                            EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
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-Communlty 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 recognise 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
fulfiI led.
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 fulfil 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.
The Decision has no financial consequences.

Nom du projet  :    Projet   de   proposition  de  décision du   Conseil   portant
                    deuxième modification       de  la Décision    88/303/CEE   du
                    Conseil reconnaissant certaines parties du territoire de
                    la Communauté comme officiellement        indemnes de peste
                    porcine ou indemnes de peste porcine.
Objet:              La proposition définit certaines régions de Belgique et
                    Grèce comme étant soit officiellement indemnes de peste
                    porcine     classique   soit   indemnes  de   peste    porcine
                    classique.
Impact sur les
les affaires :      On estime que l'Impact de la proposition sur les affaires
                    dans les régions citées dans la proposition sont faibles.
                    Cependant les éleveurs et les abattoirs verront augmenter
                    leurs possibilités d'exportation vers les autres Etats
                    membres.
