concerning pigmeat

(Codified version)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty
Community,

establishing the European

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29
October 1975 on the common organisation of the market in
pigmeat (1), and in particular Article 22 thereof,

Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2806/79 of 13
December 1979 on the exchange between the Member
States and the Commission of certain information
concerning pigmeat and repealing Regulation (EEC) No
2330/74 (2) has been substantially amended (3).
In the
interests of clarity and rationality the said Regulation
should be codified.

Article 22 of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 provides that
the Member States and the Commission shall commu-
nicate to each other the information necessary for imple-
menting that Regulation.
if the infor-
mation required to operate the organised market is to
be available on a standard basis and in due time, to
define in detail the obligations of the Member States as
regards the communication of information.

It is necessary,

The application of the intervention measures provided
for
in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75
requires precise knowledge of the market. In order to
achieve the highest degree of comparability, the prices
for slaughtered pigs to be taken into account should be
the quotations
as determined in accordance with
Commission Regulation (EC) No 1128/2006 of 24 July
2006 on the marketing stage to which the average price
for pig carcases refers (4). In particular, for the purposes
of regular review and in order that intervention measures
may be prepared in sufficient
time, such information
must be available regarding piglet prices as will enable
future changes in the market to be assessed.

It may occur that quotations are not received by the
Commission. A situation must be avoided where the
lack of a quotation causes an abnormal evolution in
the market prices calculated by the Commission. The
missing quotation or quotations should be replaced by
the last quotation available. The use of the last quotation
available is no longer possible after a certain period
without quotations, which may lead to the presumption
of an abnormal situation in the market concerned.

(5)

In order to obtain a view of the market which is as
accurate as possible it
is desirable that regular infor-
mation on the other products of the pigmeat sector is
available to the Commission, as well as other information
which Member States have at their disposal.

(6)

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
