Council Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 of 17 December 1992 on the common
organization of the market in fishery and aquaculture products reformed that

199 3 fiehing year in accorde^.... ; with Article 9 of Regulation (EEC)

the common organization of the market before the entry into force of
Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92.

result, the Regulation proposed here should also take effect from 1 January
1993.
Such are the purpoewa ot this proposal for a Council Regulation amendiiuj

                        for a Council Regulation (EEC)
        amending Regulation (EEC) No 3742/92 fixing the guide prices
         for the fishery products listed in Annex 1(A), (D) and (E)
          to Regulation (EEC) No 3687/91 for the 1993 fishing year

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 of 17 December 1992 on
the common organization of the market in fishery and aquaculture products^,
and in particular Article 9(3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 reforms certain mechanisms of the common
organization of the market in fishery products and introduces new products
eligible for measures under those mechanisms; whereas the application of the
said mechanisms requires the guide prices for the new products concerned to
be fixed in accordance with Article 9(1) and (2) of that Regulation;
Whereas Regulations   (EEC) No 3724/922 and No 372S/923 of 3 December 1992
fixed the guide prices for the 1993 fishing year for the fishery products
covered by the common organization of the market before the entry into force
of Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 and must therefore be amended to include the
guide prices fixed for the new products,

Whereas  the   entry  into   force   on   1 January  1993  of  Regulation   (EEC)
No 3759/92 has given producer organizations an entitlement, from that date,
to Community  support for interventions on the market       in the new products
concerned;  whereas,   therefore,   this   Regulation  should  also  apply   from
1 January 1993,

COMMENTS :
Since this is a price fixing exercise, the impact on expenditure is indirect. The expenditure concerned
depends greatly on market trends and quantities landed. In addition, the budget estimate for the 1993
fishing year had already taken account of the new products and any measures connected with these products
will not entail additional expenditure.
