COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2802/1999

of 22 December 1999

fixing, for the 2000 fishing year, the withdrawal and selling prices for fishery products listed in
Annex I(A)(D) and (E) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

(5)

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

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
fishery and aquaculture products (1), as last amended by Regu-
lation (EC) No 3318/94 (2), and in particular Article 11(3) and
Article 13 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

(3)

Article 11(1) and Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No
3759/92 provide that the Community withdrawal and
selling prices for each of the products listed, respectively,
in Annex I(A), (D) and in Annex I(E) shall be fixed on
the basis of the freshness, size or weight and the presen-
tation of the product by applying the conversion factor
for the product category concerned to an amount equal
to at least 70 % but not more than 90 % of the relevant
guide price.

Article 11(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 provides
that the withdrawal price may be multiplied by conver-
sion factors in landing areas which are very distant from
main centres of consumption in the Community.

Article 6(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 2406/96 of
26 November 1996 laying down common marketing
standards for certain fishery products (3), as last amended
by Commission Regulation (EC) No 323/97 (4), provides
that when a lot is placed in category B, that lot is
ineligible for the financial assistance granted in respect
of intervention from 1 January 2000. Therefore, with-
drawal prices for ‘B’ quality products need no longer be
fixed.

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The percentages of the guide price which are used as a basis for
calculating the Community withdrawal and selling prices shall
be as shown in Annex I for the products concerned.

Article 2

The conversion factors which are used for calculating the
Community withdrawal and selling prices for the products
listed, respectively, in Annex I(A) and (D) and in Annex I(E) to
Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 shall be as shown in Annex II.

Article 3

The Community withdrawal and selling prices applicable for
the 2000 fishing year and the products to which they refer
shall be as shown in Annex III.

Article 4

The withdrawal prices applicable for the 2000 fishing year in
the landing areas which are very distant from the main centres
of consumption in the Community and the products to which
those prices relate, shall be as shown in Annex IV.

(4)

The guide prices for the 2000 fishing year were fixed for
all the products in question by Council Regulation (EC)
No 2746/1999 (5).

Article 5

This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 2000.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Done at Brussels, 22 December 1999.
