COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2903/2000

of 21 December 2000

fixing the selling prices for the fishery products listed in Annex II to Council Regulation (EC) No
104/2000 for the 2001 fishing year

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 of 17
December 1999 on the common organisation of the markets
in fishery and aquaculture products (1), and in particular Article
25(6) thereof,

(5)

(6)

provided for in Article 25(2) of Regulation (EC) No
104/2000.

Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3611/84 of 20
December 1984 fixing the conversion factors for frozen
squid (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 901/
98 (4), can therefore be repealed.

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

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

(3)

(4)

Under Article 25(1) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000, a
Community selling price is to be fixed for each of the
products listed in Annex II thereto before the beginning
of the fishing year, at a level at least equal to 70 % and
not exceeding 90 % of the guide price.

Council Regulation (EC) No 2764/2000 (2)
fixes the
guide prices for the 2001 fishing year for all the prod-
ucts concerned.

Market prices vary considerably depending on the
species and how the products are presented, particularly
in the case of squid and hake.

Conversion factors must
therefore be fixed for the
different species and presentations of frozen products
landed in the Community in order to determine the
price level that will trigger the intervention measure

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The Community selling prices applicable during the 2001
fishing year for the products listed in Annex II to Regulation
(EC) No 104/2000 and the presentations and conversion
factors to which they relate shall be as indicated in the Annex
hereto.

Article 2

Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3611/84 is hereby repealed.

This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 2001.

Article 3

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

Done at Brussels, 21 December 2000.
