COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1935/93 of 12 July 1993 amending Regulation (EEC) No 103/76 laying down common marketing standards for certain fresh or chilled fish
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic 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 2 (3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92, in revising certain mechanisms of the common organization of the market in fishery products, introduces new products which are eligible for the assistance provided for under those mechanisms; whereas application of  the mechanisms requires the setting of common marketing standards for the new products in question;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 103/76 (2) lays down common marketing standards for certain fresh or chilled fish and should therefore be amended accordingly to include the new products eligible for assistance;
Whereas the size standards for certain fishery products provide for minimum market sizes expressed by weight; whereas these standards must be fully consistent with the minimum biological sizes for the species concerned, expressed by length, applicable  under Council Regulation (EEC) No 3094/86 of 7 October 1986 laying down certain technical measures for the conservation of fishery resources (3); whereas, in order to guarantee the necessary consistency, adjustments should be made to the minimum market  size of certain products,
