Whereas, because of the outbreak of classical swine fever in certain production regions in Germany, and in particular in the Land of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, the Commission imposed veterinary and trading restrictions in certain areas of the Land by Decision 98/104/EC of 28 January 1998 concerning certain protective measures relating to classical swine fever in Germany (3), as amended by Decision 98/413/EC (4); whereas exceptional support measures for the market in pigmeat were adopted for this Member State by Commission Regulation (EC) No 370/98 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1427/98 (6);
