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 organisation of the market in pigmeat (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1249/89 (2), and in particular Article 20 thereof,

Whereas, because of the outbreak of classical swine fever in one production region in Belgium, exceptional support measures for the market in pigmeat were adopted for that Member State in Commission Regulation (EC) No 3337/93 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 334/93 (4);

Whereas it is necessary to adjust the buying-in price for pigs to the present market situation taking into account the increase in market prices as from 7 March 1994;

Whereas in view of a new outbreak of classical swine fever, the veterinary and commercial restrictions have been extended by the Belgian authorities to a new region at end February 1994; whereas it is appropriate to include, as from 7 March 1994, the animals coming from this region in the buying-in price scheme provided for by Regulation (EC) No 3337/93;

Whereas the region around the municipality of Wingede is no longer subject to veterinary and commercial restrictions and should therefore be excluded from the buying-in scheme provided for by Regulation (EC) No 3337/93;

Whereas an error has been found in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 3337/93 which has been applied from 9 February 1994; whereas this error should be corrected;
