COMMISSION DECISION
of 27 December 2004
authorising a method for grading pig carcases in Cyprus
(notified under document number C(2004) 5296)
(Only the Greek text is authentic)
(2005/7/EC)
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 carcases (1), and in particular Article 5(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 2(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 provides that the grading of pig carcases must be determined by estimating the content of lean meat in accordance with statistically proven assessment methods based on the physical measurement of one or more anatomical parts of the pig carcase; the authorisation of grading methods is subject to compliance with a maximum tolerance for statistical error in assessment; this tolerance was defined in Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2967/85 of 24 October 1985 laying down detailed rules for the application of the Community scale for grading pig carcases (2).
(2) The Government of Cyprus has requested the Commission to authorise one method for grading pig carcases and has submitted the results of its dissection trial which was executed before the day of accession, by presenting part two of the protocol provided for in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 2967/85.
(3) The evaluation of this request has revealed that the conditions for authorising this grading method are fulfilled.
(4) In Cyprus, commercial practice does not require that the tongue and the kidneys are removed from the pig carcase; this should be taken into account in adjusting the weight for standard presentation.
(5) No modification of the apparatus or the grading method may be authorised except by means of a new Commission Decision adopted in the light of experience gained; for this reason, the present authorisation may be revoked.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
The use of the following method is hereby authorised for grading pig carcases pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 in Cyprus:
— the apparatus termed ‘Hennessy Grading Probe (HGP 4)’ and assessment methods related thereto, details of which are given in the Annex.
Notwithstanding the standard presentation referred to in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84, pig carcases may be presented in Cyprus with the tongue and kidneys attached before being weighted and graded. In order to establish quotations for pig carcases on a comparable basis, the recorded hot weight shall be reduced by 0,8 kg.
Modifications of the apparatus or the assessment method shall not be authorised.
This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Cyprus.

Whereas, by letter dated 17 February 1982, the Federal Republic of Germany has requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as 'PHI - Analysis System, consisting of: differential Jon Gun, model 04-303, Jon Gun Control, model 11-065, X-Y Recorder, model 18-020 and Multiplex Control, model 20-055', ordered 13 February 1980, and to be used for research on the controlled growth of extremely thin semiconductor layers, should be considered to be a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 15 July 1982 within the framework of the Commmittee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is a system for analysis; whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the precision of the emission, and the use to which it is put make it specially suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for scientific activities; whereas it must therefore be considered to be a scientific apparatus;
Whereas, however, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of scientific value equivalent to the said apparatus, capable of being used for the same purposes, are currently being manufactured in the Community; whereas this applies, in particular, to the apparatus 'AG 6 Jon Gun', '2600 series Recorder' and 'six channel peak selector, model 317', manufactured by VG Scientific Ltd, Imberhorne Lane, UK-East Grinstead, Sussex RH19 1UB,
