COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 657/86

of 28 February 1986

fixing the reference prices for certain fishery products for the period 1 March to 31 December 1986

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 of 29 December 1981 on the common organization of the market in fishery products (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 21 (6) thereof,

Whereas Article 21 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 provides for the annual fixing, by product category, of reference prices valid for the Community for the products specified in particular in Annexes I, IV (B) and V to the said Regulation;

Whereas Article 21 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 provides that for the products specified in Annex I (A) and (E) to the said Regulation, the reference price is to be equal to the withdrawal price or the selling price, fixed in accordance with Article 12 (1) of the said Regulation;

Whereas the Community withdrawal and selling prices for the products concerned were fixed for the period 1 March to 31 December 1986 by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 656/86 (2);

Whereas, given the quantities of certain frozen and salted products and the conditions governing their importation, it does not appear necessary to fix a reference price for such products in the immediate future;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fishery Products,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1
