                            EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
Regulation (EEC ) No 2142/70 on the common organisation of the market in
fishery products provides for an intervention price to be fixed for fresh or
frozen sardines and anchovies , at a level lying somewhere "between 35$ and 45$
of the guide prices , depending on the production and marketing characteristics
peculiar to each product .
The purpose of this Regulation is to fix these intervention prices in
accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EEC ) Ho 2142/70.
This proposal takes account of the following declaration "by the Council
concerning the level of these prices : "The Council invites the Commission ,
when presenting its proposal on tervention prices , to "bear in mind that it is
important that these prices should lie near the upper limit of the range
indicated in Article 8 ( 3 )"«
( Cf. R/2129/70 (AGRI 691 ) of 20 October 1970).
Financial effects
Since the implementation of the system of intervention prices for fresh or
frozen sardines and anchovies , there has never been occasion to buy in at the
intervention price .  Assuming a figure of 2.500 metric tons for the quantity
liable to be withdrawn from the market , (the figure taken as a basis for
financial interventions in previous years ) and bearing in mind the increase
in intervention prices for the products in question , the increase in the cost
of buying-in the products to which Article 11 of Regulation (EEC ) No 2142/70
applies nay be estimated at for the year 1974 about 30.000 u.a.
(Cf. Chapter 71 * Article 711 » of the Budget of the European Communities ).
