II.Theextensiontonon-members ofcertainrulesLaid
downbyproducers'organizations
Underthecommonorganization ofthemarketinfisheryproducts,theproducers'
organizations weregiven,fromtheoutset,akeyroleintheeverydaymanagement
ofthemarket.Unfortunately ,ithasfrequently beenthecasethatthemeasures
laiddownbytheseorganizations tostabilizethemarkethavenotachieved
theirfulleffectbecauseofthedisturbinginfluenceofproducerswhodonot
belongtotheorganizations .
Tohelpsolvethisproblem,Article7ofthenewbasicRegulationadoptedby
theCouncilprovidesthatMemberStatesmayobligenon-memberstocomplywith
themarketingruleslaiddownbyproducers'organizations andtoobservethe
withdrawalprice,subjecttotheconditionthattheorganizations inquestion
shouldberepresentative ofproduction andmarketinginagivengeographical
area.
TheCommissionproposesthataproducers'organization shouldbeconsidered
asrepresentative whereitsproduction andmarketingactivityisofsignificant
importance onthemarketforoneormoreproductsintheareaconcerned.
Themarketingruleswithwhichnon-members mayhavetocomplyrelatetosuch
mattersasalltechnicalaspectsoftheproducts'presentation forinitial
saleandthepreparation forsale; thestronger
influencethusenjoyedbytheproducers'organizations shouldhelpto
stabilizethemarket,inlinewiththeCouncil'swishes.
Ontheotherhand,therulestobeextendedtonon-members willapplyonly
tothefirststageofmarketing.Whereproductshavealreadybeensoldfor
thefirsttimebeforetheyarelandedintheareaconcerned (suchdirect
salesareusuallyatpriceslowerthantheauctionprices,sincefewer
costsareentailed),provisionshouldbemadesothattheminimumprice
tobeobservedatthisfirststagecanbeslightlylowerthanthewithdrawal
price.TheCommissionproposestosetthisminimumat95%ofthewithdrawal
price.

Lastly,themeasurecannotachieveitspurposeiftherulesaremade
compulsoryfortooshortaperiod.Forthisreason,theCommissionproposes
thattheperiodinquestionshouldbedeterminedinaccordancewiththe
ManagementCommitteeproceduresothatitwillbeeasiertoadjustthe
lengthoftheminimumperiodshouldproduction andmarketingrequirements
makethisnecessary.Ontheotherhand,topreventsuchextensionsof
marketingrulesbecoming"institutionalized ",itisproposedthatthe
periodinquestionshouldnotexceed12months.
III.Thegrantingoffinancialcompensation
Oneoftheconditionsforthegrantingoffinancialcompensation ,asreferred
toinArticle13ofthenewbasicRegulation,isthattheproducers'organi­
zationsshouldapplytheCommunitywithdrawalprice.Thepurposeofthewith­
drawal (systemitselfistostabilizemarketpriceswithoutentailingthe
formationofstructuralsurplusesintheCommunity.
Theaimofthenewsystemofdegressivecompensation introduced bythe
Council(Article13ofthenewRegulation )istoencourageproducers'organi­
zationstomatchtheirproduction morecloselytothequantitative andquali­
tativeneedsofthemarketandtosatisfytherequirements relatingtothe
conservation andmanagement ofresources.
Toachivetheseaims,theCommissionproposesthatfinancialcompensation
shouldbepaidtoproducers'organizations providedthattheyhaveapplied
theCommunitywithdrawalpricethroughoutthefishingyear.Experiencehas
shownthatitmustbeclearlystipulatedthatthemembersofaproducers'
organization areobligedtoobservetheCommunitywithdrawalpriceincases
wheretheyareauthorizedtomarkettheirproductsinaccordancewithcommon
ruleslaiddownbytheirorganization .

