Whereas 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; whereas the authorization of grading methods is subject to compliance with a maximum tolerance for statistical error in assessment; whereas this tolerance has been 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 (5);
Whereas the Italian Government has requested the Commission to authorize the use of three methods for grading pig carcases on its territory and has submitted the information required in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 2967/85; whereas an examination of this request has revealed that the conditions for authorizing the said grading methods are fulfilled;
Whereas two different pig populations are present in Italy of which the meat is found in different markets; whereas it is appropriate to provide for two different formulae of estimation, one of them concerning light types of pigs (carcase weight between 60 and 120 kg) and the other adapted to the commercial category of heavy types of pigs (carcase weight between 120 and 180 kg);
Whereas no modification of the apparatus or grading method may be authorized except by means of a new Commission decision adopted in the light of experience gained; whereas, for this reason, the present authorization may be revoked;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
The use of the following methods is hereby authorized for grading pig carcases pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 in Italy:
- the apparatus termed 'Fat-O-Meater' ('FOM') and assessment methods related thereto, details of which are given in Part 1 of the Annex,
- the apparatus termed 'Destron PG 100' ('DEST') and assessment methods related thereto, details of which are given in Part 2 of the Annex,

Modifications of the apparatus or of the assessment methods shall not be authorized.
This Decision is addressed to the Italian Republic.
