Greece has informed the Commission that since the adoption of that Decision the grading methods have evolved considerably and changes in the pig population were recorded. Therefore the three methods authorised by that Decision cannot be used anymore. (2) By Commission Decision 2010/642[EU (%), the use of one method for grading dehided pig carcases in Greece was authorised. (3)  Greece has elaborated two new, up-to-date grading methods and has requested the Commission to authorise those two new methods for grading pig carcases on its territory and has presented a detailed description of the dissection trial, indicating the prin- ciples on which those methods are based, the results 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 (4). (4)  Examination of that request has revealed that the conditions for authorising those grading methods are fulfilled. Those grading methods should therefore be authorised in Greece. (5)  Decision 2010/642[EU should therefore be amended accordingly. () OJ L 299, 16.11.2007, p. 1.
