COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1211/95 of 30 May 1995 amending for the fifth time Regulation (EC) No 3146/94 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 the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden and by Commission Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 (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 3146/94 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1103/95 (4);

Whereas, it is necessary, for administrative simplification, to clarify the method of financing the aid granted to the producers, in order to ensure that the expenses are shared between the Community and the Member State concerned;

Whereas, thanks to the progress made as far as health is concerned, it is advisable to bring to an end the exceptional support measures for the market in Bavaria;

Whereas it is opportune, due to the continuing veterinary and commercial restrictions, to include the old sows delivered in Lower Saxony under the system of aid provided for by Regulation (EC) No 3146/94; whereas this measure should take immediate effect in order to avoid financial losses to the producers concerned;

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