As the apparatus ‘Fat-O-Meater’ has never been used in Northern Ireland, it should be deleted from the scope of this Decision concerning Northern Ireland.\n(3)\nThe evaluation of this request has revealed that the conditions for using the new formulae and the new methods are fulfilled.\n(4)\nDecision 2004/370/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.\n(5)\nThe measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:",
