COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1392/94 of 17 June 1994 amending for the seventh time Regulation (EC) No 3088/93 adopting exceptional support measures for the market in pigmeat in Germany

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 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 Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1249/89 (2), and in particular Article 20 thereof,

Whereas, because of the outbreak of classical swine fever in certain production regions in Germany, exceptional support measures for the market in pigmeat were adopted for that Member State in Commission Regulation (EC) No 3088/93 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 767/94 (4);

Whereas, because of the length of the restrictions on the free movement of goods, the number of live pigs laid down in Article 1 (2), (3) and (5) of Regulation (EC) No 3088/93 for which an aid may be granted for the delivery to the German authorities, is exhausted since 2 May 1994; whereas the restrictions on the free movement of goods continue and it is therefore necessary to increase the number of eligible live pigs as from this date;

Whereas the trade restrictions caused by the application of the veterinary measures disturb seriously the marketing of piglets raised in certain areas of the district of Weser-Ems; whereas it is therefore appropriate to include these areas in the exceptional market support measures;

Whereas the aid granted on the delivery of heavy pigs should be adjusted in line with the situation on the markets, taking account of the rise in market prices in the month of May 1994;

Whereas Community financing of the aid is dependent on more effective checks by the German authorities;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
