                             SURVEYS OF PIG     PRODUCTION TO

COM ( 79 ) 251 final
 ---pagebreak---                      EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
The Commission is presenting two proposals , in the form of a Directive
amending the provisions relating to statistical surveys of pig product ion^,
in order to :
              - arrive at a definition of pig production ;
               - extend the period for production forecasts by 2 months .
In view of the probable enlargement of the Community , and to avoid any mis­
understanding during discussions between national experts , it seems desirable
that the Council text give5a precise definition of pig production . The
definition , proposed in Article 1 , is already applied in the beef and veal
sector and vas formulated by the Commission in consultation and peraanent
cooperation with the Member States .
In order to introduce preventive market management measures , the Commission
must be informed of likely production trends for the twelve months following
the survey at least .
                              2
 In its third Report in 197°    , the Commission indicated that , since December
 1968 for the first six Member States , and since December 1973 for the nine
Kember States , the interpretation of the results of livestock surveys has
been satisfactory with regard to drawing up production forecasts and drawing
 conclusions about the probable tone of the market . Thus the moment seems
to have come to extend the forecasting period from ten to twelve months .
 The quality of the forecasts will be studied in collaboration with the
 Member States pursuant to Article 9 of Directive 76/630/EEC .
