# Commission Regulation (EC) No 94/2009 of 30 January 2009 adopting temporary exceptional support measure for the pigmeat and beef market in form of a disposal scheme in Ireland, Article 2: Disposal of animals and meat

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

1. Ireland is authorised to compensate for the disposal of the animals and the meat referred to in Article 1, with a view to the slaughtering and full destruction of these animals and their relevant by-products and the destruction of the meat in compliance with the relevant veterinary legislation.
The destruction of live animals shall be accomplished by delivery to a slaughterhouse followed, after counting and weighing, by transport of all carcases to a rendering plant, where all materials shall be rendered.
Where animals are unfit for transport to a slaughterhouse, the animals may be killed on farm.
Destruction of meat will be effected after weighing and transport to a rendering plant, where all materials shall be rendered.
These operations shall be carried out under the permanent supervision of the competent Irish authorities, using standardised checklists incorporating weighing and counting sheets.
2. The compensation to be paid by the competent Irish authorities for the disposal of the animals referred to in points (a) and (b) of Article 1 and of the products referred to in point (c) of that Article shall not exceed the market value of the animals and products concerned at the moment prior to the decision of the Irish authorities to recall, as a precautionary measure, all pigmeat and pigmeat products from the market.
In order to avoid any over-compensation, the compensation paid by the competent Irish authorities shall take into account any other type of compensation to which the suppliers of animals or slaughterhouses may be entitled to.
3. The compensation for the products to be disposed of under this Regulation shall be paid by the competent Irish authorities after the reception of the products by the rendering plant and after controls in accordance with Article 4(1)(c). Compensation paid under this Regulation by the competent Irish authorities shall be eligible for Community part-financing after the full destruction of the products concerned has been established on the basis of all necessary documentary and physical checks.
Point (a) of the third subparagraph of Article 5(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 883/2006 shall apply mutatis mutandis.
Only expenditure declared in respect of July 2009 at the latest shall be eligible for Community part financing.
