Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 of 15 February 1977 on common measures to improve the conditions under which agricultural products are processed and marketed (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3164/82 (2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,

Whereas on 16 June 1983 the Dutch Government notified an amendment to the programme on processing and marketing of pigs, which has been approved by the Commission Decision of 24 June 1980 (3);

Whereas the amendment relates to the updating of this programme and its prolongation until 1987 and is consistent with the objectives and provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77;
