EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
I.Thespecialcarry-over premiumforMediterranean sardines andanchovies
Thesardine andanchovysectorintheMediterranean areasoftheCommunity isfacing
particular difficulties ,including competition fromcertain non-member countries .
Thedevelopment ofproducers' organizations intheseareascouldalsobeimproved *
Forthesereasons.Article 14(3)ofCouncilRegulation (EEC)No3796/81of
129December 1981onthecommonorganization ofthemarketinfisheryproducts
provides fortheintroduction ,,foraperiodoffouryears,ofaspecialcarry-over
premiumforsardines andanchovies caughtinMediterranean areas.
Inthiscontext,theCommission proposes theintroduction ofarrangements basedon
contracts linkingproducers' organizations andprocessors intheCommunity ,witha
viewofpromoting themarketing ofproducts processed inaccordance withArticle
14(5)ofthebasicRegulation .Toencourage producers' 'organizations tomakeuse
ofthismeasure,theCommission proposes thatprocessors shouldpaytheproducers'
organizations anadequate minimumpricefordeliveries underthesecontracts .The
minimumpricemustbenotlessthanCommunity withdrawal priceplusasumtobe
determined inaccordance with,theprocedure oftheManagement Committee for
Fisheries Products inthelightofthetrendonthemarketfortheproducts in
question .
Tosupporttheactivities ofproducers' organizations ,provision hasbeenmadeso
thatthespecialcarry-over premium mayalsobepaidtoproducers' organizations
whichthemselves submittheproducts inquestion tooneormoreofthespecified
formsofprocessing orwhichhandtheproducts overtomanufacturers forthis
purpose .
InGreecetherearenotyetanyproducers' organizations .TheCommission proposes
therefore that,foratransitional periodoftwoyears,contracts maybeconcluded
betweenprocessors ,ontheonehand,andproducers established inGreecewhoare
notmembersofaproducers' organization ,ontheother.
OJNoL379,31.12.1981,p.1.

Itisproposed thatonlythetopqualities andthesizessuitable forthespecified
formsofprocessing shouldqualifyforthespecialcarry-over premium .
TheCommission proposes thattheCouncil should,inthefirstinstance,fixthe
amountofthespecialcarry-over premium byreference toprocessing costsandthe
oftheproducts inquestion .TheCommission hasincluded aprovision ,however,
whereby theamount maybereviewed inaccordance withtheManagement Committee pro­
cedureinthelightofthetrendinthedifference betweenthesupplycostsofthe
industry intheCommunity andinthemainnon-member countries supplying the
Community ,thetrendinprocessing costsintheCommunity andthebudgetary aspects
ofthemeasure .
Giventhevarious typesofprocessing fortheseproducts,theCommission proposes
thatthespecial premiumshouldbesetattwodistinct level§.
II.Budgetary aspects
Thebudgetary aspectsofthespecialcarry-over premium werealready takeninto
accountinthecontextofthebasicRegulation .TheCouncil andtheCommission
declared thatthecostofthepremium systemshouldnotexceed 2million ECUper
year.TheCommission considers thatthesystemwillcostmorethanwouldintei–
vention onthemarketforfisheryproductsifnosuchsystemwereintroduced ;in
otherwords,therewillbenetexpenditure ,eventakingaccountoftheprobable
reduction inwithdrawals fromthemarket.Suchisthecontextforthelevelsat
