COMMISSION DECISION
of 18 July 1989
laying down methods for monitoring performance and assessing the genetic value of pure-bred and hybrid breeding pigs
(89/507/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 88/661/EEC of 19 December 1988 on the zootechnical standards applicable to breeding animals of the porcine species (1), and in particular the first indents of Articles 6 (1) and 10 (1) thereof,
Whereas the methods for monitoring the performance and assessing the genetic value of breeding pigs already being applied in the Member States are broadly similar;
Whereas it is therefore necessary to align the detailed rules of these methods more closely so that the results are comparable;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Zootechnics,
