COUNCIL REGULATION 

fixing for the 2005 fishing year the guide prices and Community producer prices for 
certain fishery products pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 104/2000

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 

Article  18  of  Regulation  (EC)  No  104/2000  on  the  common  organisation  of  the  markets  in 
fishery  and  aquaculture  products  requires  a  guide  price  to  be  fixed  for  each  of  the  products 
listed in Annex I and each of the products and groups of products listed in Annex II thereto. 
The  calculation  is  made  on  the  basis  of  the  average  of  prices  recorded  for  a  significant 
proportion  of  Community  output  on  wholesale  markets  or  in  ports  during  the  three  fishing 
years immediately preceding the year for which the price is fixed. 

When fixing those prices, account is also taken of trends in production and demand and other 
factors such as the need to ensure  stable  market prices  and support producers’ incomes and 
the interests of consumers. 

Compared  with  the  period  2001-2003,  average  prices  for  white  fish  have  fallen  over  the 
period 2002-2004, with decreases of between -2% and -10% for most species. During the first 
half  of  2004,  prices  for  white  fish  were  generally  lower  than  during  the  same  period  of  the 
previous  year.  In  the  light  of  this  unfavourable  market  situation,  the  Commission  proposes 
decreases in the guide prices for most species of white fish of between –0.5% and -3%. On 
the  other  hand,  the  Commission  recommends  slight  increases  of  +0.5%  and  +1.5%  for 
megrim  and  whiting.  It  is  also  proposed  maintaining  the  price  for  spotted  dogfish,  plaice, 
hake, dab and common flounder at its current level. 

As regards pelagic species, the change in average prices over 2002-2004 compared to 2001-
2003 ranged from -8% to +10% for most products. While prices for mackerel and anchovies 
have  been  increasing,  the  situation  for  herring,  Spanish  mackerel  and  albacore  has 
deteriorated. The Commission is therefore proposing increases of +1.5% and +2% (mackerel 
and  anchovies)  and  decreases  between  –1%  and  -3%  (herring,  whole  albacore  and  Spanish 
mackerel).  The  Commission  also  proposes  maintaining  the  prices  for  sardines  and  gutted 
albacore. 

As regards other species, in particular crustaceans, the recent market situation has been less 
favourable. The Commission, therefore, proposes decreases in the corresponding prices.  

Prices  for  frozen  products  have  tended  to  decrease  on  the  international  markets  with  the 
exception of sea bream and illex, for which the Commission proposes increases between +1% 
and  +1,5%.  The  Commission  also  proposes  maintaining  current  guide  prices  for  Greenland 
halibut, hake fillets, swordfish, squids (Loligo) and common squids.  

Furthermore,  Article  26  of  Council  Regulation  (EC)  No  104/2000  requires  a  Community 
producer price to be fixed for tuna intended for the canning industry. The calculation is made 
on  the  basis  of  the  average  of  prices  recorded  for  a  significant  proportion  of  Community 
output on wholesale markets or in ports during the three fishing years immediately preceding 
the year for which the price is fixed. 

The average Community price fell in the period 2002-2004 compared with 2001-2003. This 
trend  persisted  in  the  first  six  months  of  2004.  In  the  light  of  this  market  situation,  the 
Commission proposes a 2% reduction in the Community producer price for 2005.

Proposal for a  

COUNCIL REGULATION 

fixing for the 2005 fishing year the guide prices and Community producer prices for 
certain fishery products pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, 

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 products1, and in particular Article 18(3) 
and Article 26(1) thereof, 

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 

Whereas: 

(1) 

(2) 

(3) 

(4) 

Article 18(1) and Article 26(1) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 provide that a guide 
price and a Community producer price should be fixed for each fishing year in order to 
determine price levels for intervention on the market for certain fisheries products. 

Article 18(1) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 requires the guide price to be fixed 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, the guide 
prices should be increased, maintained or reduced for the 2005 fishing year depending 
on the species. 

Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 requires the Community producer price to be fixed for 
each of the products listed in Annex III to that Regulation. It is, however, sufficient to 
establish  the  Community  producer  price  for  only  one  of  the  products  listed  in 
Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 since the prices for the other products may 
be  calculated  by  means  of  the  conversion  factors  established  by  Commission 
Regulation (EEC) No 3510/822. 

