 ---pagebreak---                             EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
Denmark , Ireland and the United Kingdom under the Act of Accession and
certain Directives were allowed derogations to maintain their National
provisions for ensuring protection against swine fever .
The Commission has made proposals to the Council for harmonised Community
rules for the control of this disease , however there is insufficient time
remaining prior to the expiry of these derogations for either the Council
to adopt these rules or for the Member States to implement them .  It will
therefore'be necessary to extend for a further period of one year the above
mentioned derogations .
