Article 1
United Kingdom
Aid shall be granted to producers of casein and caseinates only if these products
-
have been produced from skimmed milk of Community origin or raw casein extracted from milk of Community origin,
-
meet the composition requirements of Annex I, II or III,
-
are packaged as stipulated in Article 3.
Aid shall be paid on the basis of a written application submitted by the casein or caseinate producer to the competent authority in the Member State where the caseins or caseinates were produced, stating:
- (i)
the producer's name and address,
- (ii)
the quantity of casein or caseinates covered by the application and its quality,
- (iii)
the relevant production batch numbers.
For the purposes of this Regulation a production batch must consist of products of identical quality made on the same day. However, where the total production of casein and caseinates of the establishment concerned during the previous calendar year did not exceed 1 000 tonnes, the production batch may consist of products made during the same calendar week.
For the purposes of this Regulation:

‘ raw casein ’ means products, insoluble in water, obtained from skimmed milk by precipitation through microbial acidification or the addition of acids, rennet or other milk-coagulating enzymes, regardless of any prior use of ion exchange or concentration processes;
‘ casein ’ means washed and dried products, insoluble in water and obtained from raw casein or skimmed milk by precipitation through microbial acidification or the addition of acids, rennet or other milk-coagulating enzymes, regardless of any prior use of ion exchange or concentration processes;
‘ caseinates ’ means products obtained by drying casein or raw casein treated with neutralising agents.
