REGULATION (EEC) No 912/71 OF THE COMMISSION of 30 April 1971 amending the French and Italian texts of Regulation (EEC) No 391/68 laying down detailed rules for intervention buying-in in pigmeat

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community;

Having regard to Council Regulation No 121/67/EEC 1 of 13 June 1967 on the common organisation of the market in pigmeat, as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 777/71, 2 and in particular Article 4 (6) and 5 (3) thereof;

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 391/68 3 of 1 April 1968 laying down detailed rules for intervention buying-in in pigmeat, as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2665/70, 4 laid down detailed rules for the buying-in, storage and sale of pigmeat by the intervention agencies of the Member States;

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2665/70 supplemented those rules, particularly as regards refrigeration temperature, storage temperature and packaging;

Whereas there is a discrepancy between the French and Italian texts and the texts in the other Community languages as regards the supplementary rules, which thus do not correspond to the measures adopted by the procedure provided for in Article 24 of Regulation No 121/67/EEC ; whereas it is therefore necessary to amend the relevant texts of Regulation (EEC) No 391/68;
