COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1762/96 of 11 September 1996 amending Regulation (EC) No 2939/94 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 105/76 on the recognition of producers' organizations in the fishing industry
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 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 (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3318/94 (2),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 105/76 of 19 January 1976 on the recognition of producers' organizations in the fishing industry (3), as amended by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3940/87 (4), and in particular Article 2 (2) and 3 thereof,
Whereas the criteria for adequate economic activity of producers' organizations specified in Article 2 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2939/94 (5) laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EEC) No 105/76 cannot be applied to aquaculture; whereas a provision should therefore be added laying down specific criteria for aquaculture products;
Whereas application of Regulation (EC) No 2939/94 has shown that certain provisions relating in particular to the time limit for notifying the Commission of the chosen terms of recognition and the respective obligations of the producers' organization and the Member State need to be made more specific; whereas Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 105/76 provides that in certain cases recognition must be withdrawn from a producers' organization;
Whereas a maximum period for adjustment to the terms of recognition set by that Regulation should be stipulated for producers' organizations recognized before its entry into force; whereas, in order to ensure continuity in the application of the relevant rules, this adjustment period must apply from the date when the Regulation entered into force;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fishery Products,
