COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 27 April 2011
amending Decision 89/471/EEC authorising methods for grading pig carcasses in Germany
(notified under document C(2011) 2709)
(Only the German text is authentic)
(2011/258/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 43(m), in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
By Commission Decision 89/471/EEC (2), the use of several methods for grading pig carcasses in Germany was authorised. |
(2) |
Germany has stated that the update of the national formula is absolutely necessary in order to take into account the breeding progress during the past 15 years. The last update of the lean meat equation of the grading apparatus and the ‘Zwei-Punkt-Meßverfahren’ (ZP) method dates back to 1995. |
(3) |
Germany has requested the Commission to authorise the replacement of the formulas used in the ‘General Electric Logiq 200pro’, the ‘Autofom I’ and ‘Zwei-Punkt-Meßverfahren’ (ZP) methods of grading pig carcasses as well as to authorise two new methods for grading pig carcasses on its territory and has presented a detailed description of the dissection trial, indicating the principles on which that method is based, the results of its dissection trial and the equations used for assessing the percentage of lean meat in the protocol provided for in Article 23(4) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1249/2008 of 10 December 2008 laying down detailed rules on the implementation of the Community scales for the classification of beef, pig and sheep carcasses and the reporting of prices thereof (3). |
(4) |
Examination of that request has revealed that the conditions for authorising those grading methods are fulfilled. Those grading methods should therefore be authorised in Germany. |
(5) |
Decision 89/471/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly. |
(6) |
In view of the technical circumstances while introducing new devices and new equations, the methods for grading pig carcasses authorised under this Decision should apply from 4 October 2011. |
(7) |
Modifications of the apparatus or grading methods should not be allowed, unless they are explicitly authorised by Commission Decision. |
(8) |
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of the Agricultural Markets, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Decision 89/471/EEC is amended as follows:
1. |
Article 1a is replaced by the following: ‘Article 1a By way of derogation from Article 1(2) and (3), the use of the following methods is authorised for grading pig carcasses pursuant to point 1 of Section B.IV of Annex V to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 (*1) in Germany:
|
2. |
the Annex is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Decision. |
Article 2
This Decision shall apply from 4 October 2011.
Article 3
This Decision is addressed to the Federal Republic of Germany.