-4-
Topreventthelarge-scalewithdrawals whichmightresultiftheCommunity
withdrawalpricewererigidlyappliedthroughouttheyear,Article13(1)(a)
ofthenewbasicRegulationallowsproducers'organizations toapplya
marginoftoleranceextending 10%belowand5%abovetheCommunitywithdrawal
price,dependingontheirassessmentofthemarket.Thisshouldenableprodu­
cers'organizations totakeaccountofthefrequentseasonalchangesinthe
marketingconditionspeculiartoeachportandeachregion.Thus,anyuse
whichaproducers'organization makesofthemarginoftolerancewillin
factdependonlocalorregionalconditions.
Topreventanydisturbance oflocalorregionalmarketswhichmightresult
fromseveralproducers'organizations differingintheiruseofthemargin
oftolerance,theCommissionproposesthat,whereaproducers'organization
oroneofitsmembersoffersitsproductsforsaleinanareaoutsideits
ownoperational area,onlytheusemadeofthe.marginoftoleranceinthe
areaconcernedshouldbetakenintoconsideration forthedetermination of
thewithdrawalpriceapplicabletothequantitiesinquestion.
Similarly,financialcompensation shouldbegrantedonlyinrespectof
productscaughtbythemembersofproducers'organizations whichhaverules
toensurethatfishingactivitiestakeplacealongrationallinesandthat
conditionsforthesaleoftheirproductsareimproved.Itwouldbewrong
fornon-members,whoarenotobligedtocomplywiththeserules,toqualify
forfinancialcompensation .
TheCommissionproposes,therefore,that,subjecttocertainconditions,
financialcompensation shouldbepayableonlyinrespectofthoseproducts
whichhavebeenofferedforsalethroughaproducers'organization orby
oneofitsmembers,inaccordancewiththeruleslaiddownbytheorganization .
Compensation shouldnotbepayableonproductswhichareofferedforsale
withouthavingbeengradedinaccordancewiththemarketingstandards
providedforinthebasicRegulationorwhichdonotmeetthesestandards
atthetimeoftheirwithdrawal fromthemarket.

-5-
Itmustbeborneinmindthatoneofthebasicaimsofthecommon
organization ofthemarketinfisheryproductsistoimprovethe
qualityofproductsintendedforhumanconsumption andtoexcludefrom
themarketanyproductswhichdonotmeetthestandardslaiddownin
thebasicRegulation.Theprovisionstothiseffectwouldbeadeadletter

financialcompensation orif,havingbeengradedaccordingtothesestan­
dards,productswerestoredandofferedforsaleatalaterdatebutno
longersatisfiedthesamemarketingstandardsatthetimeoftheir
withdrawal.Thismeasurewouldprohibitanymanipulation oftheclassi­
ficationarrangements whenproductsarebeingauctioned.
Againwithaviewtopreventing anyabuse,theCommissionproposesthat
financialcompensation shouldbegrantedonlyinrespectofproductswhich
havebeenofferedforsaleintheusualmannerbuthavefailedtofinda
buyerattheCommunitywithdrawalprice.Otherwise,producers'organizations
mightbetemptedtowithdrawtheirproductsfromthemarketbeforeoffering
themforsale,soastoobtainabetterpricethroughfluctuations insupply
asthesalewastakingplace.Itwouldbewrongforproductswithdrawninthis
waytoqualifyforanyfinancialcompensation .
Clearly,nofinancialcompensation canbegrantedinrespectofproducts
qualifyingforthecarry-over premiumprovidedforinArticle14ofthe
basicRegulation,sincethepurposeofthispremiumistopreventthedes­
tructionofcertainlistedproductswithahighcommercialvalue,subject
tocertainconditions .
Lastly,sincetheamountofthefinancialcompensation iscalculated on
thebasisofthreefactors(quantitiesofferedforsaleineachyear,
quantitieswithdrawn,quantitiesqualifyingforthecarry-overpremium)
whichcannotbedetermineduntiltheendofthefishingyear,nofinancial
compensation canbepaiduntilthen,especiallyasitisalsonecessaryto
ensurethatproducers'organizations whichdidnotobservetheCommunity
withdrawalpricethroughouttheyeardonotqualifyforsuchcompensation .
TheCommissionproposes,however,thatadvancesmaybegrantedsubjectto
thelodgingofasecurity.

