Proposal  for a 

COUNCIL REGULATION  (EC) 

amending Regulation  (EC) No 3136/94 fixing  the  guide prices  for the fishery  products  listed  in Annex I 

(A),  (D) and (E) of Regulation  (EEC) No 3759/92 for the  1995 fishing  year 

(presented by the Commission) 

EXPLANATORY MBVQ14NDCM 

Council  Regulation  (EEQ  No  3759/92  of  17  December  1992  on  the  common 

organization of the market in fishery and aquaculture products covers a new species, 

included in particular in the list of eligible products in Annex I thereto, as a result of the 

review of the organization in the wake of the enlargement of the European Union.  ~ 

The guide price must accordingly be fixed for that product for the 1995 fishing year in 

accordance with Article 9 of Regulation (EEQ No 3759/92 and to that end Regulation 

(EQ No 3136/94, which fixes the prices for products already covered by the common 

organization of the market before the entry into force of the review, must be amended 

accordingly. 

In addition, since the amended version of Regulation (EEQ No 3759/92 came into force 

on  1 January  1995, from that date producer  organizations  qualify  under  the market 

measures  relating  to  the  new product  concerned.  The proposed  Regulation  should 

accordingly apply from 1 January 1995. 

This proposal for a Council Regulation amending Regulation (EQ No 3136/94 sets out 

to achieve that aim 

This  proposal  has  no  direct financial impact  on  the  Community  budget  (financial 

statement appended).

(A), (D) and (E) of Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 for the 1995 fishing year 

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, 

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 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 products1, as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3318/942, and 
in particular Article 9 (3) thereof 

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 of 28 December  1992 on the unit of account and 
the conversion rates to be applied for the purposes of the common agricultural policy3, as last amended by 
Regulation (EC) No 150/95 of 30 January  19954, and in particular Article  12 and Article  13 (1) thereof, 

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 

Whereas the aim of Article  1 (10) of Regulation (EC) No 3318/94 was in particular to introduce a new 

product eligible under the intervention mechanisms of the common organization of the market;  whereas the 

application of those mechanisms calls for the 

fixing  of  a  guide  price  for  the  new  product  concerned  in  accordance  with  Article  9  (1)  and  (2)  of 

Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92; 

Whereas, moreover, there no longer appears to be any justification  for  maintaining two guide prices  for 

herrings for the  1995 fishing year; 

Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 3136/94 of  15 December  19945 fixes the guide prices for the 1995 
fishing  year for the fishery products covered by the common organization of the market before the entry into 

OJ No L 388, 31.12.1992, p.l. 
OJNoL350,  31.12.1994, p. 15. 
OJ No L 387, 31.12.1992, p. 1. 
OJ No L 22, 30.1.1995, p. 1. 
OJ No L 332, 22.12.1994,  p.4. 

force of Regulation (EC) No 3318/94;  whereas it must accordingly be amended to include the guide price 

for  the new product  and the single guide price for herrings; 

Whereas the entry into force of the amendment to Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 on  1  January  1995 entitles 

the producer organizations to the Community contribution for intervention on the market relating to the new 

product as from that date;  whereas provision should accordingly be made for this Regulation to apply from 

1 January  1995; 

Whereas the operative events for the conversion rates to be applied for the calculation of certain  amounts 

under the common organization of the market in fishery products are determined by Commission Regulation 
(EC)  No  3516/936;  whereas,  as  a  result,  the  relevant  agricultural  conversion  rate  for  the  period  1 to 31 

January  1995 is to be multiplied by the correcting factor  1,207509;  whereas the guide prices for that period 

must be fixed accordingly, 

HAS ADOPTED THIS  REGULATION:

Point  1  of the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 3136/94 is hereby replaced by that set out in the Annex

OBSERVATIONS 

Since the fixing of prices  is concerned, the impact on expenditure  is indirect.  The  expenditure 
concerned  depends  largely on the market trend  and the quantities  landed.  In addition, the budget 
estimate for  the  1995 fishing  year took account of the new product and any measures  connected 
with the  latter will  not entail  additional  expenditure.
