THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 of 29 December 1981 on the common organization of the market in fishery products (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 17 (6) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1196/76 of 17 May 1976 laying down general rules for the granting of compensation to producers of tunny for the canning industry (2), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas Article 17 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 provides that compensation is to be granted, if necessary, to Community producers of tuna in respect of tuna for the canning industry; whereas this measure was included in order to compensate Community producers for any disadvantages that may arise under the import arrangements; whereas by virtue of the latter a fall in the import prices for tuna could directly threaten the income level of Community producers of this product;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1196/76 establishes criteria for enabling an assessment to be made of the extent to which this threat has materialized and lays down rules for determining the amount of the compensation;
Whereas the categories of tuna eligible for compensation should be specified;
Whereas for quantities for which entitlement to compensation is established, rules should be laid down governing the submission of applications by the parties concerned in order to obtain payment of the compensation;
Whereas Member States' control authorities should be responsible for adopting suitable provisions for monitoring on a permanent basis the system introduced;
Whereas the Management Committee for Fishery Products has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
