EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 

(1) 

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 2011. 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. 

•  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 39 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. Specific price support and 
intervention mechanisms are one important component of the Common Market Organisation. 
In this context, Article 43(3) of the Treaty obliges the Council to adopt, upon a proposal from 
the  Commission,  measures  on  the  fixing  of  prices.  This  concerns  the  guide  prices  for  a 
specified number of fishery products of EU 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 -3% 
for most whitefish species; for increases between +1% and +2% for pelagic species such as 
mackerel, Spanish mackerel and whole albacore, as well as reductions between -0.5% and -
2% for herring, sardines, anchovies and gutted albacore; and for increases between +1.5% and 
+3%  for  Northern  prawns.  In  the  field  of  frozen  products,  the  proposal  reflects  increases 
between  +1%  and  +2%  for  hake  (whole  and  fillets),  swordfish  and  Illex,  and  reductions 
between -1% and -3% for sea bream, squids (loligo), and prawns (other Penaeidae). Finally, 
the proposal is for decreasing the Community producer price for tuna products by -2%. 

•  Existing provisions in the area of the proposal 

Council Regulation (EC) No 1212/2009 fixing for the 2010 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  39  of  the  Treaty  on  the  Functioning  of  the 
European Union.

CONSULTATION OF INTERESTED PARTIES AND IMPACT ASSESSMENT 

•  Consultation of interested parties 

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 

The  views  of  both  Committees  have  provided  valuable  input  to  the  Commission's  market 
analysis. 

•  Collection and use of expertise 

Scientific/expertise domains concerned 

Markets in fishery products.222 

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 

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.226 

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. 

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  2011  fishing  year  the  guide  prices  and 
Community producer prices for certain fishery products. 

•  Legal basis 

Article 43(3) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. 

•  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.332 

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.342 

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 EU. 

(4) 

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 2011 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 on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 
43(3) thereof, 

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission, 

Whereas: 

(1) 

(2) 

(3) 

(4) 

(5) 

(6) 

According  to  Article  43(3)  of  the  Treaty,  the  Council,  on  a  proposal  from  the 
Commission, shall adopt measures on the fixing of prices. 

Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 of 17 December 1999 on the common organisation of the 
markets in fishery and aquaculture products1 requires that guide prices and Community 
producer prices for each fishing year shall be fixed in order to determine price levels 
for intervention on the market for certain fisheries products. 

It is incumbent upon the Council to fix the guide prices for each of the products and 
groups of products listed in Annexes I and II to Regulation (EC) No 104/2000, and the 
Community producer prices for the products listed in Annex III 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) or Regulation (EC) No 104/2000, the guide 
prices should be increased, maintained or reduced for the 2011 fishing year depending 
on the species. 

It  is  appropriate  to  establish  the  Community  producer  price  for  one  of  the  products 
listed  in  Annex  III  to  Regulation  (EC)  No  104/2000  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. 

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 2011 fishing year should be adjusted,

1.5. 

Grounds for the proposal/initiative  

1.5.1.  Requirement(s) 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 40 of the TFEU. They aim at providing stability to 
the  EU  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 

1.5.2.  Added value of EU involvement 

The question of subsidiarity is not relevant to this proposal since intervention falls within the 
exclusive competence of the EU. The added value of EU intervention is directly related to the 
underlying  arguments  of  the  existence  of  a  Common  Organisation  of  the  Markets  in  fishery 
and aquaculture products 

1.5.3.  Lessons learned from similar experiences in the past 

The  yearly  fixation  of  the  guide  prices  and  the  Community  producer  price  contribute  to  the 
attainment of the Single Market in the field of fisheries products 

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 

EN 

10 

   EN 

1.5.4.  Coherence and possible synergy with other relevant instruments 

Price  support  and  intervention  mechanisms  are  one  important  component  of  the  Common 
Market  Organisation.  The  guide  prices  provide  the  basis  for  the  subsequent  fixing  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 for the granting of 
the compensatory allowance for tuna which might be triggered depending on the development 
of prices on the world markets
