have been the subject of measures to stabilise the
market (3) specifies the ways in which the products with-

must be fixed at a standard level for each of these modes
of disposal, taking into account the average receipts
which may be obtained from such disposal
in the

On the basis of the relevant information on this value, it
should be fixed for the 2000 fishing year as shown in

puts its products up for sale in a Member State other
than in which it is recognised the body responsible for
granting the financial compensation is informed. The
aformentioned body is that of the Member State in
which the producers' organisation was recognised. The
standard value deductable should therefore be the value
applied in that Member State.

indicated therein.
