                                             Brussels, 17 December 1992
                                Proposal for a
                           COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC)
                         setting up specific measures
                      in favour of cephalopods producers
                   permanently based in the Canary Islands
                        (presented by the Commission)

                                  EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
        On 26 June 1991 the Council adopted provisions for the application of
        Community law to the Canary Islands (Regulation (EEC) No 1911/91) and
        decided on a programme of options specific to the remote and insular
        nature of the Canary Islands (Poseican) (Decision 91/314/EEC).
        As Council Decision setting up Poseican establishes spécifia measures
         for fisheries; it would be appropriate to implement a specific measure
         in order to maintain the competitiveness and improve the distribution
         system for cephalopods in the Canary Islands.
        The insertion of the Canary Islands in the customs area of the Community
        have substantially modified the economic conditions which had applied
        earlier    in these territories.  It  is therefore  appropriate to  give
        transitory assistance which will allow the sector to adapt to these new
        conditions.
        The aim of this proposal is to implement specific measures in form of
        cephalopods producers permanently based in the Canary Islands.

       provides that the Canary Islands form part of the common fisheries policy
       and     that    application   will  be  accompanied  by  specific  measures,   where
       necessary, to take account of Canary Islands productions;

       specific features and constraints affecting the archipelago;
       Whereas it is necessary to provide for specific measures to maintain the
       competitiveness and improve the production system of the cephalopod fishery
       in the Canary Islands, whereas these measures should be limited to defined
       quantities and amounts;
