COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 988/98 of 11 May 1998 amending for the 10th time Regulation (EC) No 913/97 adopting exceptional support measures for the pigmeat market in Spain
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Whereas, because of the outbreak of classical swine fever in certain production regions in Spain, the Commission adopted Regulation (EC) No 913/97 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 744/98 (4), to introduce exceptional support measures for the pigmeat market in that market State;
Whereas, because the veterinary and trade restrictions continue to apply and have been extended to new zones, particularly in the province of Zaragoza, the number of piglets which may be delivered to the competent authorities should be increased so that the exceptional measures can continue from 22 April 1998;
Whereas piglets originating in the new zones are generally marketed at a weight of six kilograms or more; whereas it is therefore necessary to reduce the minimum weight of eligible piglets and to fix the aid for such animals;
Whereas the restrictions on the free movement of piglets have been operative for several weeks in one of the zones in the province of Zaragoza, resulting in a substantial increase in the weight of the animals and consequently an intolerable situation as regards their welfare; whereas retroactive application of Article 1(4) of this Regulation from 15 April 1998 is therefore justified;

Article 1
Regulation (EC) No 913/97 is hereby amended as follows:
1. in Article 1(4), '10 kilograms` is replaced by 'six kilograms`;

'For piglets weighing 6 kilograms or more but less than 13 kilograms on average per batch, the aid referred to in Article 1(4), at farm gate, shall be ECU 27 per head.`;
3. Annex I is replaced by Annex I to this Regulation;
4. Annex II is replaced by Annex II to this Regulation.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from 22 April 1998.
However, the provisions of Article 1(4) shall apply from 15 April 1998 to the protection and surveillance zones defined in the Order of the Diputación General de Aragón of 25 March 1998.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
