199 3 fiehing year in accorde^.... ; with Article 9 of Regulation (EEC)

Proposal 
for a Council Regulation (EEC) 
amending Regulation (EEC) No 3742/92 fixing the guide prices 
for the fishery products listed in Annex 1(A), (D) and (E) 
to Regulation (EEC) No 3687/91 for the 1993 fishing year

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, 
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^, 
and in particular Article 9(3) thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 reforms certain mechanisms of the common 
organization of the market in fishery products and introduces new products 
eligible for measures under those mechanisms; whereas the application of the 
said mechanisms requires the guide prices for the new products concerned to 
be fixed in accordance with Article 9(1) and (2) of that Regulation; 
Whereas Regulations (EEC) No 3724/922 and No 372S/923 of 3 December 1992 
fixed the guide prices for the 1993 fishing year for the fishery products 
covered by the common organization of the market before the entry into force 
of Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 and must therefore be amended to include the 
guide prices fixed for the new products,

YES 
6.1 CAN THE PROJECT BE FINANCED BY TRANSFER BETWEEN CHAPTERS OF THE CURRENT BUDGET ? 
6.2 WILL A SUPPLEMENTARY BUDGET BE NECESSARY ? 
6.3 WILL FUTURE BUDGET APPROPRIATIONS BE NECESSARY ? NO 
YES 
COMMENTS : 
Since this is a price fixing exercise, the impact on expenditure is indirect. The expenditure concerned 
depends greatly on market trends and quantities landed. In addition, the budget estimate for the 1993 
fishing year had already taken account of the new products and any measures connected with these products 
will not entail additional expenditure.
