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
December 1992 on the common organisation of the market in

Article 22(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 provides,
among other things, for reference prices valid for the
Community to be fixed each year, by product category,
for the products specified in Annexes I, II, III, IV(B) and
V to that Regulation, subject to the consultation proced-
ures laid down for certain products within the frame-
work of the GATT.

Article 23(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 provides,
inter alia, for the fixing of reference prices for the prod-
ucts referred to in Annex IV(A) before the beginning of
each marketing year.

Article 22(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 provides
that the reference price for the products specified in
Annex I(A), (D) and (E) thereto must be equal, respec-
tively,
to the withdrawal and selling prices fixed in
accordance with Article 11(1) and Article 13 thereof.

The Community withdrawal and selling prices for the
products concerned were fixed for the 2000 fishing year
by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2802/1999 (3).

for

the products

The reference prices
specified in
Annexes I(B) and (C) and IV(B) to Regulation (EEC) No
3759/92 are determined on the basis of the average of
the reference prices for the fresh product, account being
taken of the processing costs and of the need to ensure a
price relationship in keeping with the market situation.

The reference prices for the products specified in Annex
II to Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 must be derived
from their guide prices, referred to in Article 9(1) of that
Regulation, by reference to the price level at which the
intervention measures provided for in Article 16(1)
thereof may be taken, and fixed taking account of the
situation on the market in those products.

(8)

(9)

The reference prices for the fishes of the Thunnus and
Euthynnus species specified in Annex III to Regulation
(EEC) No 3759/92 are based on the weighted average of
the free-at-frontier prices recorded on the most repres-
entative markets in the Member States during the three
preceding years.

the average of

For the carp and salmon referred to in Annex IV(A) to
Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92, reference prices are fixed
on the basis of
the producer prices
recorded during the three years preceding the date on
which the reference price is fixed for a product with
commercial characteristics as set out in Commission
Regulation (EEC) No 2210/93 (4), as last amended by
Regulation (EC) No 843/95 (5).

For the frozen and salted products specified in Annex V
to Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 the reference price
shall be determined on the basis of the average reference
price for the fresh product, taking into account the
processing costs and the market situation. If there is no
reference price fixed for the fresh product, the reference
prices are determined on the basis of the reference price
applied to a
fresh product.
commercially similar
However, given the quantities of certain frozen and
salted products and the conditions governing their
importation, it does not appear possible to fix a refer-
ence price for all of these products in the immediate
future.

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in
accordance with the opinion of
the Management
Committee for fishery products,
