COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 3672/83

of 19 December 1983

fixing the reference prices for fishery products for the 1984 fishing year

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), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 21 (6) thereof,

Whereas Article 21 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 provides, among other things, for reference prices valid for the Community to be fixed each year, by product category, for the products specified in Annexes I, II, III, IV (B) and V to that Regulation;

Whereas Article 21 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 provides that the reference price for the products specified in Annex I (A) and (D) thereto must be equal to the withdrawal price fixed in accordance with Article 12 (1) thereof;

Whereas the withdrawal prices for the 1984 fishing year for the fishery products specified in Annex I (A) and (D) to Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 were fixed by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3670/83 (2);

Whereas the reference prices for the products specified in Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 must be derived from their guide prices by reference to the price level at which the intervention measures provided for in Article 16 (1) thereof may be taken, and fixed taking account of the situation on the market in those products; whereas the reference prices for those products should therefore be 85 % of the guide prices fixed by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3573/83 (3);

Whereas the reference prices for the tuna specified in Annex III to Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 are based on the weighted average of the free-at-frontier prices recorded on the most representative markets in the Member States during the three preceding years;

Whereas the reference prices for the products specified in Annexes I (B) and (C) and IV (B) to Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 are determined on the basis of the average of the reference prices for the fresh product, account being taken of the processing costs and of the need to ensure a price relationship in keeping with the market situation;

Whereas, for the frozen products specified in Annex V to Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 for which no reference price is fixed for the fresh product, the reference prices are determined on the basis of the reference price applied to a commercially similar fresh product;

Whereas, because of the volume and the conditions of importation of certain products, it is not necessary to fix immediately a reference price for these products;

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

The reference prices for the 1984 fishing year for the products specified in Annexes I, II, III, IV (B) and V to Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 shall be as shown in the Annex hereto.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1984.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Done at Brussels, 19 December 1983.
