This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Done at Brussels, 21 December 2000. For the Commission Franz Fischler Member of the Commission (1) OJ C 190, 8.7.2000, p. 4. (2) See footnote 1. (3) For example, sows for slaughter are 0,288 livestock units, which implies that about 10 such sows can be held; lying hens older than 18 weeks are 0,012 livestock units, which implies that about 250 such hens can be kept. (4) OJ C 384, 10.12.1998, p. 3. (5) OJ L 375, 31.12.1991, p. 1. (6) Commission notice on the de minimis rule for State aid, OJ C 68, 6.3.1996. (7) OJ L 83, 27.3.1999, p. 1.
