Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic 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 (EEC) No 2966/80 (2), and in particular Article 20 thereof,
Whereas, because of the health situation in the breeding sector in one region of production in Italy, the passage of live pigs from that region is not possible for the time being; whereas pigmeat may be consigned for storage outside that region on condition that the provisions of Council Directive 72/461/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health problems affecting intra-Community trade in fresh meat (3), as last amended by Directive 84/643/EEC (4), are complied with;
Whereas, in order to take account of the limitations to free circulation resulting from the situation, exceptional measures to support the market in that specific region must be taken;
Whereas it is therefore appropriate to fix private storage aid for certain sensitive products in accordance with the detailed implementing rules for the granting of private storage aid in the pigmeat sector adopted by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1092/80 (5), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 201/85 (6);
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
