COM ( 75 ) 178 final
 ---pagebreak---                          EXFLANATORY MEMORANDUM,
 The market for frozen products listed in Annex III (A ) and Annex IV (B ) of
 Regulation (EEC ) n° 2142/70 concerns the common organization of the market
 in the fishery products sector , which is in serious economic difficulties*
 In order to overcome these difficulties } it is necessary that measures be taken,
"both in the long and the short term. The Commission has , therefore , recently
fixed export restitutions for certain products (frozen cod fillets and fillets
of fresh saithe ), and will determine the reference price for all the products
of Annex IV ( B ) in the course of this month.
Nevertheless , as much for motives of policy as for economic reasons , it is
necessary to put into force not only measures at the frontier, "but equally at
the internal level . These measures should take the form of aids to private
storage . It is opportune to allow for - and in order to avoid an inopportune
discharge from stock , and in consequence a net decrease in certain frozen
products - the possibility of according to producers aidB to private storage
for products of Community origin.
The present situation could equally well occur in future years , and an addi­
tion to the "basic regulation in so far as it concerns aids to private storage
for fishery products listed in Annex IV (B ) of Regulation (EEC ) n° 2142/70
seems therefore to be justified.
The criteria which could be used in determining the granting of such aids are to
be found equally in the development of prices and of quantities stocked on the
Community markets as on the expectation of outlets and net tendencies towards
the lowering of prices on the world market.

The costs of this proposal are estimated at 3 million U.A. for the year 1975 *
                                                                               *
The credits allowed for in the 1975 budget rise for interventions to 2 million
U.A. , which will serve to pay for financial compensation.
The eventual supplementary expenses of the proposal will be covered by the
transfer of credits as a function of the development of the situation.
