of 9 November 1999

amending Regulation (EC) No 1282/1999 providing for the granting of compensation to producers'
organisations in respect of tuna delivered to the processing industry from 1 October to 31

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 of 17

(2)

Under Commission Regulation (EC) No 1282/1999 (3),
the allowance provided for in Article 18 of Regulation
(EEC) No 3759/92 was granted from 1 October to 31
December 1998 to certain producers' organisations in
respect of albacore and skipjack tuna. The term ‘patudo’
in the Spanish language version of
that Regulation
published in the Official Journal of the European Communi-
ties is wrong and must be replaced by ‘atún blanco’.
Since this mistake was not immediately obvious to the
economic operators concerned, the Regulation in ques-
tion should be corrected.

Furthermore, pursuant
to Article 6 of Commission
Regulation (EC) No 142/98 of 21 January 1998 laying
down detailed rules for granting the compensatory
allowances

industry (4), applications for payment of the allowance
must be submitted by the producers' organisations
concerned to the competent authorities not later than
45 days after the entry into force of the Regulation
concerned, i.e. 6 August 1999. However, owing to the

inconspicuous mistake in the Spanish language version
of Regulation (EC) No 1282/1999, some operators may
not have submitted applications for payment of

into force of
this Regulation should accordingly be
allowed to run in cases where the producers' organ-
isations concerned have not yet submitted applications
for payment of the allowance.
