                           PROPOSAL FOR A COUNCIL DIRECTIVE
              extending the derogations granted in respect of classical

 ---pagebreak---                          EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
Because of their specific requirements and the effect of existing Community
 legislation , Denmark , Ireland and the United Kingdom were authorized to
retain for 9 specific period their national rules relating to protecting
against classical swine fever . That period was to have been for studying and
preparing Community rules for thei purpose of ensuring maximum fluidity in int
Community trade whilst protecting the health standards already attained . -•*
There proved to be more technical difficulties than anticipated and a new
factor emerged when , upon adoption of a Directive in December 1976 , the
Council requested the 'Commission to submit proposals on measures for the
eradication of swine fever in the Community . These proposals are now being
prepared and their contents will influence the ways in which trade will be
affected by any guarantees required as regards swine fever . Work on these
matters w-U I have to be conducted simultaneously .
 It is therefore proposed that the deadline of 31 December 1977 , the date on
which the derogations granted ta the     three Member States concerned will
ceass to apply , be extended by c>nt year .
