COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 584/2001

of 26 March 2001

amending Regulations (EC) No 1103/2000 and (EC) No 1926/2000 providing for the granting of
compensation to producers' organisations in respect of tuna delivered to the processing industry
from 1 July to 30 September 1999 and from 1 October to 31 December 1999

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 market in
fishery and aquaculture products (1), and in particular Article
27(6) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

(3)

Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 replaced Council Regula-
tion (EEC) No 3759/92 of 17 December 1992 on the
common organisation of the market in fishery and aqua-
culture products (2) with effect from 1 January 2001.
Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 provides for
an allowance to be granted to producers' organisations
in respect of tuna delivered to the processing industry,
which was formerly provided for in Article 18 of Regu-
lation (EEC) No 3759/92.

By Commission Regulations (EC) No 1103/2000 (3) and
(EC) No 1926/2000 (4), the allowance provided for in
Article 18 of Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 was granted
respectively from 1 July to 30 September and from 1
October to 31 December 1999 to producer organ-
isations in respect of yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares)
weighing more
than 10 kg each, yellowfin tuna
(Thunnus albacares) not weighing more than 10 kg each
and skipjack or stripe-bellied bonito (Euthynnus (Katsu-
wonus) pelamis).

According to the Spanish authorities, some members of
the producer organisation OPTUC (Organización de
Productores de Túnidos Congelados) withdrew their
membership in June 1998 and became members of the
producer organisation Opagac (Organización de Produc-
tores Asociados de Grandes Atuneros Congeladores de
España). On 16 October 2000 the Spanish authorities
provided the Commission with final data concerning the

quantities of tuna that were sold and delivered to the
processing industry by the members of the concerned
producer organisations in the period from 1 July 1995
until 30 June 1998. These final data modified the data
sent to the Commission on 30 July 1998 following the
change of enterprises and vessels from OPTUC to
Opagac.

(4)

(5)

(6)

The data provided by the Spanish authorities do affect
the allocation of quantities eligible for compensation
among the two producer organisations concerned for
the periods from 1 July to 30 September 1999 and from
1 October to 31 December 1999 as laid down respec-
tively in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1103/2000
and in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1926/2000.

Regulations (EC) No 1103/2000 and (EC) No 1926/
2000 should therefore be amended accordingly.

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