THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 of 13 November 1984 determining the Community scale for grading pig carcasses (1), and in particular Article 5(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) By Commission Decision 2005/1/EC (2), the Czech Republic was authorised to apply four methods for grading pig carcasses.
(2) The Czech Republic has requested the Commission to authorise two new methods for grading pig carcasses and has submitted the results of its dissection trials, by presenting part two 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 application of the Community scale for grading pig carcasses (3).
(3) The evaluation of this request has revealed that the conditions for authorising the new methods are fulfilled.
(4) Due to technical reasons in slaughterhouses, the Czech Republic requested to fix the limit for using the grading method ‘Zwei-Punkte-Messverfahren (ZP)’ at the previous weekly amount expressed in annual average.
(5) Decision 2005/1/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
