A symmetry transformation is well defined in the case of an invariant theory,being the corresponding operator undetermined otherwise. However, we show that,even with CP violation, it is possible to determine the CP transformation byseparating the Lagrangian of the Standard Model in a CP-conserving and aCP-violating part, in a unique way, making use of the empirically known quarkmixing hierarchy. To order \lambda^3 for the Bd-system, the CP-conservingdirection matches one of the sides of the (bd) unitarity triangle. We use thisdetermination to calculate the rephasing invariant parameter \epsilon, whichmeasures CP-mixing in the B0-B0bar system.Comment: 12 pages, no figure. Version to appear in JHE
