THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in pigmeat (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 (2), and in particular Article 20 thereof,
Whereas exceptional support measures for the market in pigmeat have been adopted for the Netherlands by Commission Regulation (EC) No 413/97 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1564/97 (4), in response to the outbreak of classical swine fever in certain production areas of that country;
Whereas the appearance of new cases of classical swine fever in the Netherlands has led the authorities to impose new protection and surveillance zones; whereas a favourable veterinary and health situation has allowed those around Berkel-Enschot and Ammerzoden to be abolished; whereas Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 413/97 should therefore be amended accordingly;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
