Article 4b . 1(c ) of Council Directive 64 / 432 / EEC lays down that the Council
acting by a qualified majority may recognise as being officially free from
swine fever , for the purpose of intra-Community trade in live pigs , parts of
the territory of a Member State providing that certain requirements are
fulfilled .
Similarly , Article 13 . a . 2 . of Council Directive 72 / 461 / EEC lays down that the
Council acting by a qualified majority may recongnise as being free from swine
fever , for the purposes of intra-Community trade in fresh pig meat , parts of
the territory of a Member State providing that the requirements are fulfilled .
Certain parts of the territory of the Community
have already been recognised by Council Decision 88 / 303 / EEC , as either
officially swine fever free or swine fever free .        Certain other parts now
fulfill the requirements for being recognised as either officially swine fever
free or swine fever free . The aim of this proposal is the recognition of these
later parts .

Whereas in certain parts of the territory of France and the Federal Republic
of Germany swine fever has not been detected for more than one year ; whereas
vaccination against swine fever has not been authorized for at least the

not been detected for more than one year ; whereas vaccination against swine
fever has not been authorized for at least the preceding 12 months ; whereas
