            COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 1280/2009
of 22 December 2009
         
fixing the reference prices for certain fishery products for the 2010 fishing year


THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,


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 29(1) and (5) thereof,

Whereas:







(1)


Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 provides that reference prices valid for the EU may be fixed each year, by product category, for products that are the subject of a tariff suspension under Article 28(1). The same holds for products which, by virtue of being either the subject of a binding tariff reduction under the WTO or some other preferential arrangements, must comply with a reference price.












(2)


Pursuant to Article 29(3)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000, the reference price for the products listed in Annex I, Parts A and B to that Regulation, is to be the same as the withdrawal price fixed in accordance with Article 20(1) of that Regulation.












(3)


The EU withdrawal prices for the products concerned are fixed for the 2010 fishing year by Commission Regulation (EU) No 1277/2009 (2).












(4)


Pursuant to Article 29(3)(d) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000, the reference price for products other than those listed in Annexes I and II to that Regulation is to be established in particular on the basis of the weighted average of customs values recorded on the import markets or in the ports of import in the three years immediately preceding the date on which the reference price is fixed.












(5)


There is no need to fix reference prices for those products falling under the criteria laid down in Art. 29(1) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 which are imported from third countries in insignificant volumes.












(6)


The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fishery Products,





HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:



Article 1
The reference prices for the 2010 fishing year of fishery products, as referred to in Article 29 of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000, are set out in the Annex to this Regulation.


Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 January 2010.




This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
Done at Brussels, 22 December 2009.
