THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1151/2002 of 27 June 2002 establishing certain concessions in the form of Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural products and providing for an adjustment, as an autonomous and transitional measure, of certain agricultural concessions provided for in the Europe Agreement with Estonia(1), and in particular Article 1(3) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2305/95(2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1539/2002(3), lays down rules for the application in the pigmeat sector of the arrangements provided for in these Agreements. The latter amendment omitted in error a new group of products as provided for in Annex C(b) to Regulation (EC) No 1151/2002.

(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
