Proposal for a Council Regulation fixing the guide prices for the fishery products listed in Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 for the 2000 fishing year  /* COM/99/0574 final */  

Proposal for a COUNCIL REGULATION fixing the guide prices for the fishery products listed in Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 for the 2000 fishing year(presented by the Commission) EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUMRegulation (EEC) No 3759/92 on the common organisation of the market in fishery products provides that, for each of the products listed in Annex II, a guide prices is to be fixed for each product on the basis of the average of prices recorded for a significant proportion of Community output on representative markets or in representative ports during the three fishing years immediately preceding the year for which the price is fixed. There have been some price decreases over the medium and short term for these products, which is largely a result of price developments in the international markets. The Commission therefore proposes for the 2000 fishing year that the Community guide prices should be adjusted downwards for cuttlefish and prawns (other Penaeidae) by -2% and for sea bream, squid (Illex), octopus, Greenland halibut and whole and filleted hake by -1%. After a consideration of the price movements in the market and the level of guide prices, there should however be no change in the guide price for squid (Ommastrephes sagittatus) nor for prawns (Parapenaeus). On the other hand, given that prices have risen considerably over the medium term, there should be a 2% rise in the guide price for squid (Loligo patagonica).
