EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

1) Context of the proposal · 110                  Grounds for and objectives of the proposal The immediate objective of this proposal is to enable the Council to discharge its regulatory obligation to determine the guide prices and the Union producer price for the fishing year 2013. The wider objective of this proposal is thus to ensure the functioning of the price support and intervention mechanisms laid down in Council Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 during the fishing year in question. · 120                  General context Council Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 establishes a Common Organisation of the Markets in Fishery and Aquaculture Products, which pertains to the market- and trade-related aspects of the Common Fisheries Policy and thus also serves to implement the objectives enshrined in Article 39 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. Specific price support and intervention mechanisms are one important component of the Common Market Organisation. In this context, Article 43(3) of the Treaty empowers the Council to adopt, upon a proposal from the Commission, measures on the fixing of prices. This concerns the guide prices for a specified number of fishery products of EU importance as well as the Union producer price for specified tuna products. The guide prices form the reference for the subsequent fixing, by way of Commission implementing regulations, of the different technical parameters needed for the operation of the intervention mechanisms. The Union producer price is of relevance for the compensatory allowance for tuna delivered to the processing industry, which might be triggered when prices on the world markets fall below a specified trigger level. Pursuant to Council Regulation (EC) No 104/2000, the relevant prices shall follow both the development of market prices during the three preceding fishing years as well as trends in production and demand. In line with that, the proposal is for adjustments of between -1% and +1.5% for most whitefish species; for increases between +1.5% and +2.5% for a majority of pelagic species; and for increases between +0.5% and +3% for most crustaceans. In the field of frozen species, the proposal reflects increases between +1% and +3% for a majority of products. Finally, the proposal is for increasing the Union producer price for tuna products by +2%. · 130                  Existing provisions in the area of the proposal Council Regulation (EU) No 1388/2011 fixing for the 2012 fishing year the guide prices and Union producer prices for certain fishery products pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 104/2000. · 140                  Consistency with the other policies and objectives of the Union The functioning of the Common Market Organisation set up by Council Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 and the discharge of the regulatory obligations pertaining thereto also serve to implement the objectives enshrined in Article 39 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. 2) Consultation of interested parties and impact assessment ·   Consultation of interested parties 211                  Consultation methods, main sectors targeted and general profile of respondents The Examination Committee for Fishery Products and the Advisory Committee on Fisheries and Aquaculture. 212                  Summary of responses and how they have been taken into account The views of both Committees have provided valuable input to the Commission's market analysis. ·   Collection and use of expertise 221                  Scientific/expertise domains concerned Markets in fishery products. 222                  Methodology used Open consultation. 223                  Main organisations/experts consulted Experts representing the Member States at the Examination Committee for Fishery Products. Experts representing all major groups of EU stakeholders at the Advisory Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture. 2249                Summary of advice received and used The existence of potentially serious risks with irreversible consequences has not been mentionned. 225                  Advices are usually reflected in the proposal fixing the guide prices and Union producer prices. 226                  Means used to make the expert advice publicly available Minutes of the meetings of the Examination Committee for Fishery Products and the Advisory Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture. · 230                  Impact assessment Considering the specific nature of the proposal, namely the annual determination of relevant prices pursuant to the provisos of the Common Market Organisation in its present version, an impact assessment is not required. The proposal is nevertheless based on a regular monitoring on interventions in the preceding fishing years and a thorough analysis of the market situation for each one of the relevant fishery products. 3) Legal elements of the proposal · 305                  Summary of the proposed action Proposal for a Council Regulation fixing for the 2013 fishing year the guide prices and Union producer prices for certain fishery products. · 310                  Legal basis Article 43(3) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. · 329                  Subsidiarity principle The proposal falls under the exclusive competence of the Community. The subsidiarity principle therefore does not apply. ·             Proportionality principle The proposal complies with the proportionality principle for the following reason(s). 331                  The attainment of the Single Market in the field of fisheries products requires the fixation of guide prices. The Common Market Organisation provides for specific intervention mechanisms but forces none of the relevant actors (producer organisations) to have recourse to intervention. 332                  The Common Market Organisation has considerably decreased both the attractiveness of intervention in the form of wasteful withdrawals as well as the corresponding financial means. ·   Choice of instruments 341                  Proposed instruments: regulation. 342                  Other means would not be adequate for the following reason(s). The guide prices and Union producer prices shall be fixed by the Council acting on a qualified majority on a proposal from the Commission. A regulation is required to ensure direct applicability and uniformity throughout the EU. 4) Budgetary implication 401                  Since this is a price-fixing exercise, the impact on expenditure is indirect and will largely depend on developments in the market situation and on quantities of fishery products landed.

