THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in pigmeat (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1249/89 (2), and in particular Article 4 (6) thereof,

Whereas by Decision 89/471/EEC (5), the Commission set the date 30 June 1990 as the final date for the application of Decision 87/43/EEC (6) on this subject and authorized the methods for grading pig carcases in Germany, which entail in particular the use of the apparatus termed 'Ultrasound-Scanner', results of measuring with which constitute the basis for a procedure for calibrating other apparatus for grading pig carcases; whereas the other apparatus apparently require further technical adjustments to satisfy the calibration conditions; whereas, for that reason, the period of application of Decision 87/43/EEC must be extended from 30 June 1990 to 31 December 1990;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
