EXFLANATORY MEMORANDUM ,
Themarket forfrozen products listed inAnnex III(A)andAnnex IV(B)of
Regulation (EEC)n°2142/70concerns thecommon organization ofthemarket
inthefishery products sector ,which isinserious economic difficulties *
Inorder toovercome these difficulties }itisnecessary that measures betaken ,
"both inthelong andtheshort term .TheCommission has ,therefore ,recently
fixed export restitutions forcertain products (frozen codfillets andfillets
offresh saithe ),andwill determine thereference price foralltheproducts
ofAnnex IV(B)inthecourse ofthis month .
Nevertheless ,asmuch formotives ofpolicy asforeconomic reasons ,itis
necessary toputinto force notonly measures atthefrontier ,"butequally at
theinternal level .These measures should take theform ofaids toprivate
storage .Itisopportune toallow for-andinorder toavoid aninopportune
discharge from stock ,andinconsequence anetdecrease incertain frozen
products -thepossibility ofaccording toproducers aidB toprivate storage
forproducts ofCommunity origin .
Thepresent situation could equally well occur infuture years ,andanaddi­
tion tothe "basic regulation insofarasitconcerns aids toprivate storage
forfishery products listed inAnnex IV(B)ofRegulation (EEC)n°2142/70
seems therefore tobejustified .
Thecriteria which could beused indetermining thegranting ofsuch aids areto
befound equally inthedevelopment ofprices andofquantities stocked onthe
Community markets asontheexpectation ofoutlets andnettendencies towards
thelowering ofprices ontheworld market .
