COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1103/2000
of 25 May 2000
providing for the granting of compensation to producers’ organisations in
respect of tuna delivered to the processing industry from 1 July to 30
September 1999
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 of 17 December
1992 on the common organisation of the market in fishery and aquacultureproducts (
1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3318/94 (2), and in
particular Article 18(6) thereof,
Whereas:(1) The compensatory allowance provided for in Article 18 of Regulation
(EEC) No 3759/92 is to be granted under certain conditions to
Community tuna producers’ organisations in respect of quantities oftuna delivered to the processing industry during the calendar quarterfor which prices have been recorded, where both the average quarterly
selling price recorded on the Community market and the free-at-
frontier price plus any applicable countervailing charge are lower than91 % of the Community producer price for the product concerned.
(2) An examination of the situation on the Community market has shown
that in the period 1 July to 30 September 1999 both the average
quarterly selling price and the free-at-frontier price as referred to in
Article 18 of Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 for yellowfin tuna(Thunnus albacares ) weighing more than 10 kg each, yellowfin tuna
(Thunnus albacares ) not weighing more than 10 kg each and skipjack
or stripe-bellied bonito ( Euthynnus (Katsuwonus) pelamis ) were lower
than 91 % of the Community producer price in force laid down inCouncil Regulation (EC) No 2763/98 of 17 December 1998 fixing, for
the 1999 fishing year, the Community producer price for tuna intended
for the industrial manufacture of products falling within CN code1604 (
3).
(3) The amount of the allowance provided for in Article 18(2) of
Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 may not in any case exceed either the
difference between the triggering threshold and the average selling
price of the product in question on the Community market or a flat-rateamount equivalent to 12 % of that threshold.
(4) The quantities on which compensation as provided for in Article 18(1)
of Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 is payable may under no circum-
stances exceed the limits laid down in paragraph 3 of that Article for
the quarter concerned.
(5) The quantities of yellowfin tuna ( Thunnus albacares ) not weighing
more than 10 kg each and skipjack or stripe-bellied bonito ( Euthynnus
(Katsuwonus) pelamis ) sold and delivered to the processing industry
established in the customs territory of the Community were higherduring the quarter concerned than the quantities sold and deliveredduring the same quarter of the three previous fishing years. Since those
quantities exceed the limit set in Article 18(3) of Regulation (EEC) No
3759/92, the total quantities of those products on which compensationis payable should therefore be limited.
(6) In accordance with the ceilings laid down in Article 18(4) of
Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 for the purpose of calculating the
allowance to be granted to each producers’ organisation, the quantities
on which the allowance is payable should be allocated among theproducers’ organisations concerned in proportion to the quantitiesproduced by them in the same quarter of the 1996, 1997 and 1998
fishing years.!B

(7) A decision should therefore be taken to grant the allowance on the
products in question for the period 1 July to 30 September 1999.

the opinion of the Management Committee for Fishery Products,
