COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 3516/93 of 20 December 1993 establishing the operative events for the conversion rates to be applied when calculating certain amounts provided for by the mechanisms of the common organization of the market in fishery  and aquaculture products
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 of 28 December 1992 on the unit of account and the conversion rates to be applied for the purposes of the common agricultural policy (1), and in particular Article 6 (2) thereof,
Whereas all the specific definitions of operative events and rates applicable to amounts payable under the measures provided for in Council Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 of 17 December 1992 on the common organization of the market in fishery and  aquaculture products (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1891/93 (3), and Council Regulation (EEC) No 3117/85 of 4 November 1985 laying down general rules on the granting of compensatory indemnities in respect of sardines (4), as amended by  Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3940/87 (5), should be collated in a single Regulation;
Whereas under the third indent of the second paragraph of Article 23 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1068/93 of 30 April 1993 on detailed rules for determining and applying agricultural conversion rates (6), the operative events established therein  are applicable to fishery products from 1 January 1994;
Whereas the use on the operative event provided for in the fourth indent of the first subparagraph of Article 10 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1068/93 for withdrawal prices and amounts linked to those prices is not appropriate because of the timetables in  use on fishery product markets and because of the dispersion of those markets; whereas the second day of the month should therefore be adopted as the operative event;
Whereas the operative events for financial compensation and carry-over aid should be consistent with the operative events for withdrawal prices and other amounts involved in their calculation;
Whereas since the definition of the rate applicable to certain measures provided for in Regulations (EEC) No 3759/92 and (EEC) No 3117/85 may cause confusion because of the new definitions set out in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 the  operative events and rates applicable to the amounts payable under those measures should be clearly specified;
Whereas the references mentioned in Article 13 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 4176/88 of 28 December 1988 laying down detailed rules of application for the granting of flat-rate aid for certain fisheries products (7), as amended by Regulation (EEC)  No 2210/93 (8), should be adapted as a result of the replacement of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3321/82 of 9 December 1982 laying down detailed rules for the granting of a carry-over premium for certain fishery products (9) by Commission Regulation  (EEC) No 3901/92 (10), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3515/93 (11);
Whereas an operative event should be established for the rate of conversion to be applied to the different prices notified in the context of the organization of the market; whereas this operative event must correspond to a single day of the period for  which the price is calculated; whereas since practical use is made of this information a posteriori the operative event should be established as the last day of the period for which the price is calculated;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fishery Products,
