COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2899/2000

of 21 December 2000

fixing the standard values to be used in calculating the financial compensation and the advance
pertaining thereto in respect of fishery products withdrawn from the market during the 2001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
21(8) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

(3)

(4)

Article 21 of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 provides for
financial compensation to be paid to producer organ-
isations which intervene, on certain conditions, in the
products listed in Annex I (A) and (B) to that Regulation.
The amount of such financial compensation should be
reduced by standard values in the case of products
intended for purposes other than human consumption.

Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1501/83 of 9 June
1983 on the disposal of certain fishery products which
have been the subject of measures to stabilise the
market (2) specifies the ways in which the products with-
drawn from the market must be disposed of. The value
of such products should be fixed at a standard level for
each of these modes of disposal, taking into account the
average revenues which may be obtained from such
disposal

in the various Member States.

On the basis of relevant
information affecting these
values, they should be fixed for the 2001 fishing year as
shown in the Annex hereto.

Under Article 7 of Commission Regulation (EC) No
2509/2000 of 15 November 2000 setting detailed rules
for the application of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 as
regards financial compensation on certain fishery prod-
ucts (3), special rules provide that, where a producer
organisation or one of its members puts its products up

for sale in a Member State other than the country in
which it is recognised, the body responsible for granting
the financial compensation must be informed. This body
is the one in the Member State in which the producer
organisation is recognised. The standard value deductible
should therefore be the value applied in that Member
State.

(5)

(6)

The above provisions apply equally to advances on
financial compensation as provided for in Article 6 of
Regulation (EC) No 2509/2000.

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

In the 2001 fishing year, the standard values to be used in
calculating financial compensation and associated advances for
products withdrawn from the market by producer organ-
isations, intended for purposes other than human consump-
tion, are hereby fixed as set out in the Annex hereto for each of
the uses indicated.

Article 2

The standard value to be deducted from financial compensa-
tion and associated advances shall be that applied in the
Member State in which the producer organisation is recog-
nised.

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.
