                 Under Regulation ( EEC ) No 2142/70 on the common organisation
in fishery product , the intervention price for fresh or chilled sardines and
anchovies is fixed and this intervention price can be fixed at a level of
between 35 and 45 /» of "the guide price according to the production charac­
teristics and the character of the particular market for each product .
                 The present regulation is intended to fix the intervention
price in conformity with the dispositions of Regulation (EEC ) No 2142/70.
                 The present proposal reflects the Council declaration relating
to the level of these prices , "The Council invites the Commission to take into
consideration , at the submission of the proposal relating to intervention prices ,
the importance which is attached to the need for these prices to be near the
upper limit of the bracket shown in Article 8 , paragraph 3" ( cf R/ 2129/70
( AGRI 691 ) of 20 October 1970 .
Financial funding
                 Since the putting into force of the intervention price for
chilled or fresh sardines and anchovies , there has no longer been any need to
buy for intervention .   If , on the basis of quantities liable to being withdrawn ,
of 2,500 tonnes ( the figure taken into account for financial interventions for
previous years ) and taking into account the increase in the intervention price
for the products in question , the increase in expenses resulting from the
purchase of products mentioned in Article 11 of Regulation (ECC ) NO 2142/70
for the 1975 season , perhaps estimated at r,bout 31*500 UA ( Chapter 71 » Article 711
of the budget of the European Communities ,
