 ---pagebreak---                                 EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
The aim of this Regulation is to fix for 1983 the guide prices for the products
Listed in Annex I ( A ) and ( D ) to Regulation ( EEC ) No 3796 / 81 on the common organi­
zation of the market in fishery products .     Article 10 of the Regulation provides
that a guide price is to be fixed for each of these products for each fishing year
on the basis of the average of prices recorded for a significant proportion of
Community output and a product with given commercial characteristics on represen­
tative wholesale markets or in representative ports during the three fishing years
immediately preceding the year for which the price is fixed .         In fixing the price ,
account is also to be taken of production and demand prospects and of other cri­
teria relating to the stabilization of market prices , the support of producers'
income and consumers' interests .
The starting point of the procedure for fixing prices for 1983 was a comparison of
the average of prices referred to above recorded during the period from 1980 to
1982 ( 1982 : 6 months ) with that for the period from      1979 to 1981 , the latter
having been used to fix the guide price for 1982 .
Account is taken in the guide prices proposed for 1983 of the overall improvement
of the fisheries market , market weaknesses observed in 1981 having continued only
for some species .  In view of that trand account was taken of the impact of guide
prices for 1983 on the level of withdrawal prices and the desired relationship
between the latter and the prices recorded on Community markets .
                       : "X
It is proposed therefore :
- to prolong in 1983 , for herring and Atlantic sardines , the guide prices valid
   for 1982 ;
- to increase the guide price from , depending on the species , 2 % to 6 % for the
   other products .

                     for a Council Regulation ( EEC )
             fixing the guide prices for the fishery products listed in
        Annex I ( A ) and ( D ) of Regulation ( EEC ) No 3796/ 61 for the 1983
                                     fishing year
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community ,
Having regard to Regulation ( EEC ) No 3796 / 81 of 29 December 1981 on the common
                                                     1
organization of the market in fishery products         and in particular Article 10(3 )
thereof .
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ,
Whereas Article 10(1 ) and ( 2 ) of Regulation ( EEC ) No 3796 / 81 provides that a guide
price shall be fixed for each of the products listed in Annex I ( A ) and ( D ) to that
Regulation at a level which will help to stabilize market price and avoid the
formation of surpluses in the Community ;
Whereas that level must also help support producers' income and at the same time
take account of consumers' interest ;
Whereas the guide price shall be based on the average of prices as defined in
Article 10(2 ) of the Regulation and on an assessment of production and demand
prospects ; ~
Whereas the application of the criteria laid down in Article 10 of Regulation ( EEC )
No 3796 / 81 and referred to above involves for the 1983 fishing year        an increase
for certain products and the stabilization of prices for others compared with
prices applicable during the current fishing year ; whereas in.-view of the seasonal
variations in the characteristics of plaice , the guide price should be increased
from 1 May 1983 ; whereas , in the absence of certain information concerning price
trends for each fishery product with given commercial characteristics , consideration
should be given to the relationship between the average weighted market prices re­
corded when the guide prices were fixed for the previous fishing year for these
products , and the average weighted market prices now current ,

Icaour s i ( 1 ) since it is amat er of fixingprices , the impact on expenditure wil
     be indirect . The expenditure in question is heavily dependent on developments in
    the market and the quantities landed . In 1982 appropriations amounted to 31.75
    million ECU . Subject to certain doubts concerning the budget implications of the
    entry into force of the new arrangements for the organisation of markets , the 1983
    appropriations of 37.05 million ECU provided for in Chapter 30 of the proposed
    budget can be considered adequate .

Regulation ( EEC) No 3796/ 81 on the common organization of the market
in fishery products provides that a reference price is to be fixed for
each of the products listed in Annex II to that Regulation based on
the average of prices recorded for a significant proportion of Commu­
nity output and a product with given commercial characteristics on
 representative wholesale markets or in representative ports during the
 three fishing years immediately preceding the year for which the price
 is fixed .
 An examination of price trends for the products in question indicates
 that the guide prices should be increased for certa-in products and
 maintained for others , at their current level , for the 1983 fishing year .
