Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),

Whereas, under Directive 92/120/EEC (4), the maximum output for slaughterhouses benefiting from the derogation was increased to 20 livestock units per week and 1 000 livestock units per year respectively, until 28 February 1995;

Whereas the Council has received a proposal from the Commission aimed at reviewing the provisions applicable to small establishments benefiting from the derogation and whereas the Council has been unable to act on that proposal before 28 February 1995;
