CONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL 

•  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  2010.  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  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  decreases 
between -1% and -6% for whitefish and crustacean species; for increases between +1% 
and  +3%  for  pelagic  species  such  as  sardines  and  albacore,  as  well  as  reductions 
between -1% and -4% for herring, mackerel, Spanish mackerel and anchovies. In the 
field of frozen products, the proposal reflects increases between +1% and +2% for hake 
and  prawns,  and  reductions  between  -1%  and  -4%  for  Greenland  halibut,  sea  bream, 
cuttlefish,  octopus  and  squids.  Finally,  the  proposal  is  for  decreasing  the  Community 
producer price for tuna products by -4%.

•  Existing provisions in the area of the proposal 

Council  Regulation  (EC)  No  1299/2008  fixing  for  the  2009  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

CONSULTATION OF INTERESTED PARTIES AND IMPACT ASSESSMENT 

•  Consultation of interested parties 

211 

212 

221 

222 

223 

Consultation methods, main sectors targeted and general profile of respondents 

The  Management  Committee  for  Fishery  Products  and  the  Advisory  Committee  on 
Fisheries and Aquaculture. 

Summary of responses and how they have been taken into account 

Both  Committees  expressed  largely  concurrent  views  with  the  Commission's  market 
analysis. 

•  Collection and use of expertise 

Scientific/expertise domains concerned 

Markets in fishery products. 

Methodology used 

Open consultation. 

Main organisations/experts consulted 

Experts  representing  the  Member  States  at  the  Management  Committee  for  Fishery 
Products.  Experts  representing  all  major  groups  of  EU  stakeholders  at  the  Advisory 
Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture.

Summary of advice received and used 

225 

226 

230 

The existence of potentially serious risks with irreversible consequences has not been 
mentionned. 

Advices  are  usually  reflected  in  the  proposal  fixing  the  guide  prices  and  Community 
producer prices. 

Means used to make the expert advice publicly available 

Minutes of the meetings of the Management Committee for Fishery Products and the 
Advisory Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture. 

•  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. 

EN 

3 

   EN 

 
 
 
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. 

LEGAL ELEMENTS OF THE PROPOSAL 

•  Summary of the proposed action 

Proposal for a Council Regulation fixing for the 2010 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 
the  relevant  actors  (producer 
intervention  mechanisms  but  forces  none  of 
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 
on a qualified majority on a proposal from the Commission. A regulation is required to 
ensure direct applicability and uniformity throughout the Community. 

BUDGETARY IMPLICATION 

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.

Proposal for a 

COUNCIL REGULATION 

fixing for the 2010 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  guide 
prices and Community producer prices 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 prices 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 2010 fishing year depending 
on the species. 

Article  26(1)  of  Regulation  (EC)  No  104/2000  requires  the  Community  producer 
prices  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  prices  for  the  others  by  means  of  the  conversion 
factors  established  by  Commission  Regulation  (EC)  No  802/2006  of  30  May  2006 
fixing the conversion factors applicable to fish of the genera Thunnus and Euthynnus2.

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 2010, all regulations should be adopted before the end of 2009.

Relevant comments: 

As  of  16  October  2006,  the  measures  financed  under  the  budget  heading 
11.02.01  are  implemented  in  a  centralised  manner  pursuant  to  Council 
Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 on the financing of the common agricultural 
policy. Furthermore, the management of data notified by the Member States 
in  accordance  with  Commission  Regulation  (EC)  No  248/2009  is  the  sole 
responsibility of the Commission.

MONITORING AND EVALUATION 

6.1.  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 248/2009. 

6.2. 

Evaluation 

6.2.1.  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. 

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

learned from similar experiences in the past) 

An external evaluation of the financial and non-financial instruments of the 
common  organisation  of  the  markets  in  fishery  and  aquaculture  products, 
including the intervention mechanisms, as well as a study on the supply and 
marketing  of  fishery  and  aquaculture  products  in  the  EU  have  been 
completed in 2009. The results of these studies form the basis for the revision 
of the common market organisation. 

6.2.3.  Terms and frequency of future evaluation 

A  study  on  the  analysis  of  possible  scenarios  for  a  reform  of  the  common 
market organisation is being launched.
