Article 2

In accordance with the notes to Annex IV to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005^f1 and for the purposes of applying that Annex, the ‘Data obtained from the analysis of the goods’ set out in column 3 shall be obtained using the methods, procedures and formulae referred to in this Article:

1. 1..

   Sugars

   High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) shall be used for the individual determination of sugars.

   1. A..

      The sucrose content mentioned in column 3 of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 shall be equal to:

      1. (a)

         S + (2F) × 0,95,

         if the glucose content is not less than the fructose content,

         or

      2. (b)

         S + (G + F) × 0,95,

         if the glucose content is less than the fructose content

      where:

      S

   2. is the sucrose content determined by HPLC,

   F

   3. is the fructose content determined by HPLC,

   G

   4. is the glucose content determined by HPLC,

   Where the presence of a lactose hydrolysate is declared and/or quantities of lactose and galactose are detected, a glucose content, equivalent to the galactose content (determined by HPLC), shall be deducted from the glucose (G) content before any other calculation is made.

2. B..

   The glucose content mentioned in column 3 of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 shall be equal to:

   1. (a)

      G – F,

      where the glucose content is more than the fructose content

   2. (b)

      0 (Zero),

      where the glucose content is equal to or less than the fructose content.

   Where the presence of a lactose hydrolysate is declared and/or quantities of lactose and galactose are detected, a glucose content, equivalent to the galactose content (determined by HPLC), shall be deducted from the glucose (G) content before any other calculation is made.
