Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in pigmeat (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1475/86 (2), and in particular Article 4 (6) thereof,

Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
