Pigmeat: common organisation of the market CMO

PURPOSE : Codification of Council Regulation 2759/75/EEC on the common organisation of the market in pigmeat. CONTENT : This proposal undertakes the codification of Council Regulation 2759/75/EEC of 29 October 1975 on the common organisation of the market in pigmeat. The new Regulation will supersede the various Regulations incorporated in it; their content is fully preserved, and they are brought together with only such formal amendments as are required by the codification exercise itself. Insofar as the Articles have been given new numbers, the correlation between the old and the new numbers is shown in a table contained in Annex II to the codified Regulation. Given that no changes of substance may be made to the instruments affected by codification, the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission have agreed, by an interinstitutional agreement dated 20 December 1994, that an accelerated procedure may be used for the fast-track adoption of codification instruments.�
