What Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2016/170 of 5 February 2016 authorising methods for grading pig carcasses in Finland (notified under document C(2016) 658) requires

Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2016/170, adopted on 5 February 2016 and published in the Official Journal of the European Union (L 32/163) on 9 February 2016, authorises specific methods for grading pig carcasses in Finland pursuant to point 1 of Section B.IV of Annex IV to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013. The Decision is addressed to the Republic of Finland and applies from 1 February 2016. The Decision authorises two apparatus and their associated assessment methods: the 'Hennessy Grading Probe 4 (HGP4)' and the 'AutoFOM III' (fully automatic ultrasonic carcass grading). For the HGP4, lean meat content is calculated using a specified formula valid for carcasses weighing between 50 and 120 kg, based on physical measurements of back fat thickness and muscle thickness at defined anatomical positions. For the AutoFOM III, lean meat content is calculated using a separate formula also valid for carcasses weighing between 50 and 120 kilograms, derived from ultrasonic measurements across two selected cross-sections. Modifications of the authorised apparatus or grading methods shall not be allowed unless explicitly authorised by Commission Decision. Decision 96/550/EC, which previously authorised three grading methods in Finland, is repealed by this Decision.
