Within the context of Council Directive 64 / 432 / EEC a " Region” means a part of
                                                         O
a Member State 's territory which is at least 2.000 KM in area and which is
subject to inspection by the competent authorities and includes at least one
specific administrative area .
In the Netherlands a " region " has included at least the administrative area
named : provincie .
For the purpose of veterinary administration the competent authorities in the
Netherlands wishes to replace the administrative unit "Provincie” by the unit
" RW-Kring " ( Rijksdienst voor de keuring van Vee en Vlees ), as the
implementation of regulations concerning importcontrol , certification of live
animals and animal products , disease control and eradication , identification
of cattle and swine is based on the use of " RW-Kring " as an administrative
area . Furthermore the population of pigs is more evenly spread and more exact
knowledge is present concerning abattoirs and cutting plants at the level of
" RW-Kring " than provincie .
The objective of the second item is to reduce the amount of brucellosis
testing applied to certain types of swine entering intra Community trade , this
is to cater for the overall drop in the amount of brucellosis in the Community
and the changes in production systems .
 The Decisión has not financia !, consequences .
