of 21 December 1987

fixing the standard values to be used in calculating the financial compensation and the advance pertaining thereto in respect of fishery products withdrawn from the market during the 1988 fishing year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), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3759/87 (2), and in particular Article 13 (7) thereof,

Whereas Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 provides for the payment of financial compensation to producers' organizations which intervene, on certain conditions, in respect of the products listed in Annex I (A) and (D) to that Regulation; whereas the amount of such financial compensation must be reduced by standard values in the case of products intended for purposes other than human consumption;

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1501/83 (3) specifies the ways in which the products withdrawn must be disposed of; whereas the value of such products must be fixed at a standard level for each of these modes of disposal, taking into account the average receipts which may be obtained from such disposal;

Whereas, on the basis of the relevant information on this value, it should be fixed for the 1988 fishing year as shown in the Annex hereto;

Whereas, pursuant to Article 9 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3137/82 (4), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3165/84 (5), the body responsible for payment of the financial compensation is that of the Member State in which the producers' organization was recognized; whereas the standard value deductible should therefore be the value applied in that Member State;

Whereas the abovementioned provisions are equally applicable to the advance on the financial compensation provided for in Article 5 (2) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2202/82 (6);

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
