Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas there is an urgent need to accelerate the modernization of slaughterhouses in certain regions of the Community; whereas in particular the structure and hygiene of slaughterhouses in Belgium are out of date with the result that they no longer meet the economic and, more particularly, health standards;
Whereas a special effort must be made to adapt and rationalize this sector so that it may become competitive again; whereas, in the first instance, and because of the particular situation in Belgium, this effort must be concentrated in that Member State;
Whereas a contribution towards solving the sector's problem could be made by more thorough application of the measures referred to in Council Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 of 15 February 1977 on common measures to improve the conditions under which agricultural and fisheries products are processed and marketed (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1247/85 (4), with a view to accelerating the adaptation of Belgian slaughterhouses, including any cutting plants attached to such slaughterhouses;

Whereas the measure provided for by this Decision is in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Adaptation to Technical Progress set up by Directive 70/156/EEC,
