ANNEX V Tolerance limits referred to in Article 4(2) 1. For quantity losses resulting from normal storage operations carried out in accordance with the rules, the following tolerance limits shall apply for each agricultural product which is the subject of a public storage measure: (a) cereals 0,2 %; (b) paddy rice, maize 0,4 %; (c) skimmed-milk powder 0,0 %; (d) butter 0,0 %; (e) beef and veal 0,6 %. 2. The percentage for allowable losses during boning of beef shall be 32. This percentage shall apply to all quantities boned during the accounting year. 3. The tolerance limits referred to in point 1 shall be fixed as a percentage of the actual weight, without packaging, of the quantities entering storage and taken over during the accounting year in question, plus the quantities in storage at the beginning of that year. These tolerances shall apply during the physical stock inspections. They shall be calculated, for each product, on the basis of all the quantities stored by a paying agency. The actual weight at entry and removal shall be the recorded weight minus the standard packaging weight, as laid down in the conditions of entry or, where no such conditions have been laid down, minus the average packaging weight used by the paying agency. 4. The tolerance shall not cover losses in terms of number of packages or number of registered pieces. 5. Losses arising from theft or other identifiable losses shall not be included in the calculation of tolerance limits provided for in points 1 and 2.
