COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 3252/92 of 9 November 1992 amending Regulation (EEC) No 3062/92 adopting exceptional support measures for the market in pigmeat in the Netherlands

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 1249/89 (2), and in particular Article 20 thereof,

Whereas, on account of an outbreak of swine vesicular disease in a production region of the Netherlands, exceptional measures to support the market in pigmeat were adopted for that Member State by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3062/92 (3);

Whereas, in the light of initial experience gained, the system of aid for private storage introduced by Regulation (EEC) No 3062/92 should be improved to make sure the measure is effective by ensuring that large numbers of producers and operators participate; whereas the aid must be increased to that end;

Whereas provision should be made for the Netherlands authorities to adopt all necessary control and surveillance measures;

Whereas the increased aid should apply from 30 October 1992 so that operators do not defer submitting their private-storage aid applications during the period between the discussion of the measure in the management committee and the entry into force of this Regulation;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

1. the last sentence of the second subparagraph of Article 1 (1) is deleted;
