Whereas private storage aid should be fixed to that end in accordance with the detailed rules for granting private storage aid for pigmeat laid down in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3444/90 (3);
Whereas the Netherlands authorities should be authorized to designate the places of slaughter and storage in order to limit the risks of infection;
