COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 2976/86
of 29 September 1986
adopting exceptional support measures for the market in pigmeat in Italy
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
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 1475/86 (2), and in particular Article 20 thereof,
Whereas, because of the outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in certain production regions in Italy, the introduction of live pigs and certain fresh pigmeat products from Italy into the other Member States has been temporarily prohibited pursuant to Commission Decision 86/448/EEC of 4 September 1986 on certain protective measures against foot-and-mouth disease in Italy (3);
Whereas, in order to take account of the limitations to free movement of goods resulting from the situation, exceptional measures to support the market must be taken;
Whereas it is therefore appropriate to fix private storage aid for certain sensitive products coming from the infection zone in accordance with detailed implementing rules for the granting of private storage aid in the pigmeat sector adopted by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1092/80 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 201/85 (5);
Whereas in order to limit the risk of infection the Italian authorites should be authorized to designate the places of storage;
Whereas, given this exceptional situation, this Community measure should be widened by allowing Italy to grant a supplementary aid to be borne by the national budget, the amount of which should be fixed by that Member State with the agreement of the Commission;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
