COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 3162/91 of 28 October 1991 amending Regulation (EEC) No 104/76 laying down common marketing standards for shrimps (Crangon crangon), edible crabs (Cancer pagurus) and Norway lobsters (Nephrops norvegicus)

THE COUNCIL 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 Regulation (EEC) No 1495/89 (2), and in particular Article 2 (3) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 104/76 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 4213/88 (4), lays down, inter alia, the sizing categories applicable to shrimps and crabs, and fixes a maximum size below which these products may not be marketed for human consumption within the Community;

Whereas Article 7 (4) of the said Regulation provides for exemptions from the minimum size for shrimps, in order to ensure local supplies for certain coastal areas of the Community;

Whereas, in order to ensure local or regional supplies of crabs for certain coastal zones of the United Kingdom, Article 7 (5) of the said Regulation introduces an exception reducing the minimum marketing size for this product to 11,5 cm in these zones;

Whereas experience has shown that exceptions from the minimum sizes must be differentiated according to the zones concerned in order to take account of differing conditions of production and sale in these zones;

Whereas, in order to ensure efficient management of the scheme, identical procedures for the fixing of the size exceptions and for the determination of the coastal zones in which these sizes are to apply must be laid down for the two products concerned,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 104/76 is hereby amended as follows:

1. Paragraph 4 shall be replaced by the following:

'4. Exemptions from the minimum sizes referred to in paragraph 1 (a) and (b) may be laid down in order to ensure local or regional supplies of shrimps and crabs for certain coastal zones of the Community.

These zones shall be determined and the corresponding marketing sizes fixed in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 33 of Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81.'

2. Paragraph 5 shall be deleted.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1992. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

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

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 3281/91 of 22 October 1991 amending for the second time Council Regulation (EEC) No 599/91 introducing a credit guarantee for exports of agricultural products and foodstuffs from the Community to the Soviet Union

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 113 and 235 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 599/91 (2), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1758/91 (3), introduces a credit guarantee for the Soviet Union to import agricultural products and foodstuffs from the Community;

Whereas provision should be made for the Community guarantee to be provided at the request of the Soviet Union for food exports in conjunction with contracts concluded by the Soviet Union not only with undertakings in the Community but also with undertakings in Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Yugoslavia, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia;

Whereas that possibility allows, to a certain extent, an assurance to be offered to the countries of Central and Eastern Europe that they can maintain their traditional markets in the Soviet Union for agricultural products;

Whereas the list and the quantities of agricultural products and foodstuffs intended for the Soviet Union must be laid down taking account of the needs expressed in mutual agreement between the central authorities and the republican authorities,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
