COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2349/2002

of 20 December 2002

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pertaining thereto in respect of fishery products withdrawn from the market during the 2003
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(5) and (8) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

(3)

Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 provides for financial
compensation to be paid to producer organisations
which withdraw, on certain conditions,
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 (EC) No 2493/2001 of 19
December 2001 on the disposal of certain fishery
products which have been withdrawn from the
market (2) specifies the ways of disposing of the products
withdrawn. 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.

Under Article 7 of Commission Regulation (EC) No
2509/2000 of 15 November 2000 laying down detailed
rules for the application of Regulation (EC) No 104/
2000 as regards financial compensation for withdrawal
of certain fishery products (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.

The same method of calculation should be applied 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,

(4)

(5)

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

For the 2002 fishing year, the standard values to be used in
calculating financial compensation and associated advances for
fishery products withdrawn from the market by producer orga-
nisations and intended for purposes other
than human
consumption, as referred to in Article 21(5) of Regulation (EC)
No 104/2000 are set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

Article 2

The standard value to be deducted from financial compensation
and associated advances shall be that applied in the Member
State in which the producer organisation is recognised.

This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 2003.

Article 3

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

Done at Brussels, 20 December 2002.
