Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 64/432/EEC of 26 June 1964 on animal health problems affecting intra-Community trade in bovine animals and swine (1), as last amended by Directive 82/893/EEC (2), and in particular Article 4c (1) (c) thereof,

Whereas Council Decision 82/838/EEC of 3 December 1982 (4) recognizes certain parts of the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany as being either officially swine-fever-free or swine-fever-free;
