THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in pigmeat (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2966/80 (2), and in particular Article 20 thereof,

Whereas, because of the health situation in the breeding sector in one region of production in Italy the passage of live pigs and pigmeat from this region is temporarily prohibited;

Whereas, in order to take account of the limitations to free circulation resulting from the situation, exceptional measures to support the market in that specific region must be taken;

Whereas it is therefore appropriate to fix private storage aid for certain sensitive products in accordance with the detailed implementing rules for the granting of private storage aid in the pigmeat sector adopted by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1092/80 (3);

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
