Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2006/784/EC (2) authorises seven methods for grading pig carcases in France.
(2) To simplify measuring operations, France has requested the Commission to authorise the replacement of the formula used in the ‘Capteur Gras/Maigre — Sydel (CGM)’ method of grading pig carcases and has presented the results of its dissection trials in the second part of the protocol provided for in Article 3(3) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2967/85 of 24 October 1985 laying down detailed rules for the application of the Community scale for grading pig carcases (3).
(3) Examination of this request has revealed that the conditions for authorising this grading method are fulfilled.
(4) Decision 2006/784/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
