Up until the sixties, pigs of the Alentejo breed provided the bulk of the country's meat. The pigs
were herded to the large urban centres where the main slaughterhouses were located. In the
provinces,
lines ensured
ample supplies of pigmeat throughout the year. Later, with the spread of early maturing breeds,
many farmers replaced pigs of the Alentejo breed with more productive breeds, but 1992 saw a
reversal of this situation. Today, as in earlier times, the focus is on rearing animals specially
adapted to the extensive system, the aim being to take advantage of the Alentejo ‘montado’ and
improve the environmental conditions of a region threatened by human and animal out-migration.
Indeed, the rearing of these animals is intimately linked to the oak groves which abound in the
production area. Acorns of oaks and cork oaks, the fruits of the ‘montado’, figure predominantly
in the diet of these animals, directly influencing the organoleptic characteristics of their meat.

On 5 July 2002 the Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to
Article 4 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4064/89 (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1310/97 (2),
by which the undertaking The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company (P&O) acquires, within

On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified concentration could fall within

Communication on the consequences of the expiry of the Treaty establishing the European Coal
and Steel Community (ECSC) on the international agreements concluded by the ECSC

(2002/C 168/13)

By virtue of Article 97 thereof, the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) will
expire on 23 July 2002.

The ECSC has concluded a number of bilateral agreements that do not provide for the eventuality of the
expiry of the ECSC Treaty.

The Commission has proposed the following approach:

1. The representatives of the governments of the Member States meeting within the Council would decide
that, as from 24 July 2002, the rights and obligations arising under the international agreements
concluded by the ECSC should be taken over by the European Community.

2. The Council of the European Union would also decide that, as from 24 July 2002, the European
Community (EC) should succeed to the rights and obligations flowing from the international
agreements concluded by the ECSC with third countries.

3. These Decisions would enter into force on the day following the day of their publication in the Official

Journal. These Decisions would apply as from 24 July 2002.

4. Once these Decisions have been adopted the Commission of the European Communities would inform
the third countries concerned about the succession of the EC to the ECSC's rights and obligations
flowing from the agreements concerned.
It would furthermore undertake all necessary technical
amendments in order to make the agreements compatible with EC rules, and would, where appropriate,
negotiate amendments to the agreements.

Pleas in law and main arguments

43/EEC were fulfilled. However, that possibility was not in any
way taken into account by the competent authority.

In the context of the procedure for the approval of the planned
extension to the golf course in the municipality of Wörschach
im Ennstal,
the Styrian authority responsible for nature
protection carried out an appraisal of the compatibility of that
project with the conservation objectives laid down for that
area. In the Commission’s view, the expert’s report carried out
by the Institute may be regarded as an assessment of the
implications for the site within the meaning of Article 6(3) of
Council Directive 92/43/EEC on the conservation of natural
habitats and of wild fauna and flora. The project in question
gave rise to a potentially grave risk to the only instance, within
the inner Alpine region, of the breeding of the corncrake, a
species of bird threatened with extinction worldwide, within
the special protection area located in the Ennstal in accordance
with Article 4 of Council Directive 79/409/EEC on the
conservation of wild birds. On the basis of the results of the
assessment made of the implications for the site, the project
should not have been approved pursuant to Article 6(3) of
Directive 92/43/EEC. Thus, it was capable of being approved
only if the criteria laid down by Article 6(4) of Directive 92/
