*****COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 3698/85  of 23 December 1985  amending for the third time Regulation (EEC) No 2858/85 on the sale of pigmeat held by the Belgian intervention agency pursuant to Regulations (EEC) No 772/85, (EEC) No 978/85 and (EEC) No 1477/85  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 2966/80 (2) and in particular Article 20 thereof,  Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2858/85 (3) as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3287/85 (4) provides that meat held by the Belgian intervention agency pursuant to Regulations (EEC) No 772/85 (5), (EEC) No 978/85 (6) and (EEC) No 1477/85 (7) is to be sold for human consumption;  Whereas the quantity of pigmeat sold under the existing provisions has been insufficient; whereas it seems unlikely that the remaining quantity will be sold within a reasonable period; whereas, as a result, storage charges may become excessive; whereas, in any event, some of the pigmeat in question is no longer fit for human consumption;  Whereas, in the circumstances, processing into products for uses other than for human consumption is an additional worthwhile outlet;  Whereas an additional monthly tender should therefore be provided for in respect of specific quantities to be processed into products for uses other than for human consumption;  Whereas in this case certain provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 2858/85 should not be applied while others should be relaxed; whereas, on the other hand, provision should be made for at least the total sterilization of this meat in accordance with the provisions of Article 4 (1) (a) of Council Directive 80/215/EEC on animal health problems affecting intra-Community trade in meat products (8);  Whereas in the light of the experience acquired in applying Regulation (EEC) No 2858/85 it is necessary to increase the period for the taking over by the purchaser of meat purchased in accordance with the Regulation in question;  Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,  HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:  Article 1  Regulation (EEC) No 2858/85 is amended as follows:  1.
