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 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 animal health measures were adopted by Commission Decision 94/178/EC (3), as last amended by Decision 94/365/EC (4), concerning certain protection measures relating to classical swine fever in Germany; whereas exceptional support measures for the market in pigmeat were adopted for that Member State by Commission Regulation (EC) No 3088/93 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1795/94 (6);

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