Proposal for a

COUNCIL REGULATION

fixing for the 2013 fishing year the guide
prices and Union producer prices for certain fishery products pursuant to Regulation
(EC) No 104/2000

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard
to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular
Article 43(3) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the
European Commission,

Whereas:

(1)       Article 43(3) of the
Treaty provides that the Council, on a proposal from the Commission, is to
adopt measures on the fixing of prices.

(2)       Regulation (EC) No
104/2000 of 17 December 1999 on the common
organisation of the markets in fishery and aquaculture products[1]
requires that guide prices and Union producer prices for each fishing year be
fixed in order to determine price levels for intervention on the market for
certain fisheries products.

(3)       It is incumbent upon the
Council to fix the guide prices for each of the products and groups of products
listed in Annexes I and II to Regulation (EC) No 104/2000, and the Union
producer prices for the products listed in Annex III to that Regulation.

(4)       On the basis of the data
currently available on the prices for the products concerned and the criteria laid
down in Article 18(2) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000, the guide prices should
be increased, maintained or reduced for the 2013 fishing year depending on the
species.

(5)       It is appropriate to
establish the Union producer price for one of the products listed in Annex III
to Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 and to calculate the Union producer prices for
the others by means of the conversion factors established by Commission
Regulation (EC) No 802/2006 of 30 May 2006 fixing the conversion factors
applicable to fish of the genera Thunnus and Euthynnus[2].

(6)       On the basis of the
criteria laid down in the first and second indent of Article 18(2) and in accordance
with the procedure laid down in Article 26(1) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000,
the Union producer price for the 2013 fishing year should be fixed,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

For the
fishing year from 1 January to 31 December 2013, the guide prices as provided
for in Article 18(1) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 shall be as set out in
Annex I to this Regulation.

Article 2

For the
fishing year from 1 January to 31 December 2013,
the Union producer prices as provided for in Article 26(1) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 shall be as
set out in Annex II to this Regulation.

Article 3

This
Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 2013.

This Regulation shall be binding in its
entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Grounds
for the proposal/initiative

Requirement(s)
to be met in the short or long term

The interventions concerning fishery products are carried
out under the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) in accordance with Article 40 of
the TFEU. They aim at providing stability to the EU markets by preventing
possible risks of crisis. In this context, appropriate price and supply
policies are of utmost importance. The interest of the production and marketing
chain and the need to strengthen the competitiveness of the sector in a context
of globalisation must be taken into account. The objective of market stability
together with the support to producers’ income can essentially be achieved
through the different mechanisms of intervention on the markets, e.g.
withdrawals, carry-over, compensatory allowance. The interest of the consumers
must also be considered

Added
value of EU involvement

The question of subsidiarity is not relevant to this
proposal since intervention falls within the exclusive competence of the EU.
The added value of EU intervention is directly related to the underlying
arguments of the existence of a Common Organisation of the Markets in fishery
and aquaculture products

Lessons
learned from similar experiences in the past

The yearly fixation of the guide prices and the Union
producer price contribute to the attainment of the Single Market in the field
of fisheries products

The Common Market Organisation has considerably decreased
both the attractiveness of intervention in the form of wasteful withdrawals as
well as the corresponding financial means

Coherence
and possible synergy with other relevant instruments

Price support and intervention mechanisms are one important
component of the Common Market Organisation. The guide prices provide the basis
for the subsequent fixing of the different parameters needed for the operation
of the intervention mechanisms for the fishing year concerned. Similarly, the
Union producer price forms the basis for the granting of the compensatory
allowance for tuna which might be triggered depending on the development of
prices on the world markets
