common organisation of the market in fishery and aqua-

yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) weighing more than
10 kg each, yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) weighing
not more than 10 kg each and skipjack or stripe-bellied
bonito (Euthynnus (Katsuwonus) pelamis) were lower than
91 % of the Community producer price in force, as laid
down in Council Regulation (EC) No 2748/1999 (3).

The conditions laid down by Regulation (EEC) No 3759/
92 should be retained in order to take a decision on
granting the compensatory allowance on the products in
question for the period 1 April to 30 June 2000.

Entitlement to the compensatory allowance should be
determined on the basis of sales covered by invoices
bearing a date falling within the quarter concerned and
which have been used to calculate the average monthly
selling price referred to in Article 7(1)(b) of Commission
Regulation (EEC) No 2210/93 (4), which was repealed

(4) OJ L 197, 6.8.1993, p. 8.

case exceed either the difference between the triggering
threshold and the average selling price of the product in
question on the Community market or a flat-rate
amount equivalent to 12 % of that threshold.

(7)

The quantities on which compensation as provided for
in Article 18(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 is
payable may under no circumstances exceed the limits
laid down in paragraph 3 of that Article for the quarter
concerned.

In accordance with the ceilings laid down in Article
18(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 for the purpose
of calculating the allowance to be granted to each
the quantities on which the
