I .   Int roduct i on
On 29 December 1981 the Council adopted a new common organization of the
                              1
market in fishery products . This organization is to enter into force in
the near future and will replace the system introduced by Regulation
( EEC ) No 100/ 762 .
Where the internal aspects of the market are concerned , the new system
makes three important changes , namely :
    - the extension to non-members of certain rules laid down by producers'
       organizations ;
    - financial compensation for producers' organizations withdrawing products
       from the market , whereby the greater the quantities withdrawn , the lower
       will be the rate of compensation ;
    - the introduction of a carry-over premium for certain fishery products .
Council Regulations are needed to bring these provisions of the new basic
Regulation into force . Such is the purpose of the present proposals .
 In the very near future , the Commission will also present to the Council
further proposals for regulations to implement the special arrangements for
 sardines and anchovies ( Article 14 of the new basic Regulation provides for
a special carry-over premium ) and to grant , as a temporary measure , increased
aid to producers' organizations .

 II . The extension to non-members of certain rules Laid
      down by producers' organizations
 Under the common organization of the market in fishery products , the producers'
 organizations were given , from the outset , a key role in the everyday management
 of the market . Unfortunately , it has frequently been the case that the measures
 laid down by these organizations to stabilize the market have not achieved
 their full effect because of the disturbing influence of producers who do not
 belong to the organizations .
 To help solve this problem , Article 7 of the new basic Regulation adopted by
 the Council provides that Member States may oblige non-members to comply with
 the marketing rules laid down by producers' organizations and to observe the
 withdrawal price , subject to the condition that the organizations in question
 should be representative of production and marketing in a given geographical
 area .
The Commission proposes that a producers' organization should be considered
 as representative where its production and marketing activity is of significant
 importance on the market for one or more products in the area concerned .
 The marketing rules with which non-members may have to comply relate to such
 matters as all technical aspects of the products' presentation for initial
 sale and the preparation for sale ;                          the stronger
 influence thus enjoyed by the producers' organizations should help to
 stabilize the market , in line with the Council 's wishes .
 On the other hand , the rules to be extended to non-members will apply only
 to the first stage of marketing . Where products have already been sold for
 the first time before they are landed in the area concerned ( such direct
 sales are usually at prices lower than the auction prices , since fewer
 costs are entailed ), provision should be made so that the minimum price
 to be observed at this first stage can be slightly lower than the withdrawal
 price . The Commission proposes to set this minimum at 95% of the withdrawal
 pri ce .
 ---pagebreak---                                 - 3 -
Lastly , the measure cannot achieve its purpose if the rules are made
compulsory for too short a period . For this reason , the Commission proposes
that the period in question should be determined in accordance with the
Management Committee procedure so that it will be easier to adjust the
length of the minimum period should production and marketing requirements
make this necessary . On the other hand , to prevent such extensions of
marketing rules becoming " institutionalized ", it is proposed that the
period in question should not exceed 12 months .
III . The granting of financial compensation
One of the conditions for the granting of financial compensation , as referred
to in Article 13 of the new basic Regulation , is that the producers' organi­
zations should apply the Communi ty withdrawal price . The purpose of the with­
drawal (system itself is to stabilize market prices without entailing the
formation of structural surpluses in the Community .
The aim of the new system of degressive compensation introduced by     the
Council ( Article 13 of the new Regulation ) is to encourage producers' organi­
zations to match their production more closely to the quantitative and quali­
tative needs of the market and to satisfy the requirements relating to the
conservation and management of resources .
To achive these aims , the Commission proposes that financial compensation
should be paid to producers' organizations provided that they have applied
the Community withdrawal price throughout the fishing year . Experience has
shown that it must be clearly stipulated that the members of a producers'
organization are obliged to observe the Community withdrawal price in cases
where they are authorized to market their products in accordance with common
rules laid down by their organization .
 ---pagebreak---                                   - 4 -
To prevent the large-scale withdrawals which might result if the Community
withdrawal price were rigidly applied throughout the year , Article 13(1)(a )
of the new basic Regulation allows producers' organizations to apply a
margin of tolerance extending 10% below and 5% above the Community withdrawal
price , depending on their assessment of the market . This should enable produ­
cers' organizations to take account of the frequent seasonal changes in the
marketing conditions peculiar to each port and each region . Thus , any use
which a producers' organization makes of the margin of tolerance will in
fact depend on local or regional conditions .
To prevent any disturbance of local or regional markets which might result
from several producers' organizations differing in their use of the margin
of tolerance , the Commission proposes that , where a producers' organization
or one of its members offers its products for sale in an area outside its
own operational area , only the use made of the . margin of tolerance in the
area concerned should be taken into consideration for the determination of
the withdrawal price applicable to the quantities in question .
Similarly , financial compensation should be granted only in respect of
products caught by the members of producers' organizations which have rules
to ensure that fishing activities take place along rational lines and that
conditions for the sale of their products are improved . It would be wrong
for non-members , who are not obliged to comply with these rules , to qualify
for financial compensation .
The Commission proposes , therefore , that , subject to certain conditions ,
financial compensation should be payable only in respect of those products
which have been offered for sale through a producers' organization or by
one of its members , in accordance with the rules laid down by the organization .
