THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 43(m), in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) By Commission Decision 2006/784/EC of 14 November 2006 authorising methods for grading pig carcases in France (2), the use of seven methods for grading pig carcasses in France was authorised.
(2) France has requested the Commission to authorise the replacement of the formula used in the ‘CSB Image-Meater’ method for grading pig carcasses on its territory as the present grading method needed technical adaptation. France has presented a detailed description of the dissection trial, indicating the principles on which this new formula is based, the result of its dissection trial and the equation used for assessing the percentage of lean meat in the protocol provided for in Article 23(4) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1249/2008 of 10 December 2008 laying down detailed rules on the implementation of the Community scales for the classification of beef, pig and sheep carcasses and the reporting of prices thereof (3).
(3) Examination of that request has revealed that the conditions for authorising this new formula are fulfilled. This formula should therefore be authorised in France.
(4) Decision 2006/784/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) Modifications of the apparatus or grading method should not be allowed, unless they are explicitly authorised by Commission Implementing Decision.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of the Agricultural Markets,
