REGULATION (EEC) No 2665/70 OF THE COMMISSION  of 29 December 1970  amending Regulation (EEC) No 391/68 laying down detailed rules for intervention buying-in in pigmeat
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community;
Having regard to Council Regulation No 121/67/EEC (1) of 13 June 1967 on the common organisation of the market in pigmeat, as last amended by Council Regulation (EEC) No 1253/70 (2) of 29 June 1970, and in particular Article 4 (6), Article 5 (3) and the second paragraph of Article 22 thereof;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 391/68 (3) of 1 April 1968 laid down detailed rules for intervention buying-in in pigmeat;
Whereas, in order to ensure that the intervention measures are carried out as effectively as possible, the quality of products bought in by the intervention agencies should, as far as possible, remain unchanged, even during a fairly long storage period;
Whereas Community provisions should therefore be laid down concerning refrigeration and storage temperatures and packing;
Whereas the application of Regulation (EEC) No 391/68 showed that the time limits set by Article 7 of that Regulation concerning the obligation on Member States to communicate certain information to the Commission are not always practicable ; whereas, therefore, those time limits should be amended;
Whereas the technical requirements shown in the Annex to that Regulation should be adapted to trade usages so that breasts and unrendered back-fat free of rind may also be bought in;
Whereas, moreover, the technical requirements shown in Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 391/68 should be adapted to the present state of the law;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the Opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat;
