COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 165/86

of 27 January 1986

adopting exceptional measures for the market in pigmeat in Italy

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic 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 Regulation (EEC) No 3768/85 (2), and in particular Article 20 thereof,

Whereas because of the outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in a production region in Italy the consigning of live pigs originating in that region is temporarily prohibited from any part of the territory situated within a radius of 10 km around any outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease recorded after 1 November 1985; whereas these restrictions also apply in trade in live animals and meat with the other Member States pursuant to Commission Decision 85/632/EEC of 18 December 1985 on certain protective measures against foot-and-mouth disease in Italy (3), as amended by Decision 86/7/EEC (4);

Whereas pigmeat may be consigned for storage outside that region on condition that the provisions of Council Directive 72/461/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health problems affecting intra-Community trade in fresh meat (5), as last amended by Directive 85/322/EEC (6), are complied with;

Whereas, in order to take account of the limitations to free circulation resulting from the situation, exceptional measures to support the market in that specific region must be taken;

Whereas it is therefore appropriate to fix private storage aid for certain sensitive products in accordance with detailed implementing rules for the granting of private storage aid in the pigmeat sector adopted by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1092/80 (7), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 201/85 (8);

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
