amending Regulation (EU) No 409/2009 on the establishment of Community conversion factors and presentation codes used to convert fish processed weight into fish live weight

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 of 12 October 1993, establishing a control system applicable to the Common Fishery Policy (1), and in particular Article 5 thereof,

Consequently there is a need to complement Regulation (EC) No 409/2009 with Community conversion factors for frozen fish, so that Community conversion factors are available for all relevant processing states. |
