ANNEX In Part 6 (CSB Image-Meater) of the Annex to Decision 2006/784/EC, points 2 and 3 are replaced by the following: ‘2. The CSB Image-Meater consists in particular in a video camera, a PC equipped with an image-analysis card, a screen, a printer, a command mechanism, a rate mechanism and interfaces. The 4 Image-Meater variables are all measured at the split line; the measured values are transformed into estimation of a lean meat percentage by a central unit. 3. The lean meat content of the carcass shall be calculated according to the following formula: where: Ŷ = the estimated percentage of lean meat in the carcass, G3 — the minimal fat depth (including rind) over the muscle gluteus medius (in millimetres), G4 — the average fat depth (including rind) over the four lumbar vertebra (called Va, Vb, Vc, Vd) (in millimetres), M3 — the minimal muscle depth between the anterior extremity of the muscle gluteus medius and the dorsal part of the medullar canal (in millimetres), M4 — the average muscle depth over the four lumbar vertebra (called Va, Vb, Vc, Vd) (in millimetres). This formula shall be valid for carcasses weighing between 45 and 125 kilograms.’.
