Whereas, during the first four weeks of application of the support measures, the purchase of fattened pigs was based on heavy pigs; it is now appropriate to lower the average weight of eligible pigs and to set a corresponding purchase price for  different categories of weight;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