(5) 

On the basis of the criteria laid down in the first and second indent of Article 18(2) and 
in Article 26(1) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000, the Community producer price for the 
2005 fishing year should be reduced,

5.  CHARACTERISTICS AND OBJECTIVES 

5.1. Need to be met in the short or long term 

The interventions concerning fishery products are carried out under the Common 
Fisheries Policy (CFP) in accordance with Article 34 of the Treaty. They aim at 
providing  stability  to  the  Community  markets  by  preventing  possible  risks  of 
crisis.  In  this  context,  appropriate  price  and  supply  policies  are  of  utmost 
importance.  The  interest  of  the  production  and  marketing  chain  and  the  need  to 
strengthen the competitiveness of the sector in a context of globalisation must be 
taken into account. The objective of market stability together with the support to 
producers’ income can essentially be achieved through the different mechanisms 
of  intervention  on  the  markets,  e.g.  withdrawals,  carry-over,  compensatory 
allowance. The interest of the consumers must also be considered.  

11 

Additional  columns  should  be  added  if  necessary  i.e.  if  the  duration  of  the  action  exceeds 
6 years

5.2. Value-added of Community involvement and coherence of the proposal with 

other financial instruments and possible synergy 

The  question  of  subsidiarity  is  not  relevant  to  this  proposal  since  Community 
intervention  falls  within  the  exclusive  competence  of  the  Community.  The  added 
value of Community intervention is directly related to the underlying arguments of 
the existence of a common organisation of the markets in fishery and aquaculture 
products. 

5.3. Objectives, expected results and related indicators of the proposal in the 

context of the ABM framework 

This proposal aims at the fixation of guide prices and Community producer price 
by the Council in accordance with Articles 18 and 26 of Council Regulation (EC) 
No 104/2000. The guide prices provide the basis for the subsequent fixing, by way 
of Commission Regulations, of the different parameters needed for the operation 
of  the  intervention  mechanisms  for  the  fishing  year  concerned.  Similarly,  the 
Community  producer  price  forms  the  basis  of  the  granting  of  the  compensatory 
allowance  for  tuna  which  might  be  triggered  depending  on  the  development  of 
prices on the world markets.  

In  order  to  ensure  the  proper  functioning  of  the  common  organisation  of  the 
markets in 2005, all regulations should be adopted before the end of 2004.

Relevant comments: 

Most measures financed under the budget heading 11.02.01 are implemented 
in shared management with the EU Member States. However, the management 
of  data  notified  by  the  Member  States  in  accordance  with  Commission 
Regulation (EC) No 80/2001 is the sole responsibility of the Commission. 

MONITORING AND EVALUATION 

5.5. Monitoring system 

The monitoring of the envisaged measures is ensured through the collection and 
the analysis of data notified by the Member States by way of the FIDES system in 
accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 80/2001. 

5.6. Evaluation 

5.6.1.  Ex-ante evaluation 

Considering the specific nature of the proposal, namely the annual fixation of 
certain  Community  prices  within  the  framework  of  the  current  common 
organisation of the markets for fishery and aquaculture products, an ex-ante 
evaluation  as  defined  in  Article  21  (1)  of  Commission  Regulation  (EC, 
Euratom) No 2342/2002 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of 
the  Financial  Regulation  is  not  required.  Nevertheless,  the  Commission 
proposal  is  based  on  regular  monitoring  of  interventions  in  previous  fishing 
years and thorough analysis of the market situation for the relevant products. 

5.6.2.  Measures taken following an intermediate/ex-post evaluation (lessons 

learned from similar experiences in the past) 

Not relevant since the intervention measures for fishery products have not yet 
been subject to intermediary or ex-post evaluation. 

5.6.3.  Terms and frequency of future evaluation 

In  accordance  with  Article  41  of  Council  Regulation  (EC)  No  104/2000,  the 
Commission  shall  submit  by  31  December  2005  to  the  Council  and  to  the 
Parliament an evaluation report on the implementation of this Regulation. 

6.  ANTI-FRAUD MEASURES  

The  anti-fraud  measures  are  in  conformity  with  the  provisions  laid  down  in 
Regulation  (CE)  No  104/2000  and,  in  particular,  with  the  provisions  laid  down  in 
Regulation  (EEC)  No 595/91  concerning  irregularities  and  the  recovery  of  sums 
wrongly paid.
