EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 

1)  CONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL 

110 

•  Grounds for and objectives of the proposal 

The  immediate  objective  of  this  proposal  is  to  enable  the  Council  to  discharge  its 
regulatory obligation to determine the guide prices and the Community producer price 
for  the  fishing  year  2006.  The  wider  objective  of  this  proposal  is  thus  to  ensure  the 
functioning  of  the  price  support  and  intervention  mechanisms  laid  down  in  Council 
Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 during the fishing year in question. 

120 

•  General context 

Council  Regulation  (EC)  No  104/2000  establishes  a  Common  Organisation  of  the 
Markets in Fishery and Aquaculture Products, which pertains to the market- and trade-
related aspects of the Common Fisheries Policy and thus also serves to implement the 
objectives enshrined in Article 33 of the Treaty. Specific price support and intervention 
mechanisms are one important component of the Common Market Organisation. In this 
context,  Articles  18  and  26  of  the  said  regulation  obligates  the  Council  to  fix,  by 
qualified majority, upon a proposal from the Commission and before the beginning of 
the  year,  both  the  guide  prices  for  a  specified  number  of  fishery  products  of 
Community  importance  as  well  as  the  Community  producer  price  for  specified  tuna 
products.  The  guide  prices  form  the  reference  for  the  subsequent  fixing,  by  way  of 
Commission regulations, of the different technical parameters needed for the operation 
of the intervention mechanisms. The Community producer price is of relevance for the 
compensatory allowance for tuna delivered to the processing industry, which might be 
triggered when prices on the world markets fall below a specified trigger level.  

Pursuant  to  Council  Regulation  (EC)  No  104/2000,  the  relevant  prices  shall  follow 
both the development of market prices during the three preceding fishing years as well 
as  trends  in  production  and  demand.  In  line  with  that,  the  proposal  is  for  increases 
between  +0.5  and  +1.5%  for  the  majority  of  white  fish  species  such  as  cod  and 
haddock, for similar decreases for other white fish species such as redfish and saithe, 
for increases between +2 and +3% for herring, mackerel and anchovies and decreases 
between  -1  and  -3%  for  sardines,  Spanish  mackerel  and  albacore  and  for  minor 
decreases for crustaceans. In the fields of frozen products, the proposal mainly reflects 
decreasing prices on the international markets except that increases between +0.5 and 
+2%  can  be  proposed  for  swordfish,  ilex  and  prawns.  Finally,  the  proposal  is  for 
maintaining the Community producer price for tuna products at its current level. 

130 

•  Existing provisions in the area of the proposal 

Council  Regulation  (EC)  No  2132/2004  fixing  for  the  2005  fishing  year  the  guide 
prices  and  Community  producer  prices  for  certain  fishery  products  pursuant  to 
Regulation (EC) No 104/2000.

•  Consistency with the other policies and objectives of the Union 

The  functioning  of  the  Common  Market  Organisation  set  up  by  Council  Regulation 
(EC)  No  104/2000  and  the  discharge  of  the  regulatory  obligations  pertaining  thereto 
also serve to implement the objectives enshrined in Article 33 of the Treaty.

•  Impact assessment 

Considering  the  specific  nature  of  the  proposal,  namely  the  annual  determination  of 
relevant  prices  pursuant  to  the  provisos  of  the  Common  Market  Organisation  in  its 
present version, an impact assessment is not required. 

The  proposal  is  nevertheless  based  on  a  regular  monitoring  on  interventions  in  the 
preceding fishing years and a thorough analysis of the market situation for each one of 
the relevant fishery products.

3)  LEGAL ELEMENTS OF THE PROPOSAL 

•  Summary of the proposed action 

Proposal for a Council Regulation fixing for the 2006 fishing year the guide prices and 
Community producer prices for certain fishery products. 

•  Legal basis 

Articles 18(3) and 26(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 104/2000. 

•  Subsidiarity principle 

The proposal falls under the exclusive competence of the Community. The subsidiarity 
principle therefore does not apply. 

•  Proportionality principle 

The proposal complies with the proportionality principle for the following reason(s): 

The  attainment  of  the  Single  Market  in  the  field  of  fisheries  products  requires  the 
fixation  of  guide  prices.  The  Common  Market  Organisation  provides  for  specific 
intervention  mechanisms  but  forces  none  of 
the  relevant  actors  (producer 
organisations) to have recourse to intervention. 

The Common Market Organisation has considerably decreased both the attractiveness 
of  intervention  in  the  form  of  wasteful  withdrawals  as  well  as  the  corresponding 
financial means. 

•  Choice of instruments 

Proposed instruments: regulation. 

Other means would not be adequate for the following reason(s). 

The guide prices and Community producer prices shall be fixed by the Council acting 
by qualified majority on a proposal from the Commission. A regulation is required to 
ensure direct applicability and uniformity throughout the Community.

4)  BUDGETARY IMPLICATION 

401 

Since  this  is  a  price-fixing  exercise,  the  impact  on  expenditure  is  indirect  and  will 
largely  depend  on  developments  in  the  market  situation  and  on  quantities  of  fishery 
products landed.

COUNCIL REGULATION 

fixing for the 2006 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:

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 2006 fishing year depending 
on the species. 

Article 26(1) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 requires the Community producer price 
to be fixed for the products listed in Annex III to that Regulation. It is appropriate to 
establish  the  Community  producer  price  for  one  of  those  products  and  calculate  the 
Community  producer  price  for  the  others  by  means  of  the  conversion  factors 
established by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3510/822. 

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 2006 fishing year should be adjusted,

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.  

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 
2006, all regulations should be adopted before the end of 2005.

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, 
is  based  on  regular  monitoring  of 
interventions in previous fishing years and thorough analysis of the market situation 
for the relevant products. 

the  Commission  proposal 

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 

While a factual implementation report is due to be submitted pursuant to Article 41 of 
Council Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 by 31 December 2005, an overall evaluation of 
the different mechanisms foreseen in the Common Market Organisation in its current 
version will be conducted in accordance with the Financial Regulation in 2006. 

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.
