However, even in such cases no aid may be granted for that part of the investment which brings the number of pig places to more than 1 000.  2. The detailed rules of application of this Article shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 18 of Directive 72/159/EEC.   Article 2 The first subparagraph of Article 9 (2) of Directive 72/159/EEC is replaced by the following:  "2. Where the development plan provides for an investment in pig farming, the granting under Article 8 (1) (b) and (c) of the incentives to that investment shall be subject to the condition that the farm will be capable on completion of the plan of producing at least 35 % of the feedingstuffs consumed by the pigs."   Article 3 This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.     This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.  Done at Luxembourg, 30 June 1981.  For the Council  The President  G.
