  "text": "Commission Implementing Decision\nof 18 April 2013\namending Decision 2005/1/EC authorising methods for grading pig carcasses in the Czech Republic as regards the formulas of the authorised methods and the presentation of such carcasses\n(notified under document C(2013) 2037)\n(Only the Czech text is authentic)\n(2013/187/EU)\nTHE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,\nHaving regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,\nHaving regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation), and in particular Article 43(m), in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,\nWhereas:\n(1)\nBy Commission Decision 2005/1/EC, the use of six methods for grading pig carcasses in the Czech Republic was authorised.\n(2)\nDue to changes in the pig population in the Czech Republic, higher lean meat content can be expected for the present population of pigs for slaughter. It is therefore necessary to update the formulas of the authorised methods.\n(3)\nThe Czech Republic has requested the Commission to authorise the replacement of the formulas used for grading pig carcasses on its territory and has presented a detailed description of the dissection trial, indicating the principles on which those formulas are based, the result of its dissection trial and the equations used for assessing the percentage of lean meat in the protocol provided for in Article 23(4) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1249/2008 of 10 December 2008 laying down detailed rules on the implementation of the Community scales for the classification of beef, pig and sheep carcasses and the reporting of prices thereof.\n(4)\nExamination of that request has revealed that the conditions for authorising those new formulas are fulfilled. Those formulas should therefore be authorised in the Czech Republic.\n(5)\nThe Czech Republic has requested the Commission to be authorised to provide for a presentation of pig carcasses different from the standard presentation defined in the first paragraph of point B.III of Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.\n(6)\nIn accordance with the second paragraph of point B.III of Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, Member States may be authorised to provide for a presentation of pig carcasses different from the standard presentation defined in the first paragraph of that point, where normal commercial practice in their territory differs from that standard presentation. In its request, the Czech Republic specified that in its territory it is commercial practice that carcasses can be presented without ears and with the flare fat. These presentations that differ from the standard presentation should therefore be authorised in the Czech Republic.\n(7)\nIn order to establish quotations for pig carcasses on a comparable basis, this different presentation should be taken into account by adjusting the weight recorded in such cases in relation to the weight for standard presentation.\n(8)\nDecision 2005/1/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.\n(9)\nModifications of the apparatus or grading methods should not be allowed, unless they are explicitly authorised by Commission Implementing Decision.\n(10)\nIn view of the technical circumstances while introducing new formulas and new equations, the formulas of the authorised methods for grading pig carcasses authorised under this Decision should apply from 1 July 2013.\n(11)\nThe measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of the Agricultural Markets,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:",
