a dry matter content of at least 87 % in the case of maize, rice and wheat starches, and at least 80 % in the case of potato starch.

The production refund payable for basic starch of a lower dry matter content than that shown is to be adjusted using the following formula:

1. Maize, rice of wheat starch:

1.2 // Actual % dry matter 87 // × Production refund

2. Potato starch:

1.2 // Actual % dry matter 80 // × Production refund

The dry matter content of starch is determined by the method laid down in Annex II to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1908/84 (OJ No L 178, 5. 7. 1984, p. 22). Where the production refund is paid for starch falling within CN code 1108, the purity of starch in the dry matter must be at least 97 %.

When determining the degree of purity of starch, the method to be used is that set out in Annex II to this Regulation.

(2) The production refund is payable for products falling within these CN codes with a dry matter content of at least 78 %. The production refund payable for products falling within these CN codes with a dry matter content lower than 78 % is to be adjusted using the following formula:

1.2 // Actual % dry matter 78 // × Production refund

(3) The production refund is payable for D-glucitol (sorbitol) in aqueous solution with a dry matter content of at least 70 %. Where the dry matter content is lower than 70 %, the production refund is to be adjusted using the following formula:

1.2 // Actual % dry matter 70 // × Production refund.'
