 ---pagebreak---                                   EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
The present regulation is intended to fix guidance prices for products listed ,
in annex I , A and C of Regulation ( EEC ) No 100 / 76 on the common organization
of the market in the fishery products sector for 1980 . Article .9 of this regu­
lation allows for the fixing of a guide price for each of the products which
is established for each fishing season on the basis of the average price on the
wholesale parket or representative port during the three fishing seasons precee-
ding the fixing of the price for a significant proportion of the Community output
for a product of defined market characteristics .
The starting point, in the price fixing procedure for 1981 has been the compa­
rison of the mean of the prices set out below established during the period
1978 / 1980 < 1980 ; six months ) and that of the period 1977 / 1979 , the latter
having been the base for fixing the guide price for 1980 . Market weaknesses
already noted for 1979 continued into 1980 and the market tended to become
firmer only . towards the end of this year . The effects of the guide price for
1981 on the level of the withdrawal prices and the desired relationship between
these prices with regard to the lowest prices noted on the Community market have
been correspondingly taken into account with regard to this tendency . Nevertheless
for certain produces where there is a wide divergence between the market price
and the existing guide price , a substantial increase may.be envisaged .
Given this situation , it is proposed that .1980 guide prices for mackerel , Atlantic
and Mediterranean sardines , anchovies and shrimps be retained for 1981 and ar>
increase in the guide price of from 3 - 12% , according to "species , , should be
al*lowed for with regard to other products .              ^  ,
In order to avoid certain anomalies which occurred in the 1980 market , the
Commission is intending to carry out a revision of certain corrective factors/
used as a basis for the calculation of withdrawal prices and to adjust certain
marketing standards , particularly those for redfish , sardines and whiting .

of the market in fishery products , a guide price is to be fixed for
each of the products listed in Annex II to the Regulation . It is to

based on the average of prices recorded on representative wholesale
markets or in representative ports during the three fishing years
immediately preceding the fixing of the price for a significant