Compensation should not be payable on products which are offered for sale
without having been graded in accordance with the marketing standards
provided for in the basic Regulation or which do not meet these standards
at the time of their withdrawal from the market .
 ---pagebreak---                                    - 5 -
It must be borne in mind that one of the basic aims of the common
organization of the market in fishery products is to improve the
quality of products intended for humanconsumption and to exclude from
the market any products which do not meet the standards laid down in
the basic Regulation . The provisions to this effect would be a dead letter
if products failing to meet these standards were allowed to qualify for
financial compensation or if , having been graded according to these stan­
dards , products were stored and offered for sale at a later date but no
longer satisfied the same marketing standards at the time of their
withdrawal . This measure would prohibit any manipulation of the classi­
fication arrangements when products are being auctioned .
Again with a view to preventing any abuse , the Commission proposes that
financial compensation should be granted only in respect of products which
have been offered for sale in the usual manner but have failed to find a
buyer at the Community withdrawal price . Otherwise , producers' organizations
might be tempted to withdraw their products from the market before offering
them for sale , so as to obtain a better price through fluctuations in supply
as the sale was taking place . It would be wrong for products withdrawn in this
way to qualify for any financial compensation .
Clearly , no financial compensation can be granted in respect of products
qualifying for the carry-over premium provided for in Article 14 of the
basic Regulation , since the purpose of this premium is to prevent the des­
truction of certain listed products with a high commercial value , subject
to certain conditions .
Lastly , since the amount of the financial compensation is calculated on
the basis of three factors ( quantities offered for sale in each year ,
quantities withdrawn , quantities qualifying for the carry-over premium )
which cannot be determined until the end of the fishing year , no financial
 compensation can be paid until then , especially as it is also necessary to
ensure that producers' organizations which did not observe the Community
withdrawal price throughout the year do not qualify for such compensation .
The Commission proposes , however , that advances may be granted subject to
 the lodging of a security .

IV . The carry-over premium
The essential purpose   of the carry-over premium introduced by Article 14
of the basic Regulation is to prevent the undesirable destruction of
valuable products which could be marketed at a later stage as processed
products . This measure serves to allay the concern , frequently expressed
within the Community , over the denaturing of products intended for human
consumption .
The Commission is well aware , however , of the difficulties presented by
the implementation of this new measure . It does not rule out a review of
the proposed arrangements at the end of a trial period .
For the time being , the Commission proposes that the carry-over premium
should be granted only in respect of products which are known to be
marketable after processing and storage for at least 30 days without
creating any serious disturbance on the market . The Commission would also
point out that the Community has a considerable trading deficit in the
demersal species concerned . In the case of shrimps , the Commission considers
that the carry-over premium should help to facilitate the disposal of occa­
sional surpluses , in the form of frozen shrimps , for example .
To prevent the formation of structural surpluses on the market for processed
products , it is proposed that as a rule , only top-quality products should
qualify for the carry-over premium . As regards the sizes to be taken into
consideration , the Commission proposes that the Management Committee should
decide on this matter since account must be taken of all the distinctive
characteristics of each species and the specific market concerned .
The carry-over premium is to be paid to producers' organizations which have
themselves processed the products concerned or which have been responsible
for having them processed . The aim of this provision is to prevent specula­
tive operations from depressing prices on the market for fresh products
and to facilitate more effective supervision by the Member States . The
 competent authorities in the Member States must be in a position to ascertain
whether processing and storage has actually taken place in accordance with
the conditions laid down . This will be easier to achieve if the authorities
only have to deal with a single body , in this case the producers' organizations
 ---pagebreak---                                  - 7 -
 Given the fluctuations affecting the markets in the species concerned and
 the marketing risks involved , the carry-over premium can only be effective
 if it applies throughout the fishing year . The Commission proposes , therefore ,
 that the amount of the premium should be fixed at the beginning of the fishing
 year .
To the same end , it is proposed that the amount of the premium should be
 determined by the Management Committee . Account has to be taken of the
 interdependence of the various- markets ( both in fresh and in frozen products )
 and of the marketing conditions peculiar to each case . In addition , the
 amount of the premium must not exceed the limits laid down in the basic
 Regulation or entail windfall profits for certain producers' organizations .
 For this reason , it is proposed that the amount of the premium should be
 calculated on the basis of the lowest technical processing and storage
 costs recorded in the Community during the preceding fishing year .
 Article 14 of the basic Regulation provides that the premium should be
 granted only in respect of quantities not exceeding 15% of the total
 quantity of the product put up for sale each year . Since it is not possible ,
 until the end of the fishing year , to ascertain whether this condition has been
 fulfilled and whether the 15% limit has been exceeded , the premium cannot be
 paid until the end of the year in question . However , to avoid excessive
 practical difficulties with the implementation of this provision , the
 Commission proposes that , as in the case of financial compensation , advances
 may be granted subject to the lodging of a security .
 V. Budgetary aspects
 The budgetary aspects of financial compensation and carry-over premiums
 were taken into consideration in the drafting of the new basic Regulation .
 The Council and the Commission estimated that these new measures would
 mean an increase of some 10% in the intervention expenditure of the EAGGF
 Guarantee Section in respect of fishery products .
 The Regulation on the extension of producers' organizations' marketing rules
 to non-members will have no consequences for the Community Budget .
