COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 3516/93
of 20 December 1993
establishing the operative events for the conversion rates to be
applied when calculating certain amounts provided for by themechanisms of the common organization of the market in fishery
and aquaculture products
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 of 28
December 1992 on the unit of account and the conversion rates to beapplied for the purposes of the common agricultural policy (
1), and in
particular Article 6 (2) thereof,
Whereas all the specific definitions of operative events and rates applic-
able to amounts payable under the measures provided for in CouncilRegulation (EEC) No 3759/92 of 17 December 1992 on the commonorganization of the market in fishery and aquaculture products (
2), as
lastamended by Regulat ion (EEC) No 1891/93 (3), and Council Regula-
tion (EEC) No 3117/85 of 4 November 1985 laying down general ruleson the granting of compensatory indemnities in respect of sardines (
4),
as amended by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3940/87 (5), should
be collated in a single Regulation;
Whereas under the third indent of the second paragraph of Article 23 of
Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1068/93 of 30 April 1993 ondetailed rules for determining and applying agricultural conversionrates (
6), the operative events established therein are applicable to
fishery products from 1 January 1994;
Whereas the use on the operative event provided for in the fourth indent
of the first subparagraph of Article 10 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No1068/93 for withdrawal prices and amounts linked to those prices is notappropriate because of the timetables in use on fishery product marketsand because of the dispersion of those markets; whereas the second dayof the month should therefore be adopted as the operative event;
Whereas the operative events for financial compensation and carry-over
aid should be consistent with the operative events for withdrawal pricesand other amounts involved in their calculation;
Whereas since the definition of the rate applicable to certain measures
provided for in Regulations (EEC) No 3759/92 and (EEC) No 3117/85may cause confusion because of the new definitions set out in Article 1of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 the operative events and rates applic-able to the amounts payable under those measures should be clearlyspecified;
Whereas the references mentioned in Article 13 of Commission Regula-
tion (EEC) No 4176/88 of 28 December 1988 laying down detailedrules of application for the granting of flat-rate aid for certain fisheriesproducts (
7), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2210/93 (8), should
be adapted as a result of the replacement of Commission Regulation(EEC) No 3321/82 of 9 December 1982 laying down detailed rules forthe granting of a carry-over premium for certain fishery products (
