Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 of 17 December 1992 on the common organization of the market in fishery and aquaculture products(1), and in particular Article 17(4) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas:

(1) Article 17(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 provides that a Community producer price should be fixed for each of the products listed in Annex III to that Regulation;

(2) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3510/82(2) sets down the conversion factors applicable to different species of tuna; it is not therefore necessary to fix the Community producer price for all species of tuna listed in Annex III to Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 but only for yellow-fin tuna (Thunnus albacares);

(3) On the basis of the criteria laid down in the first and second indents of Article 9(2) and in Article 17(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92, the price for the 2000 fishing year should be decreased;

(4) The fishing year begins on 1 January 2000 for the products covered by this Regulation; given the urgency of the matter, it is imperative to grant an exception to the six-week period mentioned in point 1(3) of the Protocol on the role of national parliaments in the European Union annexed to the Treaty of Amsterdam,

Having regard to the request submitted by the United Kingdom and France,

Whereas the United Kingdom and France have requested for an extension to nine months of the maximum period laid down for the application of ear-tags to bison, due to practical difficulties;

Whereas as bison might be reared in other Member States too, this extension should apply for all Member States;

Whereas those bovine animals are kept in such farming conditions where calves stay always close to their mother until they are separated at the age of nine months at the latest;

Whereas it is justified to take into account this request, provided that the extension of the maximum period does not affect the quality of information provided by the national database and that there is no movement of such animals to which ear-tags have not been applied;

Whereas Member States' authorities undertake the commitment not to extend this derogation to other elements of the identification and registration system of bison;

Whereas this Regulation should be without prejudice to the decisions to be adopted regarding the fully operational character of the national databases;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Member States may extend up to nine months the maximum period laid down by Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 820/97 regarding the application of ear-tags to bison (Bison bison spp.).

This extension shall not effect the quality of information provided by the national database.

Article 2

1. The extension provided for in Article 1 shall be granted subject to all the conditions set out in paragraphs 2 and 3.

2. The animals shall belong to the Bison bison spp.

3. The ear-tags shall be applied when the calves are separated from their mothers and, in any case, before they are nine months old. If an animal leaves the holding on which it was born before that age, it shall be ear-tagged before leaving the holding.

Article 3

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
