Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2020/1728

of 17 November 2020

on authorising methods for grading pig carcasses in Croatia

(notified under document C(2020) 7880)

(Only the Croatian text is authentic)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 922/72, (EEC) No 234/79, (EC) No 1037/2001 and (EC) No 1234/20071, and in particular Article 20(p) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Point 1 of Section B.IV of Annex IV to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 provides that, for the classification of pig carcasses, the lean-meat content has to be assessed by means of grading methods authorised by the Commission and only statistically proven assessment methods based on the physical measurement of one or more anatomical parts of the pig carcass may be authorised. The authorisation of grading methods should be subject to compliance with a maximum tolerance for statistical error in assessment. That tolerance is defined in Part A of Annex V to Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/11822.

(2)

Croatia has requested the Commission to authorise five methods (‘Hennessy Grading Probe 2 (HGP2)’, ‘Hennessy Grading Probe 7 (HGP7)’, ‘OptiGrade-MCP’, ‘OptiScan-TP’ and ‘Manual method-ZP’). For that purpose, Croatia has presented a detailed description of the dissection trial, indicating the principles on which the methods are based, the results of its dissection trial and the equations used for assessing the percentage of lean meat in the protocol provided for in Article 11(3) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/1182.

(3)

Examination of that request has revealed that the conditions for authorising the grading methods are fulfilled. These grading methods and formulas should therefore be authorised in Croatia.

(4)

The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the Common Organisation of the Agricultural Markets,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
