COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 3353/93 of 22 November 1993 fixing the guide prices for the fishery products listed in Annex I (A), (D) and (E) to Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 for the 1994 fishing year
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
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), and in particular Article 9 (3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Article 9 (1) and (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 provides that a guide price shall be fixed for each of the products listed in Annex I (A), (D) and (E) to the Regulation at a level which will help to stabilize market prices and avoid the  formation of surpluses in the Community; whereas that level must also help support producers' income and at the same time take account of consumers' interest;
Whereas the guide price shall be based on the average of prices as defined in Article 9 (2) of that Regulation and on an assessment of production and demand prospects;
Whereas the application of these criteria involves for the 1994 fishing year a decrease for certain products and the stabilization or increase of prices for others compared with prices applicable during the current fishing year;
Whereas in accordance with Articles 169 and 356 of the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, a ninth approximation of guide prices must take place on 1 January 1994 for Atlantic sardines of the species Sardina pilchardus,
