acquired and preventing the reappearance of the disease 
on their territory by strengthening the safeguards which 
they enjoy as regards trade in the products concerned, in 
view of the adverse effects of this disease on the 
productivity of pig herds and on the income of those 
working in this sector, Proposal for a Council Directive amending Directives 64/432/EEC and 72/461/EEC as regards