IV.Thecarry-over premium
Theessentialpurposeofthecarry-over premiumintroduced byArticle14
ofthebasicRegulation istopreventtheundesirable destruction of
valuableproductswhichcouldbemarketedatalaterstageasprocessed
products.Thismeasureservestoallaytheconcern,frequently expressed
withintheCommunity,overthedenaturing ofproductsintendedforhuman
consumption .
TheCommissioniswellaware,however,ofthedifficulties presentedby
theimplementation ofthisnewmeasure.Itdoesnotruleoutareviewof
theproposedarrangements attheendofatrialperiod.
Forthetimebeing,theCommission proposesthatthecarry-over premium
shouldbegrantedonlyinrespectofproductswhichareknowntobe
marketableafterprocessing andstorageforatleast30dayswithout
creatinganyseriousdisturbance onthemarket.TheCommission wouldalso
pointoutthattheCommunity hasaconsiderable tradingdeficitinthe
demersalspeciesconcerned.Inthecaseofshrimps,theCommission considers
thatthecarry-over premiumshouldhelptofacilitate thedisposalofocca­
sionalsurpluses,intheformoffrozenshrimps,forexample.
Topreventtheformationofstructural surpluses onthemarketforprocessed
products,itisproposedthatasarule,onlytop-quality productsshould
qualifyforthecarry-over premium.Asregardsthesizestobetakeninto
consideration ,theCommission proposesthattheManagement Committeeshould
decideonthismattersinceaccountmustbetakenofallthedistinctive
characteristics ofeachspeciesandthespecificmarketconcerned.
Thecarry-over premiumistobepaidtoproducers' organizations whichhave
themselves processedtheproductsconcernedorwhichhavebeenresponsible
forhavingthemprocessed.Theaimofthisprovisionistopreventspecula­
tiveoperations fromdepressing pricesonthemarketforfreshproducts
andtofacilitate moreeffectivesupervision bytheMemberStates.The
competentauthorities intheMemberStatesmustbeinapositiontoascertain
whetherprocessing andstoragehasactuallytakenplaceinaccordancewith
theconditions laiddown.Thiswillbeeasiertoachieveiftheauthorities
onlyhavetodealwithasinglebody,inthiscasetheproducers'organizations

-7-
Giventhefluctuations affectingthemarketsinthespeciesconcernedand
themarketingrisksinvolved,thecarry-overpremiumcanonlybeeffective
ifitappliesthroughoutthefishingyear.TheCommissionproposes,therefore,
thattheamountofthepremiumshouldbefixedatthebeginningofthefishing
year.
Tothesameend,itisproposedthattheamountofthepremiumshouldbe
determined bytheManagement Committee.Accounthastobetakenofthe
interdependence ofthevarious -markets(bothinfreshandinfrozenproducts)
andofthemarketingconditionspeculiartoeachcase.Inaddition,the
amountofthepremiummustnotexceedthelimitslaiddowninthebasic
Regulationorentailwindfallprofitsforcertainproducers'organizations .
Forthisreason,itisproposedthattheamountofthepremiumshouldbe
calculated onthebasisofthelowesttechnicalprocessing andstorage
costsrecordedintheCommunityduringtheprecedingfishingyear.
Article14ofthebasicRegulationprovidesthatthepremiumshouldbe
grantedonlyinrespectofquantitiesnotexceeding 15%ofthetotal
quantityoftheproductputupforsaleeachyear.Sinceitisnotpossible,
untiltheendofthefishingyear,toascertainwhetherthisconditionhasbeen
fulfilledandwhetherthe15%limithasbeenexceeded,thepremiumcannotbe
paiduntiltheendoftheyearinquestion.However,toavoidexcessive
practicaldifficulties withtheimplementation ofthisprovision,the
Commissionproposesthat,asinthecaseoffinancialcompensation,advances
maybegrantedsubjecttothelodgingofasecurity.
V.Budgetaryaspects
Thebudgetaryaspectsoffinancialcompensation andcarry-overpremiums
weretakenintoconsideration inthedraftingofthenewbasicRegulation.
TheCouncilandtheCommission estimatedthatthesenewmeasureswould
meananincreaseofsome10%intheintervention expenditure oftheEAGGF
GuaranteeSectioninrespectoffisheryproducts.
TheRegulation ontheextensionofproducers'organizations' marketingrules
tonon-memberswillhavenoconsequences fortheCommunityBudget.
