         THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
         Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
         Having regard to Council Directive 2008/71/EC of 15 July 2008 on the identification and registration of pigs (1), and in particular Article 3(2) thereof,

                     Pursuant to Article 3(1) of Directive 2008/71/EC, Member States are to ensure that the competent authority has an up-to-date list of all the holdings which keep animals covered by that Directive and are situated on their territory.
                  
               
                     (3)

                     (5)
                  
                  
                     Decision 2006/80/EC should therefore be repealed.
