COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 2563/2001

of 19 December 2001

fixing for the 2002 fishing year the guide prices for the fishery products listed in Annexes I and II
and the Community producer price for the fishery products listed in Annex III to Regulation (EC)
No 104/2000

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

(5)

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
Articles 18(3) and 26(1) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

(3)

(4)

Article 18(1) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 requires a
guide price to be fixed for each fishing year for each of
the products and groups of products listed in Annexes I
and II to that Regulation.

On the basis of the data currently available on the prices
for the products concerned and the criteria referred to in
Article 18(2) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000, those
prices should be increased, maintained or reduced for
the 2002 fishing year depending on the species.

Article 26(1) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 requires a
Community producer price to be fixed for each of the
products listed in Annex III to that Regulation.

Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3510/82 (2) fixes the
conversion factors applicable to different species of tuna.
It is therefore not necessary for Community producer
prices to be fixed for all species of tuna listed in Annex
III
to Regulation (EC) No 104/2000, but only for
yellow-fin tuna (Thunnus albacares).

On the basis of the criteria laid down in the first and
second indents of Article 18(2) and in Article 26(1) of
Regulation (EC) No 104/2002, the Community producer
price for the 2002 fishing year should be maintained,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The guide prices for the fishing year from 1 January to 31
December 2002 for the products listed in Annexes I and II to
Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 and for the presentations and
commercial categories to which they relate shall be as set out
in the Annex hereto.

Article 2

The Community producer price for yellow-fin tuna (Thunnus
albacares) for the fishing year from 1 January to 31 December
2002 is hereby fixed as follows:
